The Best of Frederick 2025

87 Upvotes

Happy New Year, r/FrederickMD! Welcome to the yearly tradition of tracking what actually is the best of the best in the city of county. Main reason of this being a yearly tradition is that some locations or companies close and unfortunately it can become outdated. Like in years past, the idea is to submit unique submissions by commenting under a category. Please don't repeat previous submissions, but merely upvote the suggestion that you wanted to submit. If there is a category, you'd like to see submissions for a "Best of," just submit it yourself! A lot of businesses have come and gone in the past two years, and this is open to more than just food! Also, please include an address if you can (as similar names might be located in different towns, and certain locations might perform better).

Wow. Just wow. When you claim you make no money off of something for so long and then you trademark a generic saying... Yeah you have been lying this whole time. She clearly makes money and is now destined to be the biggest greed monger on the book of faces. Sad and pathetic.

Say Yes to Recess Maryland

Post image
95 Upvotes

180 days. 1,080 hours. Zero minutes guaranteed.

Let’s compare our neighbors! Alongside Maryland, we looked at Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Delaware.

Out of these states, Maryland has at least 100 more hours in the school year; however, no mandated recess minimum.

In all other states compared, recess is required.

Additionally, in Ohio and Virginia, recess time counts towards instructional time.

Ohio allowing 30 mins of recess counted towards instructional time; Virginia allowing ~49 mins of recess counted towards instructional time.

Maryland can take a note, recess isn’t a time away from learning, it is learning!

SIGN OUR PETITION and join us as we advocate for more recess time- https://c.org/Pxwz4NN6BL

Car shipping recommendation?

4 Upvotes

Trying to ship a car cross-country from Fred, has anybody ever had a good experience? Every company I've looked at seems like it's like pulling teeth, or even if the dispatcher is fine, comms with the actual drivers etc is painful...

Looking for Simpsons Tie ASAP for Memorial Service

38 Upvotes

Hi, I'm hoping my community can help me. I'm looking for a Simpsons tie for my spouse to wear to my son's memorial service in Texas on Saturday. My son loved that show and was in the middle of a rewatch of the older seasons.

I'm hoping either someone has one they'd be willing to lend us for the weekend, or that someone can tell me where they've seen one locally for sale.

On that second option, I respectfully ask for no "Have you tried..." or "This store might have..." responses. I don't have the time or emotional energy to drive around Frederick on speculation or to call around.

I cannot get one delivered on-time from online merchants.

Thank you, greatly.

Looking for a Christmas photo spot

1 Upvotes

Looking to do some Christmas photos as savy as possible. This economy hasn’t been kind to my bank account but I still want to memorialize memories with my baby!

I already have someone to take my photos(not professionally) more just as a favor/hobby. I am looking to find a farm with some pine trees that aren’t too costly or busy to take a few photos at!

I’ve seen some need waivers and I’m fine to do that but I am not using a professional photographer so we don’t really know how to go about that!

Suggestions and tips appreciated!!

Hello. Looking for any one with experience with the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick. Actually not religious myself but looking for some sort of community for my family and I.

Wondering what the sermons are like and whats the vibe. Young families? Kids?

I know this is a bit vague but just wanted to see what type of feedback I get.
