A mural is being painted on the west side of the College Ave. bridge over the park pedestrian path near the bocce courts. I like what I see so far.

It feels like BJJ is getting ready for another boom like it did during Covid. Seems more and more people are joining now than in recent years. I am not sure if people know this, but we have several incredible schools here with great instructor cadres. Groundswell, Urbana Academy, Clinch, Bowerhouse, etc . It doesn’t to be jits or MT. Maybe boxing or judo is more your speed.

Most of these schools have early morning, mid morning and evening classes. so no matter your work schedule, there is something for everyone.

If you’ve ever had any interest in trying one of these schools out, I highly recommend it. I am in my 40’s and have been training for several years. it has brought so many great friends from all sorts of walks of life, good health and a new passion. Seems people are becoming lonelier and more disconnected than ever and this is a great way to fight against it. Literally.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Does anyone have any info on the new yoga studio in the common market shopping center off 7th? There's new signage up next to the Mathnasium that just says YOGA.

I visited Frederick, MD recently and was surprised by how quiet South Market Street gets once you go past the river. The downtown area closer to the center feels lively, but just a little farther south, it seemed like foot traffic dropped off pretty quickly.

I'm curious about the local perspective. Is this normal throughout the week, or was it just the timing of my visit? Is there a reason that stretch gets less foot traffic? Do people tend to stay north of the creek, or is it more about parking, the mix of businesses, or something else?

I'm interested in learning more about the area from people who live, work, or own businesses in Frederick. I'd love to hear your thoughts and any context I'm missing.

Hi! I am a Frederick local (M24) looking for people to make music with in the DMV area. Preferably anyone in their 20s and who is queer friendly.

I typically make alternative music ranging from shoegaze, goth, dream pop and post-rock. I can sing play guitar/keys, and have a good understanding of music theory. Would love to collaborate with people who can sing and/or play an instrument like guitar, bass, or even drums.

I have a lot of material already recorded and released. I’m interested in collaborating on original music, experimenting with sounds, and possibly forming a band if things click. Mostly looking for like minded people to get creative with.

If you’re interested feel free to message me! We can exchange socials and share music.

A driver was charged with two traffic violations after striking a student and an adult in a crosswalk near Tuscarora Elementary School in Frederick on Tuesday morning, according to the Frederick County Sheriff's Office.

Both pedestrians were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Katie Robine, a spokesperson for the Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded at approximately 8:45 a.m. to the 6300 block of Lambert Drive for a report of a vehicle striking a juvenile and an adult pedestrian, Robine said.

The pedestrians were struck in a crosswalk leading to the Tuscarora Elementary School parking lot on Tennison Drive, Robine said.

My spouse and I spent our day off in downtown Frederick yesterday. It was absolutely beautiful. We had the BEST cup of coffee at Cafe Nola! Strong and very hot and flavorful. Breakfast was great there as well. Just a perfect day out.

Hey all I’m looking for other like minded bmw people in Frederick! Looking to start meets, drives and just various car knowledge!

Can somebody please recommend a trusted travel agent in the Frederick area? TIA.

I’ve been to lucky corner and thought it pretty good but I wasn’t sure if anyone had some hidden gems

This just makes me smile so much. Keep Frederick Weird!!!!

I hope other folks saw the launch as well around 6:40

This was given to me as a gift from someone who passed recently. The only person I can find is someone from Damascus who is charging me $100 for a small hole…

It’s really important if anyone is an expert please let me know.

I’ve asked help from someone else but the hole keeps reappearing.

for the second week in a row now, my baby and I have been woken up at 3am because of a loud beeping alarm on the garbage trucks. we live downtown and I’m so frustrated! WHY do the garbage trucks have this beeping alarm on them?? it’s not the beeps that trucks have when they’re backing up because I saw it and it wasnt backing up. so so so frustrating

I ran into a really cute man in Walmart (on guilford Dr) around 3 today 10/12. I don’t really know what he said because I had my AirPod in, but when I took it out he told me I was beautiful and he stopped, and I kind of froze because no one really has ever stopped me to do that. It was over near the pharmacy.

But, I didn’t run into him again, but I wish I had given him my name and number because he was so cute! I think he was either working there or working on DoorDash because it looked like he was working… or looking very intently for something! So if anyone knows a mid/upper 20s man who is Caucasian and may have been at Walmart this afternoon, please tell him I am sorry for not connecting, but I hope I run into him again because he was one of the cutest men I’ve ever seen around here 🤭

Does anyone have a local business that they get company tshirts/polos/hats/car stickers from? I have a friend who wants to order some things soon for their business and would prefer to support local. Maybe some kind of new business package is available?

Looking for a company to repair an exterior leak on the side of my house. There are several windows and wood panels. Looking for a company that can track down the leak and fix it.

Anyone have good experiences with a local company?
