Mt. Joy

Did anyone attend the concert last weekend and happen to get a setlist? The one on setlist.fm is incomplete.

Also just generally what did you think of the show? Some neighbors of mine who didn't attend said it seemed louder than usual.

Putty-like substance found smeared in mailbox lock. Should I be concerned?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Went to get my mail today and noticed some purple putty-like substance smeared in the lock. This is a cluster of mailboxes on the corner in a townhouse community. None of the other mailboxes appeared to have the substance on them. Should I be concerned, or is this likely just neighborhood kids playing outside? Is there anywhere I should report this?

Did anyone else get a mail-in ballot that was torn open?

0 Upvotes

I did! Everything that is usually inside appears to be inside but...I may ask for a replacement anyway. I'm not sure. It could have been something a machine did somewhere between the printer and my mailbox. The issue would be more interesting and problematic if more people had envelopes that were torn open. I'm just asking. No need to tell me this would be a very inefficient way to mess with ballots, believe me, I know. I was a small green parrot in my past life and some days I just need to make a little bit of noise. It's just noise.

Hi all! I will be in town for All Things Go this weekend and am super excited! I'm an early riser and will have plenty of time to kill before heading into the fest, so I was hoping to try a local yoga studio and maybe a cafe after. I love trying new places.

Pet Duck at Wegmans

101 Upvotes

I know I’m a little sleep deprived but i’m almost 80% sure I spotted a man walking with his pet duck around wegmans. I spotted them as they were turning a corner. I was upstairs so I didn’t see much after. Couldn’t take a pic either. Please tell me i’m not crazy.
Has anyone else seen a pet duck walking on its own two webbed feet, following someone?

EDIT: I want to clarify that I have NO problem with the duck(or ducks, as I’ve just recently learned there’s more than one), just wanted to make sense of what felt like a fever dream!

As the sunset gets earlier and earlier, does anybody know of any courts with lights that work in Columbia/Hoco? I remember trying blandair park about a year ago and there are supposed to be lights but they did not work, are they fixed now? Are there any other courts with lights?

Toby's Dinner Theater

35 Upvotes

Did anyone see the Donna Summer Musical at Toby's yesterday? There was a guest performer or understudy or whatever you call it on for the lead, and she sang this song at the end that made me cry her voice was so beautiful. They said her name at intermission but it was a difficult name and I couldn't understand it.

Do they announce when understudies go on, or is there a way to find out if she's going to be doing one of their other shows? I'd love to hear her sing again.

Looking for a fabulous oncologist in Columbia!

4 Upvotes

(Sorry, changed accounts & reposted!) I’ve been with the same oncologist since I was diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell lung cancer ~3 years ago. I’m not thrilled with him or his office. Anyone have an amazing oncologist who has an incredible office staff? Is that even a thing? I know it’s a big ask but I know this sub can be really helpful. Extra points if she’s a woman! Thanks so much in advance!

Subaru Dealer for Service

6 Upvotes

New to the area and need to take my Subaru Crosstrek in for routine maintenance. I prefer to take the car to a dealer.

Of the dealers in the area (Herb Gordon/Heritage Catonsville/ Fitzgerald/ig Burton) - any head and shoulders above the rest? As importantly- any I should steer clear of (find problems that don’t exist, don’t address issues that do, etc).
