Closing on our home in the Watershed area next month and would really like recommendation on child care in the area. My daughter will be 1 by the time I want to get her started after the new year.

If you've grown up around here, you know how hard it can be to create new adult friendships outside of the people you went to school with. Meeting new people is easy, but establishing a relationship with new people is a lot harder.

This summer, we're launching a weekly summer meetup for women near Howard County looking to make new friends (21-35). The premise is: bringing the same group of 12 women together every week—playing games together, watching movies, etc. We will start the summer as strangers and leave as friends! Kind of like summer camp lol.

This is a free event, meeting at the public library.

Last night, sometime between 11:45-11:55 pm I was driving on the BW Parkway. Somewhere around where the parkway crosses Laurel Bowie Rd (sorry I can’t be any more specific, I’m not great at knowing where I am) I saw a woman lying on the side of the road with a man sort of leaning over her. We called 911 and were directed to the Park Police, who let us know they were aware of what they called a “fight in progress.” I checked the police scanners and done some searching this morning, but I haven’t been able to find out anything.

I’m wondering if anyone here was any knowledge, or any recommendations on how to find out about the incident. I’m really hoping the parties involved are okay. Thanks in advance!

There like, 5 police jeeps outside by Livery Ln & Old Lantern Way, idk what that's about 👀

Is there such a place around this area? I have a vehicle I'd like to work on, mainly buffing and sanding and cleaning, for about a month at most. Any garage would work ideally but all I see online are for storage only.

Opening day is Saturday, April 27 @ 8 AM

Hey Im starting a job in DC in a couple weeks but am struggling to find an apartment that is not roach/mice infested. My budget is about 1700 with everything included and I’m not afraid of making a commute into the city.

Right now I have my eyes on the Avondale in Laurel MD and toured the place and it seems nice from the couple minutes I spent in there but you know living somewhere is a whole nother experience. I wanted to know if anyone is familiar with this apartment complex and/or area and can give me their honest opinion?

Also if anyone has any recommendations on what areas to move to in general that’s within my budget and that’s within an hour drive (with traffic) of DC that’ll be highly appreciated!

It’s crunch time for the 2024 Maryland legislation! Please communicate your support for critical bicycling/safety bills to your state senator and delegates via the action at https://waba.org/blog/2024/03/support-pro-bicycling-pro-safety-maryland-legislation/.

We’re working to win favorable committee and floor votes on key bills in advance of the March 18 “crossover” deadline. If a bill hasn’t passed one chamber – the Senate or the House – by Monday, it’s unlikely to advance this year. The way to win votes is for you to get in touch with your representatives in Annapolis. Please act NOW. It will take you just five minutes.

I am considering moving to Laurel and am looking for some "luxury" apartment suggestions. Looking for a 1 bedroom, would like to keep rent under 2,100 if possible. In unit washer/dryer is a necessity. I will be living alone so safety is also very important too.

Thanks!

I have a Howard County band. We have and upcoming competition and are trying to find rehearsal space. I know it's kind of a bold to search for free rehearsal space but we're a bunch of high school students that are (highkey) broke. Idk if the public libraries or other community spaces offer anything. Any help finding a space would be greatly appreciated!!!

I’m not sure how widespread it is, but there’s a Verizon FIOS outage in Laurel at least. The Verizon customer service rep with whom I spoke said it was due to a cut wire and should be restored by around 4:00 PM on the 21st.

EDIT: It came back around 9:00 PM on the 20th, about 19 hours ahead of estimate, meaning they fixed it after dark in the cold. Good job, Verizon!

This is my first good snow since I moved to Laurel. Are there any good sledding hills in Laurel?

I'm planning a day outdoors and I need some assistance. Which local park is the best for a peaceful stroll or the ideal picnic?

Does anyone know why the Exxon on Route 1 across from CVS and Five Guys has its gas pumps wrapped in yellow tape? It has been that way for at least a couple of days.
