looking for friends/friend group in the area!

hi all, i am looking for some friends in the area! i live an hour away, but i don’t have many friends where i live and honestly i can’t relate to most people where i do, very hyper conservative, older folk area. i am 26, i’m an artist full time and i love it enough to do it while i’m home, i like comics, video games, good tv, cats, spirituality, philosophy, cartoons/some anime, music of all varieties (though i’m not big on metal or country), nature and humor (super big on the last one.) i’m trying to put myself out there, i am pretty lonely and can be shy, but i am trying to break out of that and nurture my interpersonal relationships. i am super left leaning, so if you’re conservative we will not get along. i tried using bumble bff already and everyone wants to clap cheeks, and i am not looking for that. i am looking for friends of all genders and identities, sexualities, i don’t care what you have going on as long as you are a good, drama free person/community! i’m not sure what what my schedule looks like after i start big brother/big sister in my area, but i am mostly free on weekends and after 5 and don’t mind

Anyone have recommendations for chimney inspection/sweeping?

As the title say, just wondering if anyone's had a good experience with one service in particular. We have a wood-burning fireplace and haven't used it since we moved in over the summer, so we have no idea when the chimney was looked at last.

Private Schools in the area

Morning all! We are looking into putting our daughter into a non religious private school next semester. She will be entering the fourth grade. We are currently living on the Eastern Shore and commute daily to DC. I was wondering if anybody had any feedback, good or bad, about ones in the Annapolis area. Thank you!

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who has taken time to give feedback back. Hearing from people with experience has been incredibly helpful and had given us a lot more options than we initially expected!!

Commuting to DC on Metro

I’m a Fed who recently moved to Annapolis. I’m looking at driving to New Carrollton and parking there to ride into DC. But, I leave home later in the morning (around 8:00), so I wouldn’t get to the station until about 8:30. What is the parking like near the station? Would there be any spots left later in the morning? And, if I’m returning after 6:30 pm, is the whole place deserted and possibly unsafe?

Where you there?

Were you near the 400 block of Chester Ave, Annapolis, MD 21403 on or about December 29,2024? Did you witness a brawl or fight that reportedly occurred in the intersection near the Marina? If so or if you are a patron of the neighborhood pub and witnessed how this altercation began, I would like to speak with you.

Thinking of moving to Annapolis…

Hi Everyone! I’m a 40 year old woman and am thinking of moving to Annapolis for a change of pace. I’m currently living in the Northern Virginia area and am tired of the crowds, frenzied drivers and overall scene. What are so things I should know about Annapolis before moving. I have only visited a handful of times for the lovely waterfront views and fabulous seafood. I love hiking, swimming and art. Thanks!

All, I’m looking to add to my ink collection and need your help. I want to get letter work done (nothing too fancy, would like old typewriter type font) and have no idea where I should go or who I should avoid. Any info you have on good or bad tattoo parlors in the area is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Dc Commuters

To any DC commuters: has traffic been considerably worse this week? I can usually get from DTA to the office in an hour. 50 to NY Ave. but have been getting backroads routings this week from the GPS and still taking an hour and a half. The slowdown on 50 is starting way back at Landover road, and it’s not usually slow that far out. Wondering if this is all of the feds going back to the office.

Suggestions of things to do

Looking for suggestions of outdoor things to do in Annapolis in April. I plan on taking my boyfriend down here for his birthday because he said he wants to go to a MD restaurant for soft shell crabs (after googling, I decided on Cantlers because it said they catch them right near the restaurant). I wanted to take him parasailing but the company said they do not operate until May so that idea is out. We will be here for just the day traveling from a neighboring state. Any place within an hour of Annapolis would be good too, we just dont want to get into Baltimore.

We are not interested in museums or historical stuff really. I thought about maybe a tour at the Naval Academy, but he was an Army dude so idk how interesting he might find that hahaha. He's pretty big into trying new restaurants, so I thought about doing Cantlers for lunch and maybe Joss for dinner for sushi, but I'm open to any unique restaurants for either lunch or dinner!

Thanks in advanced for all suggestions!

I represent downtown Annapolis on the city council, and I just kicked off my campaign for a full term. AMA

https://preview.redd.it/isxf5jvo3jfe1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8425e15e1b72761ec3197a9a2019356cb4251489

I've been on the council since being appointed last fall to replace Alderwoman Tierney who retired. Yesterday at McGarvey's, I officially launched my campaign to retain the seat, with endorsements from Congresswoman Elfreth and Ward One Residents Association President Craig Harrison.

I'll be responding to this throughout the day (Monday). Happy to answer your questions about city government or Annapolis in general. You can read more about my campaign at HarryMHuntley.com

Reddit is saying I wrapped up, but I'll keep answering questions throughout the day today. If you have more beyond that, my email is on the website.

Easy 1- & 2-level charging in Annapolis during Legislature?

I need to be in Annapolis a few times in February and only have a small electric car-- I am driving from north Baltimore. Is it possible to arrive in Annapolis on a weekday at 7am and find an available EV charging station at Whitmore or the Gott Lot? Is there a place on the outskirts of Annapolis where I could charge my car all day and get an Uber to the Legislature? Should I just rent a regular car? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Anchoring off the naval academy

Years ago I would regularly anchor overnight off the seawall at the naval academy so I could water taxi into downtown for dinner and drinks then depart in the morning (mooring balls often filled). I was told by harbourmaster in 2019 or so that anchoring overnight was no longer permitted, but i occasionally see boats there. Anyone know what the deal is for a 35 foot sailboat ??

Inspired by a similar post in the DC sub, is there any place in Annapolis where folks regularly sing sea shanties?

Just curious if this is a thing anywhere. Seems like the right place for it, after all.
