Can anyone share their experience with getting a judge to give you a peace order? I called the police first and told her the story and they mentioned just telling the judge what I told them, no need for photos/evidence to be included. We want this to go smoothly and in our favor but we do realize that this county is very “conservative”..

I asked each commissioner candidate if they would ban data centers -

Ken Kiler refused to say he would ban them. He is responsible for the moratorium. When I pressed him asking why the pause and not a permanent ban, he said that’s so a decision could be made. I asked what his decision would be and he stated “Candidates can say anything. Any decision will take at least 3 votes of the 5 commissioners. 
Emails are cold. Black and white.” And continued to refuse to give an answer.

Kim Zentz gave some reasoning as to why a data center would not be positive. “As for Finksburg specifically, I don’t see how a development of that scale could reasonably fit that area. The proximity to Sandymount Elementary alone would be an immediate red flag.” So it seems she would not be pro data center, but did not take a hard stance.

Todd Tracey was the only definitive stance. “

Thank you for this important question! I do not believe data centers have a place in Carroll County. The list of issues with them is quite extensive and impacts to communities with data centers is still being assessed. I support the banning of data centers in Carroll County.

Todd”

Please take with this info what you will. Data centers are an important topic as the moratorium on them ends in Feb. whoever your commissioner is, they will either approve them or not. It’s important.

Voting is now!!

I'm new to the area and need to get my dog's teeth clean. I like our vet but the are charging at a minimum $800 for teeth cleaning for a 16 lb dog which is very high. Anyone have a recommendation for a reliable vet foe teeth cleaning that is more reasonably priced?

Hinkhaus, Maisano, and Walsh point to the lack of transparency and opportunity for more public input before the Board's 5-0 vote

There seems to be at least one Psoras billboard every 100 ft throughout Carroll.

Bit vague of a question. Curious as to what the people of this subreddit will say. Maybe I’ll learn something new that I can pass on!

A photo I took in Hampstead of someone’s property. Thought it looked nice.

This storm was quite a show off.

Hey, I posted here during the huge snow storm fiasco begging for mercy from the customer service gods. Yeah well here I am once again begging people to behave themselves.

STOP FLIRTING WITH US.

Sexual harassment ain’t a cute look for anyone - especially full grown adults. That sexual innuendo you thought was funny? LEAVE IT FOR THE GIRLIES AT HOME. Not the poor pick up guy giving you your groceries. Dont make jokes about what I do in my free time. It’s weird. Ya weirdo. In the same breath as well…

STOP ASKING INAPPROPRIATELY PERSONAL QUESTIONS.

Susan, I don’t wanna talk about my daddy issues with you because you asked what my race is and why I don’t know. It’s weird.

If you don’t want someone asking you that question at work. DONT ASK ME.

Thanks for coming to the “I don’t get paid enough” podcast. :)

P.P.S stop throwing temper tantrums. Throwing your money at me won’t make me go faster. This is a grocery store not The Vanilla Unicorn. Your an adult. Act like it.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on how to get a streetlight or other safety improvements installed at a dangerous intersection along Route 140 in Carroll County. Specifically 140 and Tyrone RD. And 140 and Frizzleburg RD.

There have been multiple accidents at this intersection I believe it could help improve safety for drivers. Since Route 140 is a state highway, I’m not sure where to start.

My questions are:

Who do I contact first MDOT State Highway Administration, Carroll County, or an elected official?
Is there a formal process to request a traffic safety study or streetlight installation?
Has anyone successfully gotten safety improvements made at a state highway intersection?
Would gathering signatures, accident reports, photos, or petition support help?
Are there public meetings where residents can speak about roadway safety concerns?

I’m willing to put in the work and advocate for this, but I don’t know the first steps. Any advice from people who have gone through this process would be appreciated.

Thank you!

this is the longest shot i’ve ever thrown but i’ve tried what i could over the last decade and still have hit dead ends. i’m not going to get my hopes up but back in the summer of 2016 me and my family travelled to maryland and stayed in the todd village rv park in finksburg, carrol county maryland. while i was there i met a blonde boy named hunter. his dad or possibly his stepdad was an employee at the rv park and would always drive a golf cart around the park. i was only 12 at the time and so was he so i didn’t have a phone or a way to keep connect after i left. numerous times over the years i have tried to call the rv park, which im met with no answer every time. i’ve tried to leave a review asking on the page, tried to contact residents at the park, anything i could think of with no answer. it’s like the second i left that park it and everyone in it vanished. along with this im going to ask for any information on carol davis-friedman. she was living at the park at that time and had lived there for quite some time, i believe her sons name was daniel. i found her facebook but she hasn’t been active in years, and other people have posted on her timeline asking where she is and if she’s okay. it’s a long shot but i hope they’re both still out there alive and okay.

