Maryland Monthly Marketplace - Advertise your Maryland services, events, or merchandise here.

3 Upvotes

Since we have rules against advertising on the main part of the subreddit, we figured it would be nice to create a thread where users can get a little more leeway when it comes to advertising.

Use this thread to advertise any Maryland related services or merchandise to the users of r/Maryland. Got an Etsy store? Drop it below! Your favorite restaurant running a great special? Tell us about it!

Rules for this thread:

  1. All items, events and services must be related to Maryland in some way.
  2. Services and sales cannot be country or worldwide. (Walmart is having a sale! Is not okay. Old Bay is being sold at the Annapolis Walmart for 50¢ is appropriate)
  3. Ads should be posted by regular r/Maryland users, not bots or brand new accounts/accounts which have no connection to Maryland.
  4. We may remove any ad at any time for any reason should we deem it inappropriate.
  5. Any services or products advertised here must be legal in the state of Maryland.

This thread may evolve as time goes on and we see what it's used for.

The mods of r/Maryland do not endorse any products or services on this thread. Use your head, we will not intervene in any transactional disputes between any users.

Hello, I am Katie Thomson, Secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation. Ask me anything!

298 Upvotes

Hello Reddit!

I was appointed by Governor Wes Moore last December to serve in this role, but I’ve worked in the transportation field for more than 30 years. Previously I had the honor to serve at the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration.  

The Maryland Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining our state’s transportation system – and it’s more than just roads! Our responsibilities also include the Port of Baltimore, the Francis Scott Key Bridge Rebuild Project, BWI Thurgood Marshall International Airport and our state’s public transit system, including MTA’s service in Baltimore and the upcoming Purple Line. We also oversee the Motor Vehicle Administration, which helps our residents through vehicle registration and driver licensing. We are Serious About Safety for all users of our system, and we want to ensure transportation in Maryland is sustainable into the future. 

I am eager answer your questions about transportation (or where my favorite place to run in Maryland is!).  

Proof:

I’ll start answering questions at 12 p.m. on Monday, October 5th, and plan to stick around for about one hour. 

AMA! 

EDIT (12:10 p.m.): Hi, I'm Katie and look forward to answering your questions!

EDIT: (12:37 p.m.) We are answering questions. There was a little glitch but the mods are working on fixing that. Our answers should appear soon.

EDIT: (1:00 p.m.) Thanks everyone!

Question for wheelchair users that have gone to the MD Renaissance festival.

14 Upvotes

Hello! I completely forgot about the MD Renn Fest this year, and was going to try to go but I do see that there is a waitlist for this weekend and next weekend.

I am planning to put my name on the waitlist, but wanted to be prepared before I do.

For those that use a wheelchair, is it difficult using one on the terrain at the MD Renn Faire? I am a newer wheelchair user and have only used it once before (as I have been using other motility aids like a cane, crutches, knee scooter, etc.) A wheelchair is the best option for me to reduce pain compared to the others when there is a lot of walking involved.

I have the kind that has the larger wheels that I can push myself or someone else can push it. I have seen people in wheelchairs at Renn Faire and of course those who have strollers. I just wasn't sure how difficult it would be due to the roots/rocks/hills/etc. Like I said, I have almost zero experience using one so sorry if this is a dumb question.

I have no upper body strength since I can't exercise, so I know it would probably be difficult for me to use the wheelchair just by myself (not to mention that I can't get it in and out of the car by myself) but I would be going with someone who can push the wheelchair. I just don't want to ask them to push me if it's going to be too difficult for them.

Thanks for your help!

Congressman Andy Harris says he doesn't owe the student journalist an apology, and doubles down on his incorrect assertion that journalists need two-party consent to record in public, and blames the liberal media for, you know, making a big deal about him not knowing the law.

Recently getting flooded with calls about roof inspectors.

20 Upvotes

So I don't know if this is happening to anyone else but for the last 3 weeks I have been getting flooded with calls about roof inspectors and storm damage. These people seem to know my name already and my address. All these numbers are showing up as Maryland numbers. I get these calls like 5-6 times a day now.

How did these people get my address and name. It's very concerning.

My phone number is already on the national do not call list.

My roof is already brand new it's 3 years old as I had solar panels put up in 2023.

Huge police escort on MD-200 W today

I was driving eastbound around 6 PM today and saw 6 or 7 police cars driving one behind the other flashing all their lights. 5 huge buses behind them, then another 4 or 5 police cars following, lights on. Seemed like they were driving pretty fast, never seen an escort that big tbh. Anyone know what it was?
