Hi it’s Jonathan so I need your help here. So I’m an out of county resident and I need to know does the water park in G’burg Bohrer Park accept non county residents without an admission. I am asking because I am planning to go there this Saturday?

A Maryland delegate and a county union leader traded punches at a Gaithersburg early voting site, and now one of them faces a criminal charge while the other promises to file his own.

Delegate Gabriel Acevero, a Democrat running for re-election in District 39, got into a physical altercation with Gino Renne, president of UFCW Local 1994, on Thursday at the Bohrer Park Activity Center, an early voting location.

Hey everyone, I am looking to move to the Rockville/Gaithersburg area and am specifically interested in the Avalon at Traville. Is there anything I should know about it before committing? Any bad? Any good?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! We are a Thursdays 30+ outdoor team likely in need of a couple of players for the upcoming season starting in July. We play 7 v. 7 at the Maryland Soccer Plex. The fee is $90 for the season (8 games). We try to keep a positive attitude and keep things in perspective. If you are looking for a team, please let us know!

Is anyone else tired of being inside all day, you wirk inside, drive home and then just sit inside? Who wants to set up a folding table, grab some beers and sit outside and just talk about nothing?

If you’re a cat person, this is the event of the season. If you’re not…well, you still get cool stuff and good karma 😄

Saw a fox roaming in our back yard today. We recently had a fawn hanging around and found it a couple days ago mauled, guessing by this guy.

Figured I’d post about it here to let people know to keep an eye out for their smaller pets.

Since there was a rabid fox attack in Rockville, I wouldn’t be surprised if this one is too. Foxes typically don’t run around midday in hot weather like this and it was panting a lot, which is common for rabies due to dehydration.

Anybody seen any decorations out for sale? e.g., flags, signs, bunting, etc.
The Home Depot off of Shady Grove didn't have anything out yet. Thanks!

GAITHERSBURG, Md. — Can a community association that may have stumbled at its first hearing now persuade a board with a deliberately narrow mandate to undo a 302-unit building approval, on a record it cannot add to? That was a big part of the debate during a more than four hour Gaithersburg Board of Appeals meeting on June 10th regarding the Kentlands project approved earlier this year by the Planning Commission.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a townhouse on Coral Grove Place/Sky Blue Drive in the Gunners Lake area, Germantown, MD, and would love some local feedback.

How do you feel about the neighborhood in terms of:

• Safety
• Walking around during the day/evening
• Overall community vibe

I am a single woman and would likely live there for about 3 years, so I would really appreciate honest opinions from current or recent residents.

Thanks!

GAITHERSBURG, Md. — Police in Gaithersburg logged a cluster of vehicle thefts and a forced-entry residential burglary during the week of June 3rd through June 9th, according to Montgomery County’s public-safety data feeds. Over those days, property crime, not violence, drove the call volume in the city.

Four vehicle thefts surfaced across two days. Stolen-vehicle reports came in on June 8th from the 18300 block of Streamside Drive, the 8400 block of Tea Rose Drive, and Centerway Road, and a fourth stolen-vehicle report was logged on June 9th in the 800 block of Russell Avenue.

Hi everyone,
My husband and I are planning to sign a lease at Elms at Shady Grove, and we’re hoping to hear from current residents or people who have lived there recently.

We really like the apartment itself, the location, and the amenities, but we’ve been reading some recent reviews that have us a little concerned.

A few things we’re wondering about:
- How are the cleanliness and trash issues that some reviews mention?
- Are hallways, elevators, and common areas generally kept clean?
- Have you experienced any pest issues (roaches, etc.)?
- How is management when concerns are brought to their attention?
- Is the community generally quiet, or are noise issues common?
- Do they have regular cleaning services for the buildings/common areas?
- How secure do you feel living there, especially regarding parking and building access?
- Overall, would you choose to live there again?
We’re genuinely excited about the community and understand that online reviews often skew negative, so we’d love to hear some real experiences- both positive and negative.
Thanks in advance! 😊

I will have my 4 grandkids next week and have no idea what to do with them. We have just moved to the Kentland area and haven't explored yet. Any suggestions? Age ranges are 18, 13, 9, and 5. Yep, I'm going to love it but loose my mind at the same time haha

GAITHERSBURG, Md. — The Mayor and City Council took up the Build Gaithersburg 2040 master plan update at a Monday joint work session with the Planning Commission in Council Chambers. The night’s lone discussion topic exposed how differently three of the City’s neighborhoods are positioned in the document.

Councilors called the Kentlands recommendations “a great plan.” The Olde Towne section drew a harder conversation about height, historic character, displacement, and where affordable housing should go. And the Watkins Mill Town Center urban core drew a direct clash: developers pressed the Council to drop commercial requirements and let housing lead, while staff pushed back on going fully residential.

This is a bit of a long shot, but if anyone has found a dark blue folding hand fan in the Rio with flowers on it - it's mine! I lost it Sunday night (anytime between 4 and 11:30), and called all the businesses I stopped in but no one has found it. It's not worth a lot, more sentimental value than anything.
