Wondering if there is a local woodworker who could help me out or even a makerspace. My planer is only 13” and I have some 16 inch stock that needs flattened. Thanks!

Hello!! My partner and I are looking to move to the Eastern Panhandle next June and I’ve been scouting apartments and townhomes to rent but it looks like there are never any options. I know we have time but it’s a little worrying consistently not seeing anything. We are looking for something close to Bunker Hill where her family lives, we are both in early 20s and want to be somewhere that we can make friends since the whole area is entirely new to us. It looks like sheperdstown would be the most promising since it’s close to BH and a college town but there’s no options for living that aren’t $1500+. We live in a studio now and plan on living in a van in the future so we aren’t too concerned about apartment size. Any recommendations? Should I be getting on any waitlists ??

Hello everyone,

This is my first year in over 40 years to witness Christmas light covered cars here in Jefferson County (outside of a Christmas parade). They're very pretty, but they also remind me of the Purge movies. I saw two of them just this evening. A little SUV in Ranson partially covered and illuminated getting onto RT 9. And another sedan completely covered and not illuminated on Washington St. Are these illuminated car Christmas lights legal in WV? I kind of hope so, but I also don't want them to present any danger to themselves or others. This new trend must've been trending for awhile in the places people moved from to live here, that's all I can figure. Or I just haven't been very observant within my own county the past few years. What do you all think of them?

Any spots in the area to have a fire? Preferably along the river but open to anything.

Anyone live in those apartments? How do you like it? Looking for a different spot to rent here in the next couple of months.

Hi Everyone, I am moving to Charles Town in January and am looking to hear about local spots. Restaurants, butchers, grocery, hobby shops, hardware, etc. I'm very much looking forward to hearing and visiting the must-go places the area has to offer. Appreciate your time!

Hello everyone,

The mod team has decided to try out a weekly scheduled post ( Mondays at midnight ) for anyone to add events in and around the EP that they're aware of. We're also encouraging businesses to post their social and themed events here.

This is an invitation for anyone in the community to post any events they know of happening this week, or to contribute to editing the scheduled post itself, as I'm most definitely not a wordsmith.

The post that will be going out is below.

new to the area and looking to meet people my age! which bars are we hanging out at on the weekends?!

I’m a early 20s single male looking to meet women of any age. What is the best place to meet them?

Precinct 46 is voting at Grace Church on Novak Drive, NOT the airfield. There’s also apparently some incorrect signs at the airfield and incorrect information on the county website.

Comcast is charging us $141/month for 300 Mbps download + a landline that's crappy when everything is working and dead whenever the internet or electricity is out. We're considering Starlink, but want to be sure it can handle video conferencing in the EP. We work from home and Zoom regularly.

Anyone got experience with this?

Hey Reddit,

I’m dealing with an HVAC system that’s 12 years old. It’s working perfectly fine, but every technician that’s come to inspect it has suggested I replace the whole unit. I’ve had several opinions over the years, and they all seem to say the same thing, even though the system is functioning without issues.

I’m looking for an honest HVAC company that can give me a second opinion – ideally one that won’t try to sell me a new unit if it’s not actually necessary. I just want to make sure I’m not being pushed into an expensive replacement when the system still works well.

I’m located in Jefferson County but I’m open to any recommendations for companies in surrounding areas who are known for being trustworthy and upfront.

Appreciate any advice or suggestions!

Great Cacapon WV Question Please Remove if not allowed, I used to live in Great Cacapon WV years ago and there was this old burnt up house that my friends and I would go into and explore. This house was on what's now Detour Rd. It was kind of hidden if i'm remembering correctly. I've always been interested in the history of this house it seemed super old at the least 25yrs possibly even 50. They have now built a new house on the property but originally the house looked untouched except for it being burnt up. There was a barn on this property as well. Does anyone have any information on this house, what happened, why did the people just up and leave everything? Thanks

edit: specifically for adults with no kids

Trying to make some new friends that like anime. Anyone in the area interested in going to see it.

Hi all! I am happy to say I just bought a place in Hedgesville, WV! Now I have to negotiate moving cross country in the winter🤣

My big question is where would you recommend buying a car from in this area? I preference would be a couple year old certified new car with a warranty, but I might just buy a new one. Martinsburg is very close by, but I have Winchester, VA and Hagerstown, MD very close by also. It would be ideal if they were a large place that you can deal with over the internet.

Is there any issue buying the car out in Maryland or Virginia if you are living in West Virginia?

Also, would I have to have a West Virginia driver’s license before I buy the car?

Any other important items to know about buying a car here?

Thanks so much and I can’t believe my dream of coming to West Virginia has finally come true!!! ❤️WV

Hey all

Moved here recently and am struggling to find anything that goes on in the evenings that people recommend going to. I am really down for anything. Bars, clubs, music whatever. I like alternative music, metal, punk, goth, rock, edm etc I really don’t care for older dudes playing acoustic songs everyone knows the words to. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know. Very much willing to drive or go the distance to get somewhere. I’m 25 years old and prefer a younger crowd similar in age to me, college crowd is totally fine

Hello! Just moved here not too long ago. I want to send a gift basket back home with stuff from WV that family would enjoy. What are some things that you all include and from where? (It can literally be anything!) I live near Harpers Ferry, WV, for reference. Thank you for any advice that you might have!

Hi, I'm a WVU student and I'm doing research for my English class, if you have the time could you please take this quick survey for my class? My topic is why are so many West Virginians' staying/leaving the state. I'm trying to get a broad demographic so a response is very appreciated.

Good morning everyone,

I want to thank everyone who is still here after the bot takeover. It was incredibly annoying to see that spam show up in my feed and I almost left the community. Thankfully, we got the reddit admins to finally take care of it, clear out the old moderator team that was filled with bots, and appoint a new team.

We were appointed around noon yesterday, and other than opening the sub back up and unbanning a few folks that the bots didn't like, we've been taking a soft touch approach. You can expect to see some changes going forward, but we're still working out among ourselves how we're going to moderate the sub and what to implement.

If anyone has any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions, please let us know in the comments, we'd love to hear from the community on how to make this sub the best place we can!

Hi everyone. I'm new to the area and am looking for a gym/ aquatic center/ whatever where I can swim laps. I see the Round Hill Indoor Aquatic Center, and the one at the university in Shepherstown (though I'm not sure this one even offers open swim?). Curious if anyone knows other options. Thanks!
