About The MoCoShow
The MoCoShow was created by “Mr. MoCo” Alex T to be the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to get your Montgomery County information. The name came about because The MoCoShow started as a podcast back in 2015. The MoCoShow is entirely based on the internet and social media. On The MoCoShow website, Facebook page, YouTube page, and Instagram/Twitter/TikTok (@TheMoCoShow) accounts you will see a wide variety of content that is primarily MoCo based, but sometimes goes beyond that. You’ll see vintage photos, hidden gems, cool places to eat, things to do, and the latest news about the county we all love. Late 2018 marked a new era. We went from one or two articles per day to trying to get you as much news, information, and entertainment as we possibly can.
