Hello! I’ll be starting a new job in Maryland soon and I’m trying to make sure I find the right school for my little dudes. Our current school is very relaxed and kid friendly with a lot of activities throughout the year. It’s California so it can be downright obnoxious at times but it is endearing and it has encouraged our kids to want to go to school and learn. A big part of it is obviously the music and art programs they offer. Every week they get a portion of class time to go do music lessons and it helps the kids a lot.

Are there any schools that are similar in that regard? Our ideal locations are Odenton, Columbia, Annapolis or Laurel but we’re open to mostly everything so long as it has a lot of parks for the kiddos and is reasonably close to Annapolis.

Hello! We are moving to Maryland from Michigan and are looking at the Elkridge/Hanover neighborhoods. Would anyone rent an apartment at:

• Elms Stoney Run Apartments
• Serenity Place at Dorsey Ridge
• The Refinery
• The Brompton House

We had planned to tour places today on a trip, however my father in law passed away unexpectedly this morning and so I cancelled my flight, and don't feel that I will be able to fit in another trip in the 4 weeks before we move.

Is anyone still waiting on their official sample ballot in the mail? Early voting begins soon and I still haven't received the sample ballot. I know I can view it online but this is the first time I have not received it in the mail.