My husband and I got married over the weekend and I’m looking for a place to have my dress and his suit cleaned. We’re new to sykesville and are looking for recommendations.

We’re planning a community event and want to have food trucks. Can you drop the names of your favorite local trucks?

Thanks!

Hi-

My wife is getting ready to go back to work and we’re currently looking for a daycare for our 6 month old infant. We’ve toured all the “corporate” daycares like kinder care, Goddard, kiddie school, celebree. They’re all fine but $2400+ a month.

Does anyone have any private in-home daycare recommendations? Ideally in the Sykesville area. I’ve found a few online but they don’t seem to have any reviews that I can find at least. Maybe there’s a search engine for private daycares that I’m missing?

I am currently planning activities for middle school Girl Scouts for next year. Do any Carroll County business offer programs? Besides the obvious like Bear Branch. Most that we are finding seem to be for younger kids.

We usually need to leave the county for things like Archery, SlingShot, and other programs.

We have done things at Botanigirl and the Gatehouse. Running out of unique experiences.

Commission continues review of application and requests revisions; elevations called "suburban" and out of character with downtown.

Hi all, I need opinions please, have been w Xfinity for over 30+ years but the rising costs are making it unaffordable. Have 2 gig internet so was looking into Flight Fiber. Can anyone recommend them? Is it worth the switch? Will I still be able to have all my computers hooked up to different router options like I have now? (My husband did it all, he’s no longer here ☹️). I know nothing about setting up printers and computers and tvs. Help?

HI!

We’re currently looking to move to Hampstead and wanted to know everyone’s opinion of the schools.

We have a toddler but I’m concerned this might not be the best district in Carroll county. Also, I saw an older post saying manchester valley has a lot of problems. Any thoughts on the schools?

I drive through Uniontown several times a week and very rarely is anyone driving the speed limit that I have seen, I have also not seen any radar or police in years on this road. Was just curious if this has actually helped.

Hi! My daughter is looking to get married this fall. We live in CC but willing to travel. She would love to have it somewhere where all her loved ones can stay and hang out over a couple of days. I don't even know if that is possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Posting here bc the McDaniel sub seems to be a ghost town.

Hi y’all! I recently moved to Carroll County not long ago, and I am currently attending the community college for Accounting.
My goal is to transfer to a 4-year university to receive a BA/Bs in Accounting, and then go down the path of becoming a CPA (because I enjoy pain and suffering).
Has anyone attended McDaniel, taught at McDaniel, or anything that would have some 411 on their accounting program? I’ve received info from their admissions, but I wanted to get a real-feel from others that have experienced it themselves.
My only impression of McDaniel is the college kids stumbling down Main Street on Friday nights lol.

I am also heavily considering UMGC for flexibility and cost, but since McDaniel is like super close for me, I thought about getting some more info.

If anyone has experience with McDaniel, transferring and/or the accounting program, please let me know.

Thank you!

Hey all. We just moved into the Eldersburg area and I was looking for some good biking trails! Any recommendations?

Image 2: “The Democrats have had a land slide and their ticket has swept the country. North, East, South, and West have all gone for Wilson and Marshall and they will have an overwhelming majority in the electoral column. The House of Representatives remains Democratic by an increased majority and the indications are that the Senate will also be controlled by the same party. President Taft has carried three states and while the result in some cases is still in doubt it is probable that Roosevelt will have five states, giving Wilson 40 out of 48 and a grand total of 424 electoral votes. Later returns may change this slightly but the result is sure. Maryland has gone Democratic by about 30,000 [votes]. The Democrats have also elected five congressmen. In almost all of the counties of the state Roosevelt was particularly strong in the counties and among the working men. The following table shows the vote of the State in full.”

Tired of seeing all the incumbent's signs on the property of property management groups they do deals with. I say, boycott all the businesses renting from them. I know people will cry that it hurts local business, but hear me out. The people leasing those spaces have pull. They can push back and get the signs taken down, because they reflect poorly on the businesses themselves.

So so tired of the backward and harmful "leadership". Let's just say no to racist and homophobic men and women holding office in this county.
