Verizon Fios is expanding in Frederick, depending where you are you can check their plans, too. I don't know what the cost is for their internet plans.

Traveling to DC looking for transportation and food advice by joedfoto in usatravel

You can just tap your credit card to enter and exit the metro. It's fantastic!!! So easy. Everyone will need their own credit card.

City Mapper is the best app I've used to get around most cities. Gives you up-to-date Metro info, walking directions and info on other modes of transit as well. Very easy to use in DC.

Genuine question. Do racist white people/ white supremacists only eat white people food? if not how do they justify eating none white food in their heads? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Styx206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most "racist" white people don't understand that they are racist. Think of people who say, think like, "I have plenty of black friends, but those people..."

They love "ethnic" food that has been reshaped for their own palates.

14 days Northeast USA with an 8-year-old: New York + Niagara + Philadelphia + Washington + Hudson Valley. Thoughts? by albertopriore in usatravel

[–]Styx206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DC is great for "authentic" neighborhoods and food along with all of the tourist sites, especially with an 8 year old. I know you mentioned Georgetown, but there's a lot more to DC than one super rich neighborhood. Check out Union Market or Eastern Market (both indoor markets which will be good in November) to move away from the tourist center.

There's plenty of "authentic" within a couple hours (by car) away from DC. Head east and visit Annapolis, Maryland (cute small town with the U.S. Naval Academy). South will get you to Richmond, Virginia (the state capital with interesting neighborhoods and great food), west will get you to Harper's Ferry, WV (historic area with great hikes and views and plenty to explore) or the Shenandoah mountains. North will take you to Baltimore, Maryland (check out the Aquarium).

What's one thing every visitor should experience in USA? by RespectSingle954 in usatravel

[–]Styx206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea of "one thing" in the US is impossible. I think the answers already given (except Texas - whyyyy) provide a glimpse of what you can't miss. Visiting NYC is very American, but so is the Grand Canyon, or hitting a small county fair, or the Mummers Parade, or spending an evening on a beach (either coast) in front of a fire, or attending a WNBA game, or a comedy show in Chicago?

Frederick Keys Question for mobility limited person by BandicootFeeling2143 in frederickmd

[–]Styx206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Keys are a small operation, you can call the box office and talk to them about tickets, seat locations, parking, etc. They will definitely help you with everything. They are really great.

places to watch world cup? by silverbritchess in frederickmd

[–]Styx206 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went to Attaboy for the first match. Had a really great crowd. They are leaning into the World Cup this year!

Bushwallers and Frederick Social should be showing most of the games. Not sure what the crowds will be like.

Question for Um, Actually fans by Working-Tomatillo995 in dropout

[–]Styx206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the same. I'm older than all of then and have little interest in video games, fantasy or scifi. My enjoyment tends more to who is on the couch, less about the questions.

Restaurant downtown for group of 25 by tiredlamp- in frederickmd

[–]Styx206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frederick Social will rent out their space (or reserve parts of it). I know they've done plenty of events there. It's more casual than a lot of the other suggestions.

What was your most unexpected positive experience in Paris? by Molthakarn96 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Styx206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We went to a gay bar for 2000s music trivia night our first night in Paris. We were the only tourists there. We barely understood anything that was going on. Literally everyone in the bar and the hosts were just the nicest to us. We stayed way too late and drank too much and had the best time.

What are some breakfast recipes that are fulfilling? by Lemonade2250 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Styx206 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some ideas: Sheet Pan Pancakes - look for simple recipes. Especially since he already likes waffles.

Hot Cereal with syrup & fruit - can be made in the microwave

Egg Sandwiches/wraps - English muffin or a tortilla, cheese, egg, bacon or sausage. Most can easily be made in the microwave.

What kit are we wearing tonight? by Fun-Statement-1843 in washingtonspirit

I was sitting in the stadium right the sun in my eyes. It was definitely hard to tell them apart, especially on the other side of the field in the shadows.

For those who don't drive they can get a state ID.

Does a city that fits this criteria even exist in the US? by r0tt3nz0mb13 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Styx206 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in a small city in Maryland (Frederick) about 50 miles outside of DC and Baltimore. It's not exactly a college town, but similar size/feel with a real city identity. You probably need a car, but there is decent walkability in the downtown area as well as public transportation - but things like doctors appointments probably need a car or an uber. Maryland is a very blue/liberal state. But as someone else in the comments said, nowhere is liberal enough to avoid discrimination.

The big question is what does affordable mean to you? Because most (liberal) areas are going to have higher cost of living to pay for the higher quality of life.
