Has anyone dealt with William Pennington of Fortney Homes Inc and Jim Davis the maintenance manager on duty. I am aware of Penningtons legal malfeasance involving the Fair Play Fire Hall litigation and his documented history of intimidation. He is making false claims repeatedly and was verbally and physically aggressive getting inches from my face with his fingers in my face telling me he will "take whatever tone I want". This was said after he raised his voice at me during an unannounced visit and I told him not to take that tone with me. I am exploring legal options but because he has a very long (and contentious) history in the county I am curious if others have had experience and have strategies for dealing with him and his duplicity. Thank you in advance for any insight.

I would like to know if anyone has information about Saint James School in Hagerstown. What kind of students go there?
What are the school’s main values and focus?
Are most of the students from the local area, or do many come from somewhere else?
What is the overall culture like at Saint James?
Is it more of an academic school, an athletic school, or a good balance of both?
Are the students humble, or is there a lot of social pressure and competition?
How approachable are the teachers? Do they really get to know the students?
How well does the school handle bullying, gossip, or social conflicts?
Do the boarding students and day students mix well, or do they tend to stay in separate groups?
How difficult is it for a new student to make friends?
If your child attended Saint James, what did they love most, and what did they struggle with?
Would Saint James be a good fit for a bright, kind, academically curious child who is a little shy and has lost some confidence after being bullied?

Hey all,

Planning on moving out soon and keep passing the apartment building that’s under construction in front of south high. Does anyone have any information on it? Trying to see if it’s in my budget

Join us Tuesday, July 21, at 9:00 am as we protest outside the Washington County Commissioners meeting at 100 W. Washington Street in Hagerstown as we continue demanding transparency and accountability for the proposed ICE detention center and data centers which our commissioners are not being transparent about.

Tuesday’s meeting also includes public hearings on major decisions involving the county’s water and sewer infrastructure, zoning changes, and future development. These decisions could shape Washington County for decades, including projects tied to the former Fort Ritchie property and future large-scale industrial development.

9:00 am: Join our protest outside the Washington County Commissioners meeting.

9:30 am: WS-25-004 (2003 Mason Dixon LLC)
What it does: Extends public water and sewer service for a proposed 1.85 million-square-foot warehouse development.
Major concern: Expanding water and sewer infrastructure for one major industrial project could also increase the county’s capacity to support other water-intensive developments in the future, including the proposed ICE detention center and potential data centers.

9:45 am: RZ-26-002 (Cascade Properties LLC)
What it does: Changes the zoning rules for the former Fort Ritchie property to allow a much broader range of industrial, commercial, retail, and residential uses.
Major concern: The proposed changes could make it easier to approve future large-scale projects at Fort Ritchie, including data centers if proposed, while residents still have unanswered questions about traffic, utilities, and environmental impacts.

10:00 am: RZ-26-003 (Michael Godinez & Dominion Realty LLC)
What it does: Rezones two residential properties on Maugans Avenue from Residential Multifamily to Highway Interchange zoning.
Major concern: Residents are being asked to approve a commercial zoning change without knowing what the contract purchaser intends to build. No concept plan has been provided showing the size, access, parking, lighting, operating hours, or proximity to neighboring homes, making it impossible to meaningfully evaluate neighborhood and environmental impacts before the zoning is changed.

Looking for rpgs, open worlds, and pokemon games!

This is what local comedy looks like: a microphone, a room full of strangers, and the shared hope that the next joke lands.

Has anyone ever bought preserved lemon at any of the local grocery stores or specialty/middle eastern stores? Just asking before I go on a hunt for something that might not exist. I know it’s easy to make your own but it takes a couple months and I want to make this recipe sooner than that. Thanks all!

Just got a job that is 4 days in Baltimore inner harbor. Does anyone else make the Hagerstown to Baltimore commute? Any tips or resources to make it more bearable? Has anyone tried the marc or similar to take them halfway?

Eventually ill move closer, but for now the drive is unavoidable.

Pulled from an old videotape (that was of course a film reel beforehand). Enjoy

Does anyone know anything about the motorcycle accident that caused a fatality on Dual Highway today?

To the person that saw The Odyssey last night at the Valley Mall in Hagerstown at 6 pm and clapped when Elliot Page's character was killed You're a human shit stain on society and you're miserable existence will keep you from knowing what love and kindness truly are. The only thing you're good for is spurring the rest of us to ensure that you're shoved into a deep dark hole for the rest of your pathetic excuse of a life.

I know that I can go to the Dutch market for bread, but I’m hoping to find a local bread shop. When I look for bakeries, I just find places that sell pastries, cakes, and muffins. My mom is visiting in a week and she loves a nice bread bakery, so I am hoping to find a cool place to take her to.

I came outside and saw soo much haze. I thought the humidity must be crazy. Then I realized I could look at the sun and not go blind. This is the same conditions that we had a couple summers back with the fires in Canada. So I guess there's fires again? I wonder what the air quality is is right now.

Be safe out there.

Visited Sofritos on East Washington street. Had a Tripleta sandwich. They've been there about a year, did a nice job with the place. Had no problem parking, and nobody hassled me.

Last year Spirit didn't open til almost October. They've already got products up and it's July.

Come buy fresh gherkin cucumbers, yellow squash, and zucchini at Bespoke Farmstead on the corner of Robinwood and Jefferson. We also still have heirloom seeds, and fresh eggs.

Need it gone ASAP. You pick up and arrange transportation. Stuff on piano not included 😂.

Hi my name is Kimberly. I'm not from around hagerstown originally. I have lived here since 2024.

I am a stay at home girlfriend. With nothing to really do.Currently i'm not working. I'm staying home for a little while. Until I can get a few things organized and squared away.

I don't really have very many friends out here. None that I really hang out with. I would like to try to find some that are my own age. Preferably women, my age because I do have a boyfriend, and I don't want to lead anybody on, but I won't rule out male friends as well, as long as they know their boundaries.

I am drug free, a non smoker and I am a light social drinke, I might drink once or twice a year.

What I'm really seeking is somebody that I can hang out with. Maybe go to lunch. Maybe sometimes go to the movies, go on walks and get mini.Pedies that kind of thing.

My husband isn't over the road truck. Driver and he is seldom home.He's only home on sundays and mondays. Except for when I have appointments, i'm available anytime of the week.Tuesday through saturday. It would be nice to socialize, and make some friends. I don't discriminate due to religion or sexual orientation. I'm just sicking somebody to socialize with whether it's an individual or a group of people, but it would be really nice to find somebody close to my age that can relate.

A bit more about me on fifty six years old, a diabetic and a u s army veteran.

If anybody is interested in making a friend and hanging out, please feel free to DM me. If anybody wants to meet up, I will gladly meet them in a public setting for lunch. That is safe secure. No personal info is needed to give out.

Seen they are starting to renovate the old bank building by the KFC. Anyone know what it is becoming?

I’m standing up in my friend’s wedding at his family farm in Pennsylvania, and the nearest hotel is in Hagerstown. I hear Maryland is known for its seafood and I’ve never been before so my fiancée and I are excited to try some while we’re in town

Unfortunately my husband’s disability is getting to him more and he can’t mow it currently. Any recommendations on reliable service?
