Beer and trivia. Music with dinner. Yoga and a cocktail.

It will now be easier for breweries, distilleries and restaurants under 10,000 square feet to provide entertainment. The City of Frederick Board of Alderman unanimously approved an ordinance that would allow entertainment as long as it was inside, at least 500 feet away from residential properties — if not in a few specific zones — and was between a set time period, depending on the day.

Local establishment owners hailed the passing of the ordinance as a way of staying competitive with the Baltimore and D.C. markets.

For musicians, especially, the ordinance means more venues in a city that lost three in a span of a couple months.

Business reporter Erika Riley spoke with Andrew Bromhal, of Silent Old Mtns., about the ordinance, as well as a bartender at Olde Mother, where the band was playing.

Paul Foss stood in the what will be a double-wide trailer home. Right now, it looks more like a construction zone.

Walls and floors are planks. People, who are volunteers, were using construction equipment to continue the necessary work.

If Foss has his way, the mobile home construction site will be a mobile home ready for a family. In eyesight of the site is the reason so many people are volunteering to ready the mobile home. It is another mobile home. One that is blackened and charred, with about a third missing, the results of a Nov. 18 fire.

The family who lived there lost everything, Foss told producer Heather Mongilio. So his organization, Waterboyz for Jesus, stepped up to help rehome the family by the winter holidays.

For students, snow days can be a blessing. After all, there is a reason there are many superstitions aimed at making it snow enough for school to be canceled. 

But the Frederick County Board of Education might make a change to snow days that makes them less fun for students. 

The board recently discussed the idea of virtual classes on snow days, where students have assignments that can be completed while at home. 

There are complications and questions unanswered about how virtual classes would work that the board will consider before making a decision.

A witch lives in the woods of Burkittsville. Well, not actually.

But 20 years ago, after the release of “The Blair Witch Project,” concerned viewers and people thought the students, who were really actors, were missing. That was in part due to marketing techniques by Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick, who created a website and flyers that made it appear that the students had disappeared.

That meant calls to the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office, which was listed on promotional materials. Even to The Frederick News-Post.

And the filming did not even take place in woods near Burkittsville. That was in Seneca Creek State Park.

There are still call-backs to Burkittsville in the movie, and features reporter Crystal Schelle and producer Heather Mongilio met at a cemetery in Burkitsville to talk about the movie.
