Beautiful city tucked in between Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Small town charm, excellent eateries, world class shopping.

Hagerstown, MD:

Hagerstown was founded in 1762 by Jonathan Hager, a gunsmith, fur trader, farmer and politician. After settling he quickly increased his wealth and expanded his land holdings acquiring over 10,000 acres which he used to lay out plans for the town. It was originally named Elizabethtowne, in honor of his wife, but was later changed to Hagerstown in his honor.

Hagerstown was situated at the crossroads of the “Warrior Trading Path,” the Eastern Native American North / South Trading Route, which is modern day Route 11 and the First National Road, now Route 40. The town grew quickly and was a prized location for transportation of all kinds from covered wagon to nearby river navigation.

The nickname “Hub City” comes from the way all the railroad lines running into Hagerstown resembled the spokes of a wagon wheel on a map.

Cheap and reliable tire alignment and balancing in Hagerstown? The prices these people charge are unreal nowadays.

Meritus Emergency Room

Looking at nursing jobs in the Emergency Room at Meritus but heard mixed things about the nurses and doctors working in the department. Nurses sleeping with other nurses or doctors. I have also heard that a lot travel nurses like to come in and out of working at Meritus. Any thoughts or other concerns?

Old Hagerstown Road in Middletown

Anyone know the history?

I understand the location relative to Old National Rd, but it’s such a short road and so far from Hagerstown it intrigues me.

People in Middletown recognize Hagerstown, people in Frederick act like H-town doesn’t exist. Funny paradigm to me.

Looking to move in for internship

Hi everyone!

I’ll be moving to Hagerstown soon for an internship and wanted to get some local insights about the area. Specifically, I’d like to know: 1. How safe is Hagerstown overall? 2. Are there any neighborhoods or areas I should avoid? 3. Any recommendations for good, affordable places to look for rentals usually fellow working people or students?

I’d really appreciate any tips or advice from those familiar with the town. Thank you in advance!

Highway 40: r/driving

Hey driving assholes on highway 40! If you don’t want to yield (when you are supposed to) and yearn to cut off , I beg you to accelerate your speed immediately after making that nasty behavior. It is not easy to brake the car when going up/ down a steep hill and you just suddenly come out of from nowhere. It is a highway and public road, not your house. Imagine that people have to brake hard just because you need to slow down to put some makeup on your face or play with your phone after you cut others off. And especially if you are not able to drive fast, please YIELD!

Lenox Distribution Store?

I’m hoping to revive a family tradition of shopping for Lenox ornaments around the holidays. We used to drive to the Queenstown outlets to buy ornaments and have seafood for lunch. Now that the Lenox stores have closed we shop online. My girls have both mentioned they miss going out to look for ornaments. They probably just miss the food. LOL Does anyone know if the Lenox Distribution place has a store?

Outlets

Anyone else think it’s time for the outlets to just close up I mean most of the shops are gone by now. Don’t know what they can put there as long as it isn’t a Sheetz or more houses. Wouldn’t mind a Costco,wegmans or some kind of other grocery option.
