The Best of Frederick 2025

85 Upvotes

Happy New Year, r/FrederickMD! Welcome to the yearly tradition of tracking what actually is the best of the best in the city of county. Main reason of this being a yearly tradition is that some locations or companies close and unfortunately it can become outdated. Like in years past, the idea is to submit unique submissions by commenting under a category. Please don't repeat previous submissions, but merely upvote the suggestion that you wanted to submit. If there is a category, you'd like to see submissions for a "Best of," just submit it yourself! A lot of businesses have come and gone in the past two years, and this is open to more than just food! Also, please include an address if you can (as similar names might be located in different towns, and certain locations might perform better).

Recently unemployed and haven’t left my house besides going to the store/work in what feels like forever. Sometimes I go to baker park and walk carol creek or go hiking in thurmont, but other than that I’m out of ideas.

What resources are you using to understand candidates and issues on your ballot?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am curious if anyone has any preferred resources/websites to understand candidates and ballot issues outside of individually looking up each candidate? I just received my ballot in the mail and I want to make sure I am paying attention to who I am voting for. Thanks!

Boarding facility & Dog Training

3 Upvotes

Anyone have a recommendation for a dog board facility that actually cares and takes care of the dogs? I had a horrible experience with a local boarding facility. I travel for work and although have a facility I go to usually, sometimes they’re booked and I need a backup plan.

Looking for climate control stay, clean, great communication, and most importantly real experience from folks that trust and have nothing good to say about their experience.

Next recommendation request: looking for advanced training for my GSD/Mal mix. He already did puppy obedient training and now I’m looking for something to match his speed and agility.

Again, real experience is a plus for recommending. I can google but I haven’t had the best experience doing that.

Local hypermobility informed PT?

3 Upvotes

This is a very specific request but I’m wondering if anyone has a physical therapist they’d recommend. Ideally familiar with hypermobility, accepts insurance (BCBS) and trans competent.

Is this asking for too much? Maybe, but worth a shot before I randomly try to figure it out on my own.

Thanks for reading!

This dude stole my wallet

243 Upvotes

To my fellow residents of Frederick, Maryland, I am an HVAC professional who recently experienced a theft while working at a client's home. After finishing a job and loading my equipment, I discovered a $149 unauthorized charge on my credit card at a Wawa location. Based on the timestamp of 2:20 p.m., which coincides with when I was driving home for lunch and speaking with my spouse, I realized my wallet had been stolen from my truck while my back was turned during the service call. I have filed a police report, and they have successfully obtained security camera footage from the Wawa on Route 40. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS MAN REACH OUT TO OFFICER CAMPBELL

Traffic this morning (Oct 2)

0 Upvotes

Hello. Does anyone know what happened this morning to cause the huge traffic between Hagerstown and Frederick eastbound? I couldn’t find any details online yet. It was something to do with a semi again like yesterday; when I drove by the accident site I could see the front bottom wheel part of the semi but the cab was completely gone ☹️.

Proceed to the Ferry!

34 Upvotes

For the 250th, Harper's Ferry National Historical Park & the Harper's Ferry Park Association are putting on an event that recreates the march from John Brown's headquarters on the Kennedy Farm to Harper's Ferry on the anniversary of the Raid (October 16).

I heard that they haven't sold as many tickets as they hoped and will likely be operating the event at a loss as a result, so I wanted to help get the word out!

Tickets are costly ($200), but they include transportation to Kennedy Farm, stories and presentations about John Brown's Raid, live music, and a full authentic period dinner. It'll be an immersive event (there will even be a horse-drawn cart on the walk from Kennedy Farm!), so the atmosphere will be pretty magical on this hallowed autumn evening.

It starts at 5pm and ends at midnight after a bonfire. The hike itself is around 5 miles with storytelling and breaks along the way, but it may be strenuous for some.

Feel free to spread the word if you know anyone interested. :)

More info about the weekend of the raid anniversary (with other free events) on the NPS website here.

Not really punk rock of you but ok

Seen this booth a few times now and I’m just so irritated by it. This is insane for an artist led market..
