Maryland shoppers brace for big grocery shakeup

Four Shoppers Food stores in Maryland are closing soon, meaning some neighborhoods will have to rethink their grocery runs. Locations in Essex, New Carrollton, Waldorf, and Westminster are shutting their doors by October 11 as the company aims to streamline operations. While Shoppers says nearby stores and online delivery will help fill the gap, many locals are worried about longer drives and fewer options—especially as retail theft and security concerns grow across the state. What do you think this means for the future of grocery shopping in Maryland? #Food #Maryland #ShoppersFood

Would you buy a $300K raccoon house in Parkton?

A crumbling house in Parkton, MD—currently home to feral cats and raccoons—just hit the market for $300,000, and buyers are being told not to set foot inside. The real draw? Nearly 5 acres of land near scenic trails and preserves, plus a bonus Subaru included in the sale. No indoor plumbing, just an outhouse and water from a stream. Would you take on a wild project like this, or is the land value enough to overlook the animal squatters? Let’s hear your thoughts on what makes a property truly worth it! #RealEstate #Maryland #Parkton

Thousands in Maryland face insurance chaos

Nearly 60,000 Johns Hopkins patients in Maryland could lose their UnitedHealthcare coverage on Monday if a deal isn’t reached. This standoff isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about real people who rely on Hopkins for life-saving care, especially transplant patients who can’t simply switch doctors. Both sides blame each other, but patients are stuck in limbo, worried about losing access to their medical teams. If you or someone you know is affected, check your coverage and apply for continuity of care ASAP. How do you feel about insurance companies and hospitals letting negotiations put patients at risk? #Business #Maryland #JohnsHopkins

Maryland dog owner’s heartbreak turns to shock

Imagine saying a tearful goodbye to your beloved dog, only to find out months later he’s alive and up for adoption. That’s exactly what happened to a Maryland woman who thought her pup, Beau, had been euthanized due to illness. Instead, the shelter treated him and put him back up for adoption—without telling her. The shelter’s policy allows this if they believe the dog is treatable, but it’s left the original owner devastated and confused. How would you feel if you were in her shoes? Should shelters be required to notify former owners in these situations? #Pets #Maryland #DogRescue
