April is World Autism Awareness Month and Saturday; April 2, 2022, is World Autism Awareness Day. Each year, the Rockville city council and mayor recognize World Autism Awareness Day and World Autism Awareness Month with a proclamation.
Per the City of Rockville:
Back in August of 2020 we let you know that HalfSmoke would be opening a Rockville location in Rockville Town Square. We have been unable to get any updates on that location, but the upcoming Montgomery Mall location has a hearing with Montgomery County’s ABS for a beer, wine, and liquor license on Thursday, April 14 at 1pm.
The upcoming Montgomery Mall location will be located in in a kiosk in the food terrace, in the location that was the former home of Coldstone Creamery and more recently Gelato Galaxy.
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue units responded to a call for a fire on Wednesday evening at approximately 6pm on Walkers Choice Road in Montgomery Village.
Upon arriving, firefighters helped evacuate the three story apartment building and began fighting the fire on the first floor/terrace level of the apartment.
Defendants Carried Out 10 Robberies Within Four-Week Period
Per the U.S. Attorney’s Office:
The owner/operator of Olney’s Chick-Fil-A restaurant has announced that he will be relocating to Georgia to open a new Chick-Fil-A in Savannah. In his letter to the community he wrote that a new owner would be in place by July and that the Chick-Fil-A corporate offices would be running the restaurant from April until then, asking for grace during the transition period. The full message can be seen below:
“Dear Chick-fil-A Olney Community,
Robert Wiedmaier’s Mussel Bar & Grille in Bethesda (7262 Woodmont Ave) will be closing permanently on April 9th, according to an employee of the restaurant. It was the first of multiple locations that opened in Bethesda in July of 2010. A second location opened in Atlantic City, N.J, and a third opened in Ballston. The Atlantic City location has since closed and the Ballston location remains open.
Per its website, “inspiration for Mussel Bar is an old-world Belgian roadhouse serving Bière, Moules & Frites, the kind of place where Chef in his youth would head late night to unwind with kitchen colleagues, eat simple food and listen to good music. He’s one of the first to ‘muscle’ the craze and honor his Belgian roots in the DC area with bringing the savory mollusks to the forefront of his own gastro-pubs with the original location in Bethesda, MD that opened in July, 2010.”
Foxtrot, the modern corner store, café and delivery market, has announced its continued DMV expansion with the opening of its first Maryland location at Bethesda Row (7262 Woodmont Avenue). It will be moving in to the space currently occupied by Mussel Bar & Grille, which will be closing in April.
Foxtrot will serve as a neighborhood destination where Bethesda residents can gather to grab a coffee, enjoy a meal, or pick up pantry staples and a bottle of wine.
We first let you know the news of Wawa’s impending arrival in May of 2019. Wawa will be taking over the old Becraft Antiques location on 355, across from Gaithersburg High School at 405 S Frederick Ave. Nearly 3 years later, fencing has gone up and demolition has begun in preparation for construction at the first MoCo location for the convenience store/gas station that serves fresh and built-to-order foods, beverages, coffee, and more.
Construction for the recently opened Royal Farms location in Gaithersburg took just under one year from start to opening day, so we expect a first half of 2023 opening for Wawa if construction begins as anticipated. There have been plenty of delays, so there are no guarantees.
Per the City of Rockville:
The Mayor and Council will continue to hold hybrid meetings. The public is welcome to participate in person or virtually, until further notice.
At the end of January we let you know that AMC would be taking the place of ArcLight in Montgomery Mall (7101 Democracy Blvd).
The theater opened on March 2nd, but MacGuffins Bar remained dark. MacGuffins is AMC’s in-house bar that offers beer, wine, and mixed drinks to moviegoers.
