The Best of Frederick 2025

88 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Main reason of this being a yearly tradition is that some locations or companies close and unfortunately it can become outdated.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).

Best farm/butcher for bulk buying that is non-MAGA?

72 Upvotes

Super interested in getting bulk meat for my family (and several friends/extended family) though we want to give business to folks that arent MAGA/trump supporter aligned. Note that we dont care if someone is Republican or Democrat, its more about if they (currently) support MAGA, which is against our morals and frankly we just dont want to support businesses like that.

Any helpful suggestions are welcomed!

There have been a slew of motorcycle thefts at our apartment complex off 7th St. I walked out to go to work this morning to find my 26 MT09 with less than 700 miles on it, missing. Had it locked to the post, steering was locked, it was covered, and blocked in with my car.

Looking for work

Upvotes

Hellooo everyone. I been job hunting for the past couple weeks now. I’m looking for a better opportunity for myself and finally quitting the fast food industry after 6 years. Is there any office jobs or any entry level places that are hiring in Frederick? I don’t mind commuting as long as it’s not going farther towards 270 (you should know why lol traffic) I have a good resume and have lots of experience in retail, business, customer service etc. I been feeling overwhelmed by this change but ready to start something new. I am a business major as well. please leave any suggestions or advice for a young adult like myself🙂

Just wondering if there are any other FP nerds here in frederick besides me? Looking for meet ups or events where we can talk about pens, swap and trade inks and all the other fun stationary things. I love journaling, stationary and am HUGE into fountain pens.

Live near TJH Child Will Attend Urbana High

6 Upvotes

My family just moved to Frederick 3 months ago. My son will be starting 9th grade and was accepted into the IB program at Urbana High. We actually live near Thomas Johnson High. I know Frederick County won't provide transportation so I'm looking for any tips. Has anyone had experience doing this with their child? My son really wants to participate in the program and I'm trying to make it work. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Any local woodworkers help me out?

1 Upvotes

I have 2 six foot acacia butcher blocks from Costco. Can't find a link at all: just this.

I need them cut and joined to ~10 foot length. I have some walnut and instead of trying to hide the joint, I thought it might look good to accentuate it with some walnut bowties.

Anyone around that can do this type of work? If so, let's talk cost.

Looking to join a wildlife rehabilitation group and or/ habitat restoration groups

22 Upvotes

Hello, I recently moved here from the Adirondacks, and I used to be a transporter for injured wildlife. I'm hoping to find a place to do that here as well. I also would love to help plant trees or be involved in native habitat restoration. I found the Carol audubon sanctuary, but I haven't found much else. Also I enjoy hiking and paddle boarding and I love meet some ladies that also are passionate about nature & animals :)

Lowes is ripping off their Frederick customers.

14 Upvotes

I was on the Lowe's web site looking at lumber. The boards I wanted were showing a price of $8.98/board. Out of stock at Hagerstown but available in Frederick. I put two in my cart, and the price for each changed to $19.99/board. I contacted Lowes by chat, and this was their answer:

Thank you for reaching out to us. I will be happy to assist you, and I am very sorry for the issue you are encountering with the price for the Allen + Roth 1-in x 4-in x 8-ft Painted #2 S4S Square Softwood Board (item 373500 model 148-PFMDF8). Upon further review of the issue, I am showing that the price with the Hagerstown, MD store is $8.98; however, the boards are out of stock at that location. The next closest store showing to have them in stock is the N. Frederick, MD store and the price through that location is $19.98. I hope this information helps alleviate any confusion. If there is anything else I can do to assist you, please let me know. I am glad to help.

New policy for Fred Co jobs?

Post image
25 Upvotes

For seemingly every open salaried job, the Frederick County Government's listing has this note--why aren't salaries being considered solely on an applicant's experience or capabilities? Seems like an easy way for them to pay people as little as possible for what are often very important or high pressure jobs. We hate to see it as people are getting paid less than ever and Frederick (as well as everywhere) is becoming more unaffordable than ever.


r/frederickmd 23h ago

Are there any food banks in Frederick where you don’t have to sign up or be a resident? I live closer to Frederick than my county. Looking for my options. Thank you.

Saw a guy in a Nazi shirt on Market St.

186 Upvotes

At around 6:30 - 6:40, I saw a fellow on a cruiser motorcycle wearing a t-shirt depicting the Schutzstaffel (SS) bolts embroidered with the US flag stars and stripes. I didn't have my phone on me, but it was near-identical to this one worn by a San Diego gym owner, though the stars and stripes were in black and white.

I don't have much to say other than I hope this asshole got the shit kicked out of him somewhere. Make fascists afraid again.

The Banyan—owner sexually harassing women guests?

94 Upvotes

Women of Frederick,

has anyone had any uncomfortable encounters with the Male owner of the Banyan since it has opened? I have had two very close friends, from separate friend groups, share the same story. It seems like he enjoys following women into the elevators 🙂

Be careful and stay vigilant at all times.

Need a very specific photo size printed - no idea where to go

4 Upvotes

I need to get citizenship/passport photos printed for an dual citizen application to Canada, but the Canadian government has specific requirements compared to standard US passport photos.

They need to be 50 mm x 70 mm (not the standard US 2x2 inch size), and the back of one photo has be stamped/written with the physical photography studio’s name, address, and the date the photo was taken.

CVS/Walgreens type places don't print in that size - anyone have experience on this or an idea of where I could go?

Any recommendations for storage units?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for a reputable place for storage for several months. It would have to be climate controlled, clean, etc. Does anyone have any recommendations for one? It doesn't have to be Frederick proper, anywhere south of it would do also.
