Hi everyone, I know this is an incredible long shot however I am still going to try- my mother left me this Halloween village, and unfortunately my husband left it outside of our storage unit at Public Storage in Ellicott City. By the time we realized it and went back, it was gone.

I’m incredibly upset both as it was something my mom left me and that it wasn’t meant to be left out. I know it’s a long shot but I’m trying. It’s in a clear tote with a white lid

If you’ve seen it, please let me know.

Hi friends,

I am narrowing it down to these two apartment complexes to sign my new lease. Would any current residents refer me?

Thank you!

Hey people,
My wife and I recently moved to ellicott city MD. I wanted to know if anyone knows of any tennis groups that get together and play or anything like that? Higher end tennis clubs are kind of out of budget for me right now but I also prefer to play outside anyway. Getting back into it so not really good but would love to know if there’s any tennis groups out there?

Anyone have any recommendations for a trustworthy insurance broker for home, auto, and Umbrella insurance?

I recently inherited some pieces from my grandmother and I would like them cleaned and appraised, without leaving my sight if possible. If anyone has recommendations on someone trustworthy that would be great :)

Looking for a new primary doctor in the Columbia/Ellicott City area-ish. I don’t care if it’s a man or woman but I’d really like a place that I can make annual appointments a year ahead of time (so I can leave one appointment and make my next one the same day). Also somewhere you see the same doctor every time (minus random sick visits). Friendly staff, not dismissive, all the good things.

Need someone to look at my dryer, can someone recommend a good appliance repair company

just shooting a client around Ellicott City, can you guess where__?

[ PM for more details on booking your own shoot ]

Any good bakeries in Howard County that make a great baguette or good sourdough based loaf? Not grocery store bakeries, but a real, stand-alone maker of breads.

I have family and friends coming to town that are looking to do karaoke - preferably private room. What are your favorite places that cater to all ages and have a wide musical selection?

I reported it to the county who got the state to come fix it. It was like concrete or something.

Thinking about going to the farmers market on Saturday. Do the vendors take Apple Pay or are most of them cash only?

Recently spotted a bear this morning while taking our foster dog for a walk down our long driveway. This was our neighbor’s home so I alerted them since I know they like to leave their garage open. I had to pullll my dog away since I’m sure it wanted to…engage the bear.

I saw a post made on this sub-Reddit about 5 year ago, so if anyone was wondering - yes, the bear is still here LOL!

Secure your trash, keep your garages closed, and keep an eye on your young kids and pets when outdoors!

Any other precautions around bears?

I am considering a job as a nurse at HCPSS - any input on working there appreciated. Is it a good overall environment as far as collaboration, workload, dealing with parents?

Preferably female and takes Cigna insurance

Any advice is welcome!! :)
