“We continue to evaluate the dynamic public health landscape and believe there may be a need for recurrent boosters to fight both COVID-19 and seasonal influenza,” said Gregory M. Glenn, M.D., President of Research and Development, Novavax. “We’re encouraged by these data and the potential path forward for a combination COVID-19-influenza vaccine as well as stand-alone vaccines for influenza and COVID-19.”

Some grew up with the Maryland Soccerplex being there as far back as they can remember, but for those of us who were around and remember the times before 1999, we know that something else was there before. The following history (and featured photo), dating back to 1913, comes from the King Barn Dairy MOOseum in Boyds:

In 1913 James King purchased a 350 acre farm in between Germantown and Boyds, Maryland from the Lyddane family, and moved in with his new bride, Macie. Over time, as their family grew, the farm flourished as part of the dairy boom that brought wealth to Montgomery County in the Twentieth Century.

By Patrick Herron

Published April 21, 2022 at 11:09AM | Updated April 23, 2022 at 4:37PM

Coming soon signage is up at Crumbl Cookies at 277 Kentlands Blvd in Gaithersburg, next to Panera, in the space that was formerly home to TD Ameritrade. Crumbl Cookies opened its first MoCo location in 2020 at Federal Plaza in Rockville. The chain will also be opening a Germantown location near Wegmans at at 20650 Seneca Meadows Pkwy, in what used to be home to Sprint, next to Sally Beauty.

Opening dates have not been provided for either upcoming locations, but neither seem to be anytime in the very near future as plenty of construction is left to go for both location. We do expect Germantown to come first as permanent signage is now up at the location and construction is ongoing inside.
