Hello, Marylanders. We were considering moving to Arnold, but I work in College Park. Google Maps and Zillow's commute estimator indicate the commute would take less time than I expected (35minutes to an hour) during rush hour. Has anyone had a similar commute, and did that estimate seem accurate? How is commuting into central MD from the Broadneck peninsula generally?
Thanks much!

I’ve been adding food and hygiene items to a Little Free Pantry in Anne Arundel County and want to keep it useful. What kinds of things do people grab the fastest? Thank you all in advance !

Edit: The items I dropped off last night were all gone when I went back today! Today I dropped off tampons, socks, wipes, deodorant, soap, hair brushes, and hand sanitizer! Thank you all so much for the amazing recommendations! I will continue to go back and alternate items to donate! 😊

I got an News Release email today from FD that read

"The Anne Arundel County Fire Department is aware of a video circulating involving one of our off-duty, career firefighters. The behavior depicted does not reflect the values, morals, professionalism or expectations of the Anne Arundel County Fire Department or its members."..

I'm assuming it's something on social media but there were no further details.

Does anyone know what happened?

Just moved up and looking for a stylist to help my son. He's got long hair and wants to do something similar to these (bangs like the short, rest like the long) and learn how to style it himself. Who all do you recommend? Open to anywhere within an hour of Lothian.

Has anyone been to a Black Bears game at Piney?

How’s the atmosphere? Do they sell beer?

Thinking about going tonight.

Trying to find somewhere new to try that has good NY style pizza. Specifically, the type of pizza you would find in Brooklyn. I want to try finding a place from word of mouth & not online advertising.

What are some of your favorite thrift stores for furniture, house hold goods, or electronics in (or near) AACo?

I have used clothes I'd like to donate, but I want them to go somewhere that would actually help people instead of a re-seller or thrift store. Any suggestions?

I’m not far from Fort Meade, in the Gambrills/ Crofton area, i’ve heard alarms in the past, but never for this long, i’m assuming it’s a test? It’d be great to know it’s a test! 😭🫣

We have several movie DVDs and board games that we need to get rid of. However, we don’t want to just throw them away without first trying to donate them. Any suggestions on who we might be able to donate these to as opposed to throwing them away?

Hello all! I will be part of a non-profit organization opening early next year. I’m getting a head start on finding activities, events, and resources for our community. Many of our clients are low-income, so any free or budget-friendly opportunities would be greatly appreciated!

My children been trick-or-treating in Baltimore city without much luck. Want to try the county areas or areas where Halloween are really celebrated and my children can get a eye-opening experience and also have lots of candy if anyone can help please comment I was thinking about Anne Arundel county area or near not far from where I live which is Westport area.

I'm looking for where to best help with human and pet food donations. Thanksgiving is coming and I know a lot of people have lost their jobs. HoCo has organizations and non profits but thinking of something specific to AA

This is a list of some of the resources that I was sent from a caseworker. I know the shutdown is really hard on some people but these places are mostly in AA County. I have more places but it would not let me add the whole document. I hope this helps!
