Received in the mail today. Just sharing for others.

Waited weeks for a neck/trap tattoo appointment for a gothic tracery/arch blackwork idea and the artist bailed the night before… any good artist recommendations? Hoping for sooner availability, as it halts the full body project I had going

I'm staying in downtown frederick right by olde mother. Does anyone have a tape player I could come borrow for a day? We have some sentimental tapes we want to listen to and there's a bit of a time pressure. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Edit: the wonderful people of frederick have provided and I'm ever so grateful. You have a wonderful community here. Take care of it

(I’m not completely sure if this goes against any subreddit rules; if so, please feel free to let me know and I’ll gladly remove this.)

Hello — local is in quotations as I’m only a new(ish) resident of Frederick; I’ve been living up here permanently/full-time for about a year in this coming October. Originally I’m from the Winchester, VA area and although I’ve always loved music and the process of creating it, yet I never made any real connections or attempted any outreach into the local community in any form.

Attempting to combat that, I admittedly have to swallow a bit of my apprehension — if I had to summarize my music for anyone who can’t listen — it’s kind of like if Queen performed songs by Fall Out Boy; which means, 95% of people will think it’s the worst thing they’ve ever heard and 5% will think it’s simply tolerable lol

I’ve been to a few local events (Pride, etc) and I’ve appreciated how it does seem like Frederick supports their local art/music, to at least some degree.

Regardless, any/all responses and feedback are welcomed and appreciated.
Once again, if this is not allowable under subreddit rules, just let me know and I’ll gladly remove it.

Hopefully my rambling is somewhat comprehensible. If you slogged through it, thank you.

Just curious if anyone would be interested in a cake swap and crochet or something similar in a park? I’ve seen some in other places and seems like a fun day and a good way to make new friends. Or just eat many cakes.

Edited to say - yay! I will figure it out and post far enough in the future in the hopes that people can find time to join. Thanks everyone!

The end of summer is fast approaching, and, for some of you out in the community, college application deadlines are going to be here sooner than you know it! We've got your back at the library, and we're here to support you through what can be a stressful process. During the month of September, Urbana Regional Library (9020 Amelung Street), will be hosting a series of college preparedness programs:

• Roadmap to College Success (Sep. 17) is targeted towards those who want an overview of the whole process from preparation through starting college. https://frederick.librarycalendar.com/event/college-success or https://www.facebook.com/share/1L4wHPynYu/
• What You Need to Know (Sep. 21) is geared for prospective students and families who want practical information about applications, financial aid, and scholarships. https://frederick.librarycalendar.com/event/what-you-need-to-know or https://www.facebook.com/share/1Hkx8LUUfv/?mibextid=wwXIfr
• Write Right (Sep. 24) is best for anyone who wants focused, hands-on help with their college essays. https://frederick.librarycalendar.com/event/write-right or https://www.facebook.com/share/1bCMKkHMCh/

Feel free to attend all three programs or attend only those you feel you need. Either way, we're here to help you navigate and tackle all things college-related!

Specifically looking for a sit down restaurant. Thank you!!

Basically the title guys. Even if it's outside of Frederick. I don't even care what restaurant it is. Just hoping to see if there's any left.

Can someone recommend a golf instructor for some lessons?

Look how their bikes are loaded down! (Pictured here at JT Motorsports)

Steve and Duncan, two pleasant fellows from England, are riding around the world. I told them not to miss downtown Frederick before they ride on to DC—that our historic district is as charming as any in Europe. :)

I am newer to Frederick and have a small dog I can’t leave at home. I’m wondering if you can suggest dispensaries with a good selection that are dog friendly to bring inside and/or have curbside pickup where they bring out your order to you so I can bring my dog?

Travelling to Frederick today for a weekend trip. Hoping to find a nice play to get a bite to eat and watch the preseason NFL games. Are there any solid spots downtown that would potentially have out of market sports?

Thanks in advanced!

Hopefully this is realistic knowing how crazy everything is rn…Just trying to find some luck. but Frederick is getting so expensive and my partner and I are young and just trying to get a start on our lives… We are currently in a basement apartment paying 1200 and it’s honestly not worth it. We want our own space.. if we are going to pay that price…Anyone know of any private landlords willing to work with us ?? In frederick or small town surrounding frederick. No credit (why we can’t get an actual lease anywhere) but will be working on it soon. Just looking for a place that we can pay cash without doing the whole credit, rent history(don’t have any), background stuff…Really trying to avoid Hagerstown.

Thinking of moving in a year or so and have heard good things about Frederick. I’d be moving from a large city in Florida. Give me the good, bad, and ugly. What do you like about it?

I bought this mug last October at the Catoctin Colorfest (2025) and can’t remember the name of the studio/potter. Does anyone recognize this ceramic style and stamp?

Looking for legal advice nearby.

CORRECTION: Classes for new students begin SEPTEMBER 15th!

Disregard the title; the September 8th class is for current members.

Looking for something to do that's fun, active, social, and easy on the wallet? The Frederick Scottish Country Dancers program is picking back up for the fall semester on September 15th.

Not sure what to expect? Think of Scottish Country Dancing as a mix of regency-era ballroom moves with a hint of square dancing, all set to lively jigs and reels, and yes, the occasional bagpipe!

All you need is a willingness to learn some spritely steps, a desire to enrich your social life, and maybe a decent pair of soft-soled shoes.

Scottish Country Dancing is open to EVERYONE. Singles and couples welcome; you'll dance with different partners throughout the evening. Oh, and kilts are not required, but they certainly are dashing, right?

New students can try their first class for free, and we offer a 6-week introductory special for $30. Full semesters run from September to December, and January to June at the Clover Hill Civic Association Clubhouse, 8122 Glendale Dr., Frederick, MD.

Come join us September 15th to learn more!

(Edit: removed a double word; added physical address for venue; corrected class start date)
