You might know actress Uzo Aduba from her role as Suzanne Warren (also known as “Crazy Eyes”) in the Netflix show Orange is the New Black… but did you know that Uzo has MoCo ties?
In 2003, Aduba performed in the show Translations of Xhosa at the Olney Theatre. She was a student at Boston University at the time and was in the MoCo area for that summer during the span of the production. She earned a Helen Hayes nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the role that she played.
During the June 1st City Council meeting, the City of Gaithersburg discussed a proposed amendment that would potentially change the voting age from 18 to 16 in city elections.

Tomorrow (June 1) at 6 PM, the City of Takoma Park will host a moment of reflection and a call to action event. This event will feature several Takoma Park leaders and activists, acting as “a united front, [to] take a public stance against racism.” The event will be held via radio broadcast on Takoma Park Radio Station 94.3 FM.
The event page on the Takomaparkmd.gov website has posted the following message:

Jimmie Cone has announced that both locations are back open for business starting TODAY.
Per Jimmie Cone:
The Beach at Pike & Rose has a new addition– a sign stating that there are plans for it to be demolished. This may come as a surprise to many, but the intention was for The Beach to be temporary. It was constructed right before Summer of 2018 and was only supposed to last until Labor Day of that year. Due to popular demand, the beach was kept open much longer.
We are told that even though The Beach is disappearing, something equally fun and entertaining will replace it. We don’t have any official word on its replacement just yet.
