HAGERSTOWN, MD
Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ is a city in Washington County, Maryland. It is the county seat of Washington County, and by many definitions, the largest city in a region known as Western Maryland. The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2010 census was 39,662, and the population of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140.
In 1739, Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania and a volunteer Captain of Scouts, purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land in the Great Appalachian Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Maryland and called it Hager’s Fancy. In 1762, Hager officially founded the town of Elizabethtown which he named after his wife, Elizabeth Kershner. Fourteen years later, Jonathan Hager became known as the "Father of Washington County" after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County, Maryland. The City Council changed the community's name to Hager's-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town’s name.

Georgia is toooo hot in the Summer. I’d say North or South Carolina by the ocean.
Well, if you can make a hairpin lace afghan, you are my newest hero!
I love that video.
I’m on it and would like to stay on it...thanks FRiend...
Good morning KC!
I was born in Oregon. Raised in So Cal (where my sister and lots of family still live). Lived in Sacramento for 25 years after my Army stint in Germany.
Now happily in Oregon last 26 years.
What area of CA are you in? The California beaches are what I miss. But the traffic...oy!
Woops, typo!
I lived in Sacramento 15 years!
I’m old...but not that old!!

OOOO LOVE it, a hero! LOL
I have crocheted since very young. Table cloths, dollies, afghans of all kinds.
From your prediction to God’s ears! Thanks Nikos.
Good morning, Kit cat!!! My kitty is sitting on my lap keeping me still and quiet as I read FR!
Thanks, Nikos!
Saving a seat up front! :-)
WOW just LOOK at our family!!! When this election is over we are going to have to have some kind of family unite party to celebrate our NEW POTUS!!!! Some place in the middle or maybe even Vegas!!!! We could stay at a Trump property!!!!!
Ok, here’s my source: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-10-30/news/1993303002_1_mummers-hagerstown-parade which is admittedly old, so things could have changed.
I’m blaming the MSM for my loss!!
Add me
Thanks
That looks like me...saggy boobs and all!
I live on THE beach in Ventura county, HATE the beach!!!! I thought when I relocated to take care of mom I would love the beach lived in high desert!! So bought on beach, in the summer people park EVERYWHERE half the time I can’t get into my driveway, can’t count the times I couldn’t get out of my driveway had to have cars towed!!! The dust and dirt is unbearable parties and noise on the beach ALL NIGHT LONG!!! The ONLY advantage are property values!!! I would NEVER live ANYWHERE near a beach again!!!
BTW, my wife and I actually met Donald Trump in Las Vegas years ago. We were walking between Mandala Bay and The Luxor properties and there he was, just walking down the hallway in his standard business suit with a couple others. We made eye contact and he stopped briefly to ask us where we were from and how we were doing. We told him we loved his show (The Apprentice). Just a quick, polite exchange but most celebrities would have just kept on walking.
