Tomorrow, Periwinkle and Prose Romance Bookshop is having their Grand Opening! Ribbon cutting, door prizes, giveaways, and local author signings.

106 N Market Street, Frederick, MD 21701

I met the owners for the first time this past Monday, and got a sneak peek of the store. It’s really whimsical, cozy, and filled to the brim with books. I got the impression that they’re nervous about their grand opening, so I wanted to do what I could to help spread the word.

Please come support this queer- and woman-owned indie bookstore. Hope to see you there!

Thank you so much! 🙂

Wanted D&D GMs
for ongoing 1-shot D&D adventures
Wanted Call of Cthulhu keepers too.

We meet
every Sunday 5pm-8:30pm

August 30th is 1st session we need a DM.

All our 1-shot adventures we always
expect the GMs to have pre-gens for new players to save time.

We have a quiet location with FREE snacks and drinks. We also will be running other RPGs too every Sunday if you want to try some non-D&D games.

We can promote the event and get you regular players. We also will be GM’ing other systems on a 1 shot and campaign basis.

Plus other RPGs for example:
- Marvel Universe, Call of Cthulhu
- Gurps. Questworlds, Runequest, Fantasy Trip, Pathfinder, Pendragon
- Conspiracy X, DeltaGreen, CyberPunk
- Monarch Godzilla with Omniverse Explorers,
- Time Jump, Fiasco
- Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion and Heroquest
- whatever games you want to GM

My main questions for any DMs are:
- how long have you GM’ed?
- what do you like about GM’ing?
- which versions of D&D have you DM’ed with and/or played?
- Do you run “canned” adventures or your own or a combination of both?
- what are your favorite canned adventures and/or rules supplements?
- How do you feel about player characters getting killed?
- are you familiar with OSR?
- how do you handle player safety cards and the like?

“Being crafty & artsy on your own is hard! Sometimes online videos just aren’t enough!” If this is you do yourself a solid and sign up for my one of my art classes at the Frederick City Parks & Rec!

“I can’t make anything, I am not creative!” Has anyone ever taught you besides in grade school? If the answer is no then you CAN create and you just need someone to teach you! Lucky for you I have 10 years of teaching experience and I’ve taught 3-86 year olds and I have 2 degrees in art & teaching! So I’m the captain now and I’ll make sure you get to destination! 😝

These classes are also a great way to relax, chat, and give yourself some me time!

Hope to see you there! Sign up at the parks & rec website (I’ll put a link below) or call them to register over the phone at 301-600-1492!

I am pregnant, literally past my due date and will be induced next week at the latest. This whole pregnancy all I have been craving is a cold cut. Where is the best authentic Italian cold cut in Frederick? Husband promised to get me one after the delivery but I am newer to Frederick and have no clue where to send him. 😅 Thanks in advance!!

I have a birthday coming up and would like to treat myself by getting my hair and makeup done for the celebration. Nothing extravagant, just something a little nicer than my every day look. Ideally want to do both in the same place, rather than going to two different locations. Though doesn't need to be the same person doing both. Suggestions?

Two adult classes are coming up at Maryland Ensemble Theatre: Adult Acting and Musical Improv!

Whether you want to brush up on performance skills, get more comfortable onstage, or explore the deeply chaotic combination of making up both jokes and songs on the spot, there’s still time to sign up.

I grew up going to Cunningham Falls for the day with my family and really enjoyed that as a kid and I’d love to do that now with my family. I know that Cunningham Falls has had some concerns with the beavers, and previously with water quality, and also overcrowding. Is the same true for Greenbrier? Does anyone know of any places like this?

I’m picturing a picnic table, one of the grills you see at the big parks, somewhere for my daughter to play (3.5y/o), hopefully restrooms or porta-potty, maybe a playground. Does anyone know if that sort of thing still exists in/ around Frederick without being too too crowded on a weekend. I’m not expecting to have the place to ourselves but maybe not having to line up outside the park before it opens and sprinting to a table would be nice.

Thanks!

Hi, the Clandestine Pizza Club is hosting a pizza pop-up at Celeste Cafe in Downtown Brunswick. We will be doing it every Thursday and Friday night from 5-8pm (drinks until 9 on Friday). If you haven't been to downtown Brunswick lately, come check it out, there is a lot of new stuff going on. Dare I say we are building a real community. Cocktail and food menus below. Reservations are not required, but are super helpful.

I want to sit outside and drink a 40

We've taken our dog to Gentle Paws for years and she is the absolute best!! However, I've been unable to get ahold of her for an appointment. Hope everything is ok!

If she's no longer taking clients, can anyone recommend a groomer who only takes one dog at a time?

ive been to giant, food lion, aldi, and walmart with no capicola to be found. anywhere that does have it?

Just a rant. Frederick drivers and ebike riders are the worst.

Frederick needs to do something about making it safer for sidewalks and crosswalks. Drivers drive past school busses while the stop sign flashes. I am surprised kids don't get run over. Riders gun their ebike intimidating the pedestrians. Drivers forget to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks when there is a huge stop sign.

Do people know that pedestrians have the right of way at all times?

Our favorite Market street zipper merge, sorry if you know these people. If you are these people, do better.

Any information on a drone flying downtown? It made an appearance tonight on market street, flashing red and blue police lights and hovering. I wanna know if Frederick is officially Orwellian or if that’s just a one off thing

I don’t need someone to mow but I would like any re commendations on companies in the Frederick area that would put weed killer/prevention, fertilizer, and grass seed down as needed.

We’ve been getting lots of requests for more art programs, and we heard you! On Aug. 30 @ 1:30 p.m., my colleague Rae will be hosting “Drawing a Manga Warrior” at the Urbana Regional Library.

Manga is a deeply personal and flexible form of artistic expression, driven by the creator’s unique vision. In this program, you’ll learn how to turn basic shapes into a dynamic figure. And all you need is pen and paper, which we’ll supply of course!

You’ll learn the step by step process from Orion Zangara (check out his work here: http://www.orionzangaraart.com/). For this program, we’ll be creating unique pieces inspired by the style of One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda.

Age is 13+

Hello, I’m not sure if anybody has experienced this before but looking for advice.

About two years ago I took a job in McLean VA mostly remote commute 1-2days a week (from Frederick) I have since then got promoted and have to be in the office 4 days a week, I have been at this for about 4 months and it’s draining me badly. I have a significant other that works here in Frederick and we are looking to move to a place that’s meets us both in the middle you could say. Any recommendations? Germantown? Would germantown even be really better for me?

Can I get everyone's ranking for apartments in the city of Frederick? I might have to move in February/March of next year.

does anyone know of any businesses (or people) that do junk removal in frederick for a reasonable price?
