In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
In conjunction with the postponement of these larger events, the Artist Meet & Greet, originally scheduled to be held at University Plaza, will now take place on its original date of Friday, May 1st. Attendees interested in meeting the artists participating in the National Mural Awards are invited to visit Hub City Brewery, located at 25 W Church Street, between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM. This relocation offers a new venue for community members to connect with the muralists who are in town for the national competition. The City of Hagerstown expressed its gratitude for the public’s understanding and ongoing support for its downtown initiatives. Residents are encouraged to make note of the new date for Thunder in the Square and Music in the Plaza, which promises to be a memorable evening. The city also continues to advocate for local patronage, urging everyone to explore and support the diverse businesses and attractions that downtown Hagerstown has to offer.
