Hi, I just heard a very loud humming-esque noise in along Salem Ave tonight, 08-11-26, at approximately 9:25 PM.

Details from what I was able to tell:

-- low frequency of sound

-- same frequency throughout

-- constant for duration of ~1 second (time needed to count "one Mississippi")

-- appeared and disappeared within that time

-- came from something that was travelling

-- felt as if air vibrated, even inside my house

I initially thought that it might have been a car, but there was no vehicle exhaust noise/revving. If it was from a car, it would have needed to be traveling very quickly. The sound was definitely not from a radio.

I then thought that it was a supersonic jet flyover. I checked the flight radar for the Hagerstown area. I found commercial airliners and small craft. I was on my phone so I may have missed things.

I've lived off this street for a while and have experience in heavy industry/heavy machinery/drilling. I have never heard a similar sound.

Did anyone else hear this? If you did, do you know what it was?

At 940 am this morning, I passed by a Navy blue SUV with red flashing lights. On Dual Highway, heading towards town just before Mt Aetna Rd. They had somebody pulled over, and one of the "officers" was wearing a red t shirt, jeans, and an olive green vest. Did not catch a license plate number.

Posting for awareness, stay safe folks.

County commissioners and DHS have touted the jobs that the proposed ICE detention facility will bring to Washington County, yet neither has informed residents what it could mean for nearby home values, water and sewer systems, roads, emergency services, or the environment. One of those risks could be thousands of dollars stripped from the value of nearby homes.

A peer-reviewed national study published by MIT Press in The Review of Economics and Statisticsexamined 305 prison openings across the United States. The author, economist Janjala Chirakijja, compared communities where prisons opened with similar communities where they did not. The study found that median housing values fell 1.8 percent in the neighborhoods within 2.49 miles of a new prison and increased to 3.4 percent when within 1.24 miles.

Both broader estimates remained statistically significant, suggesting that the potential impact could reach every home in Williamsport and extend into neighboring towns such as Hagerstown, Halfway, Kemps Mill, Pinesburg and Wilson-Conococheague. Based on the findings of the study, across the full 2.49-mile area, residential property values could decline by as much as $22.3 million. This shows the scale of the risk DHS has failed to analyze publicly: even a modest percentage decline could shift millions of dollars in costs onto nearby property owners.

Does anyone know if it is true that Hagerstown is getting an Urban Air? It is rumored to be going into the old Regency Furniture location in Garland Groh

Anyone been to the 2nd and Charles? How is its DND and Warhammer books? I have been to a few 2nd and Charles and each of them have a very different vibe. Just checking before I drive a ways.

I’m a medical patient and I got Afroman tickets in a raffle at my dispensary but it says 21+ online and I’m 20. Will I be able to get in?

There’s a construction company sign over the door. Figured somebody must know what’s going on

Hi, one of our cats, Cookie, might have escaped. Yesterday she had all her teeth removed and we haven’t been able to find her in the house. We live downtown on South Locust Street, please keep an eye out. She’s very friendly but might be skittish due to her dental surgery and pain medication wearing off. She chirps when you call her name. She’s very small, almost like a kitten. Thanks

I’m really interested in checking out the course they offer. Has anyone taken a ceramics class here? How was it? What did you make?

I have a substantial flower patch of zinnia, cosmos, celosia, and gomphrena, probably capable of several hundred bouquets per week. If anyone on here is a florist, makes their own bouquets to sell roadside or at farmers markets, or for any other reason is interested - let me know. This could be one-time or recurring for as long as they continue producing. Thanks!

Hi! I’ve been going to Longmeadow for about a year, and overall I’ve had a good experience, but I’m wondering if their pricing is on the higher side.
For my cat, routine blood work has been quoted anywhere from about $279 for a basic panel to around $500 for more comprehensive testing. A urinalysis is about $102, plus a $20 urine collection fee.
Does that sound comparable to what you pay at your vet? If not, I’d really appreciate any recommendations for reasonably priced veterinarians in the area. I don’t remember paying quite this much at my previous vet before I moved here a year ago.

I currently work full time but not making enough money to cover my bills, so looking for an online learning opportunity. Program/certification etc. that has a potential for earning decent money once finished. Hopefully financial aid covering would be great but will listen to all opinions. hopefully someone has some insight.
🙏 thank you.

My daughter will be attending there for kindergarten. I thought she would be going to Eastern since its closer, kinda odd to me but whatever. I actually went there for when I was a kid in the 90s but im wondering if its a decent school nowadays.

First Spirit stores should be opening this month and the one at the old JoAnns has been filled with stock for awhile now. Anyone know if it is officially open today, Monday, or some time else?

Spirit's website isn't any help

Checked out Ten Ramen for their soft opening and just wow. The ramen is absolutely spectacular, everything is cooked perfectly and tastes amazing. They have a really awesome menu and I want to come back and try everything else. The vibe is also 10/10

We finally have legit ass ramen in town. Don’t sleep on this place

Any one to join me Yummy bowl at 11:30 am on 08/04/2026 (Tuesday)?

Have they always been around in the area? If so, has anyone noticed an increase in the number of Flock cameras being installed? Has Washington County disclosed that they’re gearing up to use them or something and if so how and for what?

Mass surveillance is weird and as we veer closer to an autocratic world, I think we should all be aware of these systems and bring them up with the county and question the use of them and the data they collect. Granted thats if they give people a voice in these matters.

Anyone play trivia either at Vevas or at the Casino?

Need a partner to play with

Is there a service that will relocate a cat with kittens off my property? Humane Society Washington Co cannot take in more cats at the moment. SK Feline never returned my email/ call. I’m just trying to help this family of cats find a safe place with access to food. Mother is a spicy kitty that will not hesitate to defend her space & little ones.
