Last January we let you know that Java Nation would be moving in to 121 Market Street in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg, which was formerly a Starbucks. Starbucks opened a new Kentlands location at 160 Kentlands Blvd at the beginning of this year that features a drive-thru.

We have been told there were material and equipment delays by manufacturers, initially pushing the opening timeframe from August to October, then November, and more recently January. Yesterday, we spoke with representatives from the Rockville and Kensington locations, who told us that the Kentlands location has been pushed back to late February or early March.

Back in January we told you that Planta, an upscale plant-based restaurant featuring a menu by Chef David Lee, would be coming to 4910 Elm St at Bethesda Row, in the location formerly occupied by Cafe Deluxe (Cafe Deluxe closed permanently back in March of last year). We spoke with a representative from Planta last night who told us that the restaurant is expecting to open early next month (February).

The Joint, an affordable chiropractic care center, is coming to the Montgomery Village Center and will be located between Dollar Tree and the soon-to-be open Moe’s Southwest Grill.

The Joint Corp., a Scottsdale, Arizona based operator and franchisor of chiropractic clinics, opened 130 new clinics across the country in 2021 to bring its national count up to 706. It was originally founded in 1999 by a Doctor of Chiropractic with “a vision to transform the traditional, often misunderstood concept of routine chiropractic care by making it more convenient, friendly and affordable.” In March 2010, The Joint was re-founded with the acquisition of the original eight franchised clinics.

Pay the Price of the Weather for Italian Ice Today in Rockville

Starting today and running through Saturday, Carmen’s Italian Ice at 1115 Nelson St in Rockville is doing their annual “Pay the Price of the Weather” promotion. Whatever the temperature is outside, that’s the price of a small Italian ice (you can substitute gelati for an extra dollar.)

While obviously not a huge money maker for the store, Carmen’s owner Jason Mandler tells us the promotion is a nice treat for their diehards fans and something fun to do during the off-season, when people don’t typically have frozen treats on their mind.

Thursday Morning Update On Potential Snow Friday Into Saturday

By MCS Staff

Published January 27, 2022 at 8:52AM

Back to reality when it comes to winter weather for our area with the last threat never changing over from rain and this one flip flopping until ultimately moving towards a less-snowy solution. Below you’ll see the latest maps from the National Weather Service (from about 4:30am) with most of MoCo in the 1-2 inch range and Bethesda to Burtonsville in the 2-3 inch range.

The “reasonable worst case scenario” map has also dropped to about 2.5-5 inches for the area, which is about half of what it was yesterday. The “low end amount” remains at no snow for our area, so the overall range has dropped to 0-5 inches.
