Things you should know this week

Would you go to a bar that took your cell phone?

That’s right, it’s a phone free bar opening in DC this weekend called Hush Harbor! The chef started having phone free events but now they decided to make it permanent at their newest location opening on September 5th.

So many people are tired of everyone being on their phones, constantly taking photos and not having real social interactions so this could be a win for many.

Is this something you’d be interested in?

New Minor Admission Policy – Effective for the 2025 Maryland State Fair (Just started)

Not sure if you heard about the altercation at the fair this past weekend but they quickly implemented a change immediately, so be sure to read so you don’t send any teens there and they cannot get in.

From their website:

To promote a safe, welcoming, and family-friendly environment, the following policy will be in effect during all operating hours of the 2025 Maryland State Fair:

  • All fairgoers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or chaperone who is 21 years of age or older to enter the Fairgrounds.

  • Each adult chaperone may accompany no more than six (6) minors.

  • Individuals who are 18 years or older may be required to show a valid driver’s license or government-issued photo ID to verify age.

  • Unaccompanied individuals under 18 who cannot provide proof of age or are not with a qualifying adult will not be admitted at any time.

Time for Fun!

59% of you got last weeks question correct. This newsletter will focus mostly on Central Maryland with a hint of some DC, PG, MOCO, Charles County and Frederick here and there because exciting things happen all over Maryland and if you are like me…you will drive for fun! I was shocked that this area had a name outside of greater Baltimore so figured if I could learn something…so could others. Seems like majority of you already know what it was called so you got me beat there!
