I know I’m getting older but…..30 years ago my husband and I would often stop in Martinsburg, WV after visiting a friend in Winchester (we live in Delaware and would take the long way home). A few times we stopped at this building that I’m pretty sure was in a down town area. It was very big, 2 or 3 stories tall (and old) and had several unique type shops in it. I haven’t been to Martinsburg in YEARS and was going to take my kids for a mini Thanksgiving trip. I thought they would love to go to this place my husband and I used to visit when we were younger (my husband passed away 3 years ago), however I can’t find it anywhere on any sites. Am I thinking of the wrong town? I could have SWORE it was in Martinsburg!!! We were not a very well travelled couple and have only visited a few places so I generally remember where I was when we visited places and what we did.

I (34F) am looking for a female tattoo artist who can do a large black/grey piece (potentially a sleeve if we can work around some existing pieces) with Medusa being the center of the design. Doesn’t have to be in Martinsburg, but that’d be nice.

Grasping for straws in the dark or some such metaphor -

Was anyone else shocked (but not surprised) when Martinsburg North Middle School had to be placed under emergency status earlier this year, for, among other reasons, unrestrained bullying and administrative neglect. I reached out to Berkeley County Schools and let them know that nothing has changed at that school in over 30 years, and attempted to get them to correct an unjust error which occurred to me.

School should be a safe place to learn, and the students should be able to trust their teachers and administrators. In my case, I worked with an administrator to address bullying for over two years. One morning in my 8th grade, I was assaulted in the hallway in front of other students. I was in a ball on the ground while the bully was on top of me, performing an MMA 'ground and pound.' This was declared fighting, and I was suspended. I never had any prior disciplinary record, and indeed I had reached out to the administration to let them know I was being bullied pretty much daily.

The administrator asked me to help him combat bullying and then lumped me in with the bullies, I suppose because he didn't want to listen to me telling him how awful conditions were in the school he was supposed to be overseeing. I'm curious if anyone else had a similar experience with administrators during that time period.

If you were a student at North Middle in the 1990s, reach out to Berkeley County Schools and former North Middle administrators, and let them know that administrative decisions made during that time period should be taken under reconsideration due to administrative apathy and neglect.

Does anyone know a good place to take a 2.5 year old for a haircut? In our previous town we had a place with like cars and planes the kids sat in during the cut and they could play with toys while the stylist did their thing. Our son is terrified of haircuts (both clippers and scissors) so the distractions and kid-friendly environment helped.

Ok. Not actually, however incompetence.

Myself, and many others were not aware that the voting districts have changed. New registration cards were not sent out before the preceeding election. On top of that, the website on voting locations is wrong and out of date.

If you are not in the district system, do not vote provisional. Find out which district you are supposed to be in and vote there.

Do not let weaponized incompetence win the day.

We just moved here and lo and behold my dog broke one of her teeth so now she’s going to need it taken out. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good vet? I’ve heard good things about Shenandoah, but I’ve also heard they’re pricey. My animals are my children, so if pricey is the way to go, I’ll do it

According to the poll workers, yesterday there was a 2-hour wait in line to cast a vote at the registrar's office. Today, however, was a breeze. My wife and I just walked right in and were able to vote immediately, which was a relief since she's on crutches and walking/standing are really hard on her right now.

The poll workers were a hoot -- dressed in everything from a tux to a colonial outfit. They rang a bell every time there was a first-time voter and it rang three times while I was there casting my ballot.

GO VOTE!

Will be in town this weekend and looking for a decent dinner spot and place to grab some beers with decent music/people watching.

Hi all! My husband and I are relocating to Martinsburg early next year due to work, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations/opinions on either of the following—rental communities to check out (or avoid! 😂), and restaurants/bars in the area. We like local! Fun breweries, a cool hole-in-the-wall, that sort of thing… we’ll need a new watering hole.

Thanks for any info!

Hi Everyone

I was interested in creating an archive for the Martinsburg Mall, any info would be useful, stores in the Mall, photos, videos, or anything related.

Thanks :)

Hey are there any indoor basketball courts open past 5pm around here or in any surrounding cities/towns?

Let’s help get this coward cocksucker a long term stay at the ERJ

She did this Bunnicula for me today and she did an incredible job. Would definitely recommend for other work.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice from those currently living in the Martinsburg area. I've visited several builders, and two that stood out to me are K. Hovnanian and DRB, both located in Martinsburg. Does anyone here live near K. Hovnanian at Liberty Run? If so, do you hear the train behind the neighborhood? For those living in Martinsburg Station (your neighborhood is beautiful), are the HOA fees very high? Also, how friendly are the people in the area?

Noticed this, wondered why. I’m sure someone knows why. I thought the place was just closed period.

Found a cat who had been hanging around our parking lot for the past week or so near Woodbury Ave. He followed maintenance into our apartment yesterday, so we took him to the vet where they found a chip but it wasn’t registered. He is extremely affectionate and we strongly believe he has a family, but the vet said it sounds like he was abandoned.

If this is your cat or someone you know, please dm me with proof! Otherwise, we’ve got a new cat. 😉

A family member was looking at a townhouse located on Desota Way in Martinsburg. Can anyone tell me if it’s a safe area? Thanks.

Be sure to contact the Berkeley county sheriffs department if you see this piece of shit and know where he is. He’s a repeat domestic abuser that chooses not to go to court for his charges because he’s a fucking coward. Let’s get him back in for a long-term stay at the Eastern regional jail.

Need some electrical troubleshooting & repair of a 1994 Ford F150 truck.  Problems include: gas gauges, horn, cruise control, radio, & a/c not working properly.   Any recommendations for a repair shop?

Be sure to contact the Berkeley County Sherrif’s department if you see this domestic abusing piece of shit somewhere. This pile of dog shit needs to take up a lot of g term residence in the ERJ.
