Hey! We're looking for wedding venue recommendations. Hoping to keeop it as low as possible, and looking at a place that would allow us to do our own vendors for catering. Ideally, would like to be on the water. Open to anywhere in MD! Any suggestions? Bonus points if it has rooms on site we can spend the night in like a house or hotel.

Hello! Friends and I are planning tailgating an upcoming Navy game at Germantown. Does anyone know what the vibe is like there, and if grilling is allowed??

Hi! Buying tix for a comedy show. Are seats at table 601 good?

Hey all! My wife and I just recently moved to Maryland from New Jersey.

We are both interested in the outdoors, eating, fitness, traveling, and exploring new local towns. I am a mountain biker, and she enjoys running at the gym. I like music and going to concerts. She is a psychologist, and I am a science teacher. We are both easy going and enjoy life. We look to be supportive friends, and find people with similar interests. We are looking for people, or couples who are interested in reciprocal and reliable friendship.

We would be interested in meeting up with couples/ or solo friends that are in their 30's. We have a drink from time to time, but do not smoke.

If we have commonalities, and you are looking to be friends, please drop a line below. I will reach out, send a chat, and hopefully we can meet up for coffee or a meal in person.

Take care, everybody! I hope to hear from people soon!

No relation, just two families who volunteered their dogs for the Annapolis Dogs calendar I used to put out.

Some people think these dogs are adorable and some people think they’re hideous. What I know is that these two were two of the sweetest babies I ever got to hold.

Any recommendations of haunted houses in the area? I prefer outdoors ones versus indoor if possible.

SPCA has one called Forest of Fear this weekend in Annapolis.

Other ones seem farther away like Bennett Curse in Dundalk or Haunted Barn in Crownsville.

Newer to Annapolis and I’m looking to connect with fellow musicians. Any Facebook groups to join?

Thanks!

Looking for a recommendation for a primary care provider/general practitioner in the Annapolis area. Preference would be for a female doctor. Thank you!

Everything from downtown boutiques to budget hotels are 2-5x the cost of the weekend after. They’ve been that way for a while—my visiting family had to choose between Waldorf and BWI weeks ago and I’m just looking now.

Boat shows are over. Biggest thing I can see on event sites is a local artist music festival in Murray Hill. Navy is playing North Texas… I don’t follow college football, but I haven’t really heard of them. Are they the kind of powerhouse that fills all the hotels?

Maybe Renn Faire closing weekend? But we’ve had sold out weekends already… That’s my best guess though.

Edit: okay, I’m going with Navy Homecoming bringing in 5 classes of alums. Weird that I didn’t see that on anything I read about the game, but I guess that’s it.

Has anyone used this service? It’s new and I’m wondering if it’s reliable? Does it fill up? If so, do they get additional buses?

I’m having car issues and can’t make the trip to/from New Carrollton metro over the next few days. I can get to Harry Truman pkwy park n’ ride.

Any info is helpful! Thank you!

I got Naval Bagels yesterday because my kid wanted their sandwich and I was disappointed. It’s just round fluffy bread. Bagels And… does it better. Bagels should have bite and chew. I feel like NB had that a few years ago and somehow lost it. Did anyone else notice a change?

My neighborhood sucks (no trees/everything looks the same)
I’m looking for a good neighborhood to walk with my pups….sidewalks preferred…bonus points if there is a coffee shop I can stop at

Decided to go support a new and upcoming business in the area last night, and settled on Basilwood Kitchen. Quite frankly one of THE best Italian restaurants I’ve been to with also top tier service by the owners. He came out and greeted us, consistently made sure we were good and checked if we needed anything. Hands down 10/10!

If you haven’t had the chance to check it out, please do!

It’s not just that he doesn’t know the law, but how he simply had a toddlers tantrum. An idiot for sure. He may fit better as the Press Secretary lol. I hear there is an opening.

Anne Arundel County (MD) confirmed this week that an unauthorized actor copied files from its network back on August 28. The county still hasn't said whose data, if anyone's, was taken.

Meanwhile, the Rhysida ransomware group claims they stole 2.6TB / 814,500 files and are selling it for 25 BTC (~$2M). The county hasn't confirmed any of this.

Interesting part: the county only confirmed the breach AFTER the ransomware claims surfaced publicly. Timeline:

• Aug 28: County detects "irregular activity"
• Early Oct: Rhysida lists the alleged data for sale
• Oct 15: County publicly confirms

The county also disclosed a separate 2025 incident — notification letters for that one go out starting next week (Oct 19).

For anyone in Anne Arundel County: the county says there's currently "no indication the files have been used to commit fraud," but they're still reviewing what was taken. Worth pulling your free credit reports and watching for phishing referencing county services.

I wrote up a full breakdown of what's confirmed vs claimed and what county residents should do: https://techreview.si/anne-arundel-county-data-breach-maryland/

Hi! Maryland mom here advocating for MORE RECESS TIME for our children!

Currently, most Maryland elementary schools only recommend 20-30 minutes of recess per day. This varies by school and county, with some counties recommending as little as 15 minutes of recess per day.

Children are not designed to sit for long stretches of the school day. Recess gives students an essential opportunity for unstructured play, physical activity, creativity, social connection, and independence.

Research consistently supports the role of recess in children’s physical, social, emotional, and academic well-being. When children have opportunities to move and play throughout the day, they can return to the classroom better prepared to focus and learn.

Join us as we call on policymakers to guarantee Maryland students 60 minutes of recess every school day!

You can help by SIGNING OUR PETITION and following us on Facebook and Instagram!

I noticed this area doesn’t have GoPuff. Are there any other delivery services that will deliver beer?

I'm going to be visiting Annapolis for a weekend every few months for the next few years--and I have to bring our cat (she is actually more important for this visit than I am!).

Does anyone know a VRBO/Air BNB type place that allows cats? She is a very small quiet Russian Blue, so pretty much as non-allergenic as cats can get.

Thanks!

HELLO Annapolis! I finally made my journey down and I spent 10 beautiful days in the area and I loved it so so so so much. Now I need to make it my reality. I am back in VT finishing out a lease until 12/31 but I am willing to pay to hold a spot if the perfect opportunity arises. It’s just me (30s VT gal) and my VERY well trained and well behaved non shedding hypoallergenic love puddle Lola the mini schnauzer (I will post a picture in the comments) my favorite areas I checked out were the quiet outskirty spots but really I am not terrible picky. Kent island was also really beautiful and I would love to live there. If you have any leads for me at all I would be so so so appreciative! I am very low key. I like to hang by the beach, go thrifting, I work primarily in food and beverage with the focus of live music but I am considering getting back into Pharmacy (was a tech for 5 years) THANK YOU!!!!!!!
