    Anyone know the new restaurant that they are currently gutting in Clemson Corner next to coal fire?

      For a while, there was a sign in the window that said Jasper’s American Grille.

    Jaspers. I don’t give it very long . The one in Germantown went under as did several others.

      I don’t think its going to be Jaspers…

      http://www.newfrederickrestaurant.com/

      That’s the link at the construction site…

        Out of curiosity, I just googled the phone number given as the contact on that website, and it turns out that it is Jasper’s corporate office phone # – so it is going to be a Jasper’s.

          Posted in the FNP Notices:

          Sweet Salt American Grill
          7810 Worman’s Mill Rd.,
          Suite K
          Frederick, MD 21701

          Is Suite K the Jasper’s location?

    From Baltimore Style magazine: “A recent Baltimore Style Magazine article listed Downtown Frederick as #7 of 50 sublime places to eat, stay and play in the mid-Atlantic!” Quoted from Downtown Partnership’s FB posting. Love love love this town!

    I am not sure what kind of design this restaurant has, but they have dug up the entire slab in the corner building, as well as the breezeway and building on the end nearest to the new restaurant. I wonder why the slab that was there couldn’t be used.

    Just read JoJo’s Restaurant and Tap House is taking over Patrick’s. TJ Maxx opening in the old Borders location on 355.

      Can’t say I’d be sorry to see Patrick’s go. Nice to have a place with good tap beers but never liked the food and sort of uncaring service. Hoping that this is a real change and not just a name change…..

    The website for the supposed “jaspers” is pathetic. Frederick is mispelled for one, and why the whole secret as to what it is? just say what it is. I did go the one in Germantown once and it was nothing special. I dont give it long either.

    I found a menu for one of their other locations. I wonder if the Frederick restaurant will have the same menu. http://www.jaspersrestaurants.com/american_grille/body-Menu.cfm

    I read that Mealey’s Restaurant and Pub in New Market has re-opened, has anyone been there yet? Has anyone been to Milo’s which was Mallard’s in New Market?

    Will the 2 Monocacy Blvds ever connect (the one up by rte 26 & the one that just opened up a new stretch by Costco)? It seems weird to have 2 roads wit the same name on opposite ends of town (and looking at google maps they sort of connect – if Gas House Pk & Farm Ln were called Monocacy Blvd.)

    Thanks!

    • August 9, 2012

      That’s why Gas House is closed right now…the bridge will connect the two.

      It is also supposed to eventually cross over Rt. 15 and connect with Christophers Crossing which will take it down towards Rosemont and the westside of the Fort Detrick properties.

    Sigh….my washing machine started leaking water out the bottom and the part that has to be replaced won’t be in until “sometime next week.” I’m going to need to use a laundromat on Monday. Any recommendations? I don’t know where they are here, but I’ve used enough of them over the years to know they are too often filthy, trashed, creepy. I’d like to find one that’s clean and safe.

        There are two nicer laundry mats on route 40….One behind the Taco Bell, in the shopping center that Aldi’s is in and one in the Shopping Center that Kentucky Fried Chicken is in on Route 40.

        The one that I like is in the shopping center with Bottom Dollar near Ballenger Creek.

      I use the one at 8th and Market. It’s close to home and waayyy less creepy than the one at 5th and East. It’s small and for the most part, the machines are in good working order. On one occasion though, I had a machine fail on the final spin and had to re-wash the entire load. I put an out of order sign (provided) on the machine and filled in my “refund request” never expecting anything. A few days later, I got an apology letter and $3.00 from the laundromat. My claim was for $2.25. Classy.

        This sounds like the best of the worst so I’ll be there on Monday. :) Thank you for the recommendation!
