Hi everyone,

I’m seeking recommendations for trustworthy auto shops that can diagnose and/or replace the catalytic converter on my 2013 Ford Taurus 3.5L. Any help is appreciated.

Selling shirts and hats at pop ups

I'm looking to do some pop ups in the area. I sell Pan African and Pro Black shirts and hats. Can you tell me a good marketplace or pop up spot for me?

4657 Running Deer Way Bowie MD 20720

Hello! I wanted to post because I saw this house was up for sale and I wanted to warn the future buyer of the neighbors. The one on the right smokes cigarettes all day and it permeates into this house. They also have so many people living there. They own guns and have shot into this house before “by accident.” They said the little girl was playing with it both times. Swat and cops come for them a lot in the middle of the night. The list goes on.

Hi! Moved to the area. I’d love to hear the good and bad of Bowie high school as well as Benjamin tasker middle.

I have kids (mixed and white) and the diversity is great. The area is beautiful and we love the neighborhoods. I have been researching the highschool for the future and definitely coming across too many mixed reviews. Thoughts and opinions are welcome.

Looking for previous dog owners - Osita surrendered in 2013

Osita (name as told to us) was surrendered ~2013 to the PG county shelter and we subsequently adopted her. We are looking for any potential pictures of her when she was a puppy.

Black and white female that had her ears cropped and potentially tail docked.

I know it’s a long shot, thanks. Hoping the name wasn’t given by the shelter, but maybe the rest of the description is enough either way…

dash & bodycams of Bowie cop that shot his gun last month

“It was at this moment, he knew he fucked up” when the cop starts screaming his apologies. Sounded like he thought the guy had a gun. there just HAS TO BE a big payday coming.

Why Not Just Copy Fsirfax Or MoCo?

We have worse safety than both, worse schools higher taxes, worse walkablity, why don't we just legit copy our neighbors and do what they do🤔

Voting: Ballot Bond Issues

Hi there. First time voting in MD, curious what the general consensus is on some of the bond issues on this year's ballot. Does PG county have a history of using their money appropriately? Are these issues that will raise taxes ultimately? Thanks for any input!

Working for PG County Government

Hi there!! My colleague and I confided in each other we are sick of our current jobs. So unbeknownst to each other we applied for jobs with the county government. We both have no idea of the benefits or conditions, but are almost willing to take the risk and leave if we get the jobs. She was called for an interview on Tuesday and I was called on Wednesday (while at work lol). Does anyone have any feedback? Looking for more positive feedback than negative… all jobs have issues. One of the major things we are curious about are the benefits. Thanks!!

What can be done to bring PG back?

Just seen two businesses broken into at woodmore town center Arby's and Jersey Mike's. I hate to accept that this county was once the most influential Prominent minority county in the USA to where we are now.

Synagogues in PG County?

Subject: Synagogues in dc

Hi, I just moved back to the area and am about to start looking for a synagogue. I'm hoping for some information on the community.

I am looking for a conservative shul. My previous synagogue was relatively diverse, and I'm hoping to find something similar here in dc. Just learning the area so any help is appreciated.

Not torn but disappointed

This is my personal rant because there probably aren’t a lot of people in my situation. My vote will begrudgingly go to Alsobrooks because I don’t believe sending Hogan to the Senate is in Maryland’s or the Nation’s best interest.

I also have personal experience dealing with Alsobrooks her office and departments under her charge sweeping the needs of a constituent to the wayside, being told multiple times someone from senior management would get in touch with me which never happened. It took seven years to act.

Not the representation I want for Maryland, but what choice do I have?

Thanks for listening.

Security Camera Suggestions

As the title says, I’m looking for some security camera suggestions, preferably wireless, for my home. With all the car jacking, broken into cars and then now cars being set on fire…I think I can’t continue without setting up some security cameras. This area is becoming terrible or is worsening.

Question about addressing housing code violation

In August, we were slapped with a housing code violation (Section 13-118(a); International Property Maintenance Code (2018) Section 302.1) for open storage of building materials with the "corrective action required: remove openly stored items from exterior of property," and nothing provided under "details of violation." After receiving the violation I contacted the inspector to get details, and he explained we had some plywood, plexiglass, and lumber in the yard that needed to be removed. We busted our butts to rectify the issue before the reinspection date. The lumber went to rebuilding our fence, the downed trees were chipped into mulch, and the spurious sheets of plywood, plexiglass, and wooden pallets were relocated to storage sheds, among other things.

Today we were hit with a fine. If we were in violation, I'll pay the fine. However, to the best of our knowledge, based on the vague wording of the citation, we performed the appropriate corrective actions. I can't pay a $300 fine once a month because they don't provide enough details to actually remedy the situation. And there's nothing I want more than to be compliant.

The reinspection date was listed as Sept 9, so we worked hard to have everything cleaned up by then. A couple weeks ago my husband took down our neighbor's bushes (as their request), and those were sitting in the yard until he could dispose of them. The inspection date listed on the fine is Oct 1, so the inspector would have seen those bushes that were not included in the initial violation. Maybe that's what we're being hit for? Maybe we rectified things from the initial citation but are now under extra close scrutiny?

I've submitted an appeal. I'm hoping we can at least get a hearing to figure out what we did wrong. (Is it our tomato trellis? Garden beds? Lawn ornaments?) I'm wondering if anyone has similar experience or has successfully appealed a violation. We live in a neighborhood of single family homes each with about 0.5 acre lots.
