We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

The 10-Year Downtown Plan serves as a strategic guide for public and private investments, influencing the direction of development and revitalization efforts in Hagerstown. Community members will have the opportunity to engage in various activities designed to gather ideas and feedback. The input collected will play a crucial role in forming a vision that reflects the desires and needs of residents for the next decade.
The City of Hagerstown is emphasizing broad participation by inviting individuals of all ages to attend. Parking will be available at the library lot to accommodate attendees. The process aims to ensure that the updated plan supports a vibrant and dynamic downtown environment, driven by community collaboration.

We didn't pick our name by accident.

We don't lock our news behind a paywall, will you help us keep it that way? If you're tired of news sweetened with confirmation bias that never questions the 'official story', consider becoming a monthly supporter. Just $5/month helps fund our local reporting, live election night coverage, and more.
