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.

I helped an IL. State Senator get elected to the US Senate, back in 1998. I delivered campaign materials all over the state. The RINOS would hoard the materials, so that when I made a delivery, the materials would stack up with the non distributed materials, to sit until who knew when... they would go out. The Uniparty in action! They haven’t died or went away!
Lesson duly noted! ;0)
Always enjoy Crowder
Well, I just stuck my nose back into JR’s thread. I made one tiny comment this morning and I don’t see it listed in my comments now. I can only assume it was deleted. LOL
Very cool!
LS was kind enough to send me to his agent, but his agent said that he was swamped and couldn’t devote the time necessary to promote our book. LS’s agent sent me to a website of agents, and I’ve been methodically contacting agents that might handle our type of book.
You mean, unlike a current resident, he will actually work? lol I am so looking forward to that.
Good luck!
Best,
SC
That was a clever Crowder vid.
He needs to stick to those topics.
A heads up, on cRowder.....He’s a big Cruz guy. He is a FReeper, and there is a cRowder ping list I used to be on. I stopped reading/watching, due to his many Trump hits :(
Kasich still on the Fox town hall. Just said there are no rules for the convention and it’s going to be an open convention (close paraphrasing). Now saying he can go to states Republicans can’t go to b/c he’s positive (someone made a comment that Trump is winning in those states). Said delegates are going to make the decision on who they thing should be president
Thank goodness he’s over (I couldn’t take him much longer). Panel is coming up and then Cruz is supposed to be coming up next. Going to switch back and forth with the Hallmark channel. I used to watch Cruz all the time - can’t listen to/watch him now.
Kasich is such a try-hard.
For reference and information.
