Early voting opened today and runs through Thursday 10/29/26. I don’t care who you vote for (okay, I do, but that’s not the point of this post), just do some (any) research and make a plan to get to the polls. Put a reminder on your phone or whatever it takes. Less than 30% of eligible voters turned out in the primary. Less than 50% turned out in the last midterm general election. Just think about the amount of voter power left on the table. Guilt your friends and family into heading to the polls.

Not registered or literally can’t get there in the next week or on election day? You can still register to vote or request a mail in ballot!

This year, the Southern Maryland Film Festival will be having a "Best of the Fest". This is a selection of films from the past ten years of the festival. These are films that are about, or filmed in southern Maryland, or made by local filmmakers.

The festival will be happening at RC Theatres’ Lexington Exchange Movies 12, 44800 Oak Crest Dr, California, MD 20619, on Saturday, November 14, starting at 1:00 pm. Tickets are in three 2-hour blocks divided by theme: Family Fun (1:00), Monsters & Mayhem (3:30) and Fact & Fantasy (6:00). Tickets will be $7.50 per block, per person, regardless of age, or length of movie block.

This Saturday, there is going to be a cute pet event at the Leonardtown Library! Leashed pets are allowed outside (as always). There will be family friendly events all day long, and pets are all encouraged to come to the parade to wrap out the day: Howl-O-Ween.

This is for adults too! Please, please come to the bad poetry contest. We have fun prizes!

I would like to meet with a fee-only financial advisor in Southern Maryland to discuss retirement planning. I am a federal employee planning to retire in about 15 months, so an expert in FERS and TSP would be great. Recommendations appreciated.

A few months ago I was in the CVS LaPlata drive thru and witnessed a very slow motion accident of a vehicle backing into a 80s model pick-up truck. The driver of the pick-up was frustrated (understandable) and yelled along the lines of "What are you doing?" to the older gentlemen that reversed into him. No damage reportable damage and no cops called, we moved along to do our respective pick-ups.

October 19th, the reason this is of note, my family member was picking up a script on my behalf. Same deal. In the pick up line at the CVS LaPlata, car starts backing up to hit her front bumper. She had time and distance to exit the car as the driver (older guy 60-70s) was closing the distance and not stopping with a horn alert. The guy stops, seems confused, and mutters about exiting the line to park and go inside.

Driver seemed coordinated while driving around to park.

One time is an accident, 2 times same location is suspicious.

Anyone else experience this driver reversing into cars while waiting in drive thru line?

I keep searching Maps and social media, but for stylists who specialize in white lady hair it's wall-to-wall images of blowouts and ombre highlights. I want a razorcut mixie and I don't want it to be a three-hour round trip to NOVA, DC, or Annapolis. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Has anyone in Charles County built or had a detached garage built? I’m trying to decide between a pole barn, metal garage, or traditional wood-framed garage.

Curious what everyone went with, what it cost, and how the permitting process was with the county. Any recommendations for local builders would be appreciated!

Tomorrow! Find us at Trunk or Treat at Juice Buzz, 10am–1pm. We’re bringing our favorite not-too-scary Halloween picture books plus some goodies. 🎃

We've got a milestone birthday coming up and I'm looking for someone local who can print and apply some vinyl to 3 or 4 t-shirts.

Also looking for a savvy someone with a Cricut to make some party hats and maybe a bunting banner.

We live in central St. Mary's. TIA!

Hello everyone,

I'm putting out this call I'm looking for my fellow graduates from Great Mills high School from the class of 2007.

Our 20th graduation anniversary is coming up and I'm trying to reconnect with folks, see if we can at least reach out to each other and know what's happening.

Times have been rough. I'm sure people have had many trevails. If you are one of those people or you know one if you could ask them to send me a DM, so we can verify each other obviously I'm not going to ask people to randomly post who they are on the internet.

I really do hope to hear from some of y'all. And there are no hard feelings, because it was 20 years ago for God's sake.

Talk and chill with others people from Baltimore County and beyond today when you join! [18+]

I'm a 22 year old autistic man who's been dealing with a period of severe loneliness because I have nobody to share my hobby of aviation with in the SOMD region. I've only ever attended one aviation related group, but that was 70 miles away at Dulles and hasn't met up since May. I've spent hours combing over the internet looking for any sort of aviation related club or even any sort of social club at all for people my age, and for the life of me I can't find a single damn thing. It's maddening.

Hello!
Can anyone provide recommendations for realtors that specialize in SOMD? I’m not from the area any good recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Every GOP candidate showed up at last night's District 29 LWV forum EXCEPT Senator Jack Bailey.

You may disagree with your local leadership at times, but shouldn't you want them to at least engage with you and work to learn from your perspective? Politicians are not nobility and they should stop acting like they are.

I'm looking to hear from anyone who's had serious issues with Judge J. David Densford in St. Mary's County Circuit Court.

I've spent years dealing with this judge in a custody case, and some of his decisions put my child in extremely dangerous situations. What's even more concerning is that he later vehemently denied making one of those decisions.

I'm currently gathering transcripts and other court records to file a formal complaint with the Maryland Commission on Judicial Disabilities.

I'm curious whether others have had similar experiences, especially involving child safety, questionable conduct, or statements that contradict the court record.

If you've experienced something similar and would be interested in filing your own complaint around the same time, please reach out. I'm hoping to connect with others who have legitimate, documented concerns.

I'm not looking for people who are simply unhappy with a ruling. I'm looking for people who believe this judge's conduct genuinely warrants investigation.

Hi friends.

Does anyone know of any pregnancy loss support groups in Charles or St. Mary’s Counties?

Wish I didn’t need one 🙃

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I (21M) moved to the Pax River area a few months ago and I’m looking for someone to play tennis with. I’m in the California area and looking for someone to hit around with consistently (say once or twice a week) and get back into the game.

I’m a somewhat decent recreational player (maybe a 3.0-3.5 UTR on a good day), but I’m happy to play with any skill levels, as I haven’t found any clubs down here. If you’re interested feel free to message me! :)
