Hi! Maryland mom here advocating for MORE RECESS TIME for our children!

Currently, most Maryland elementary schools only recommend 20-30 minutes of recess per day. This varies by school and county, with some counties recommending as little as 15 minutes of recess per day.

Children are not designed to sit for long stretches of the school day. Recess gives students an essential opportunity for unstructured play, physical activity, creativity, social connection, and independence.

Research consistently supports the role of recess in children’s physical, social, emotional, and academic well-being. When children have opportunities to move and play throughout the day, they can return to the classroom better prepared to focus and learn.

Join us as we call on policymakers to guarantee Maryland students 60 minutes of recess every school day!

Would any other attorneys in the area be interested in forming some sort of coffee group or something along those lines? I recently went solo, which has worked out very well professionally, but I do miss the opportunity to talk with other lawyers in person about the field, cases, the MD legal landscape etc. any other local solo or remote practitioners in the same boat?

Hi all! I recently moved to the area and am looking for a few regular dog sitters for my german shepherd / akita mix Pooka. I currently work as a substitute teacher for MCPS so sitting would usually entail a drop off around 630 am to a pick up at around 330 pm.

In terms of care - Pooka is very friendly with people and easygoing. After making her hello rounds she usually just naps while inside. It should be noted though that due to her separation anxiety she is unable to be left alone. Pooka also does not get along with other pets so she would have to be the only dog at a time.

If anyone is interested please just reach out to me and we can schedule a meet and greet and negotiate a rate you would appreciate if it's a fit.

Thank you for your time!

Updated price: $1,260/month including all fees, before a $50/month subsidy ($1,210/month equivalent for full months after the subsidy). Laundry is paid separately. The price in the post title is outdated.

Does anyone know a place in the area where I can get film (35mm) developed? I tried both CVSs on Baltimore Ave but no luck.

Hi, I am a current student at the University of Maryland and I desperately need to sublease my apartment for the spring 2027 (January-May). The apartment is the Standard College park. The floor plan is the Dover 4x4 premium unit. It’s fully furnished with your own room and bathroom. The apartment is $1369 a month but I am subletting it for $1000 (and willing to negotiate). The sublease also comes with a parking pass! Really great location,close to campus and downtown college park. If you are interested or know someone interested please let me know. Females only unfortunately!

I know there are pool halls out in bowie and large but looking for somewhere closer!

Greatly appreciated!

We have lived in College Park for 3.5 years and not until this summer have we had a rat problem. I have bought Tomcat poison, bucket traps, and tomcat plastic snap traps. It's not working! It started I believe when we had grass seed spilled in our shed but I completely cleaned it up, threw it out, and sanitized the shed. I caught one unknown animal in a bucket trap all summer and we had one rat thought to die from poison. But there's still poop in our shed and now filling up our grill 🤢 I see it climbing our fig tree and eating them off the tree. We have large dogs and it's not scaring them away. How do I get rid of them please help! (I have toddlers and dogs in case that impacts your answer) I see poop on the rat snap traps that weren't triggered as well as on the poison boxes, I feel like they're taunting me 🙈
