I have lived and will in a couple years live in Frederick. I am there often. DirectTv is the obvious alternative, and in my mind, superior.

The town has grown quickly in 30 years. Its a very interesting blend between its rural farmer roots and suburban DC sophistication. As a whole it leans liberal, yer there is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative element as well - enough that kept Roscoe Bartlett in office forever. Jan Gardner is, by all accounts, a great County Executive. Frederick believes in the arts, is very dog-friendly, has a monthly 'festival' on every First Saturday that you should check out.

I wouldn't say there is any specific repeated annoyance of which you should be aware. Learn the one-way streets and don't take forever to parallel park downtown, and you'll be fine.

PM me once you've settled in.
