This is pretty cool!

How can we protect ourselves down here being so close to this? It was brought up on this sub a little while ago that so many are Amish in Lancaster county and those are the people coming down every week to the Amish markets. What if we boycott those places until they wisen up and get vaccinated?

What else can we be doing besides getting vaccinated ourselves?

But this happens so much here. Traffic is going a normal speed and then almost instantaneously slows down significantly. I’ve seen traffic go from 65 miles an hour to 25 miles an hour in a matter of seconds many times. Can we stop this? Be considerate. Save our breaks.

Obviously, there’s extreme circumstances, like if deer is in front of you, but 90% of the time I see this on Maryland Highways it is nothing like that.

I’ve been following the 38-year-old candidate since Independence Day, listening as campaigns for Congress in Maryland's 1st District. Through it all, I’ve asked a simple question — can Dan Schwartz win?

If you are looking for a hike with a really cool view close to Baltimore, the King and Queen Seat in Rocks State Park, Jarrettsville, is a great addition to your list. It is a relatively short hike, but you can choose a longer route if you want more of a workout. https://chesapeake-inspired.com/hiking-the-king-and-queen-seat-in-fallston/

With the closing of the Guinness brewery at the end of the month, do you think they’ll put the stuff in their gift shop on deep discounts? Asking because they had a nice football jersey for sale last time I was there, but it was $70. Hoping to hear if maybe they’ll do a “closing” sale or something at a reduce price.

Today’s Lego build challenge prompt was “charm”

But it was pretty muddy. I think we mixed the mud and straw well enough to make bricks when it dries. Great time this weekend. No robots or Storm Troopers seen.

Over 300,000 people in Maryland will face losing their health care on January 1st and the State’s plans on implementing the new work requirement check-in system have yet to be outlined. Certain low income and no income people with medicaid now must prove, through a still unclear renewal process, every 6 months that they have either worked 80 hours or earned $560 dollars a month in order to keep their Medicaid insurance. If you know how convoluted and difficult it already is to deal with getting SNAP, and disability with understaffed and hard to communicate with Department of Human Services, it is frightening to think the health outcome disasters many of us will be facing with these new requirements, which were passed in Trump’s horrific “big beautiful bill”. How is Baltimore City prepared for this? The communications from Wes Moore and MD have been vague and foreboding. As someone with a disability who is unable to work but has trouble navigating SSI because of my disability I am one of the people feeling hopeless with the prospects of dealing with keeping the insurance I have had for 13 years, having to potentially need to find new specialists, to face having to afford medications I need to not die of seizures that cost $600+ a month. If others are facing similar issues please reach out as I think this is a major problem that needs to be looked at more critically.

Im looking for scary attractions or events to do in Maryland, I've went to the laurel haunted house and the Markoff haunted forest and it wasn't very scary what are some recommendations you guys have?

If you’re looking for Baltimore museums beyond the usual recommendations, these three offer something different while still feeling distinctly local: The Baltimore Museum of Industry, The American Visionary Arts Museum, and the Baltimore Streetcar Museum. https://chesapeake-inspired.com/three-baltimore-museums-to-visit-besides-the-aquarium/

This has happened multiple times *after* DEP told this guy to clean up his act.

I hope this farm gets shut down and this guy gets fined millions/goes to jail. Ben Flahart is a complete POS.

Edit to include the key grafs (although the Banner is available thru many libraries)—

A spokesperson for the Maryland Department of the Environment said in a statement Friday that inspectors estimate nearly 11,000 fish died across 25 species, with preliminary findings suggesting the die-off was caused by an overflow at a Kilby Farms manure lagoon.

MDE sued Kilby Farms and an associated real estate company this year over failures to comply with a 2025 settlement to end discharges of foul liquid into Basin Run. The waterway, which is beloved by locals for its population of wild trout, flows west through Cecil County before emptying into the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay.

Visiting this weekend from Florida and want to say this is a beautiful state. Living in the deep south my whole life I was always told that Baltimore was a dangerous place. Now I see that viewpoint is BS. I’m sure you have bad areas like every city but one would think, by the news we get in the south, that it’s a constant war zone. Not true. People are very polite here. Drove from Baltimore down to Drayden. Gorgeous area. Wish I had time for fishing.

OK crab cake (they must’ve mailed it in) - but not as iconic as Pit Beef is unique to Maryland?
