With so many out-of-towners around and the start of a four day weekend for many, the night before Thanksgiving has become the biggest going out night of the year…and two of our sponsors have just the right events for you!

Olney Crab House is coming soon to the location that used to be home to The Olney Tavern (18200 Georgia Avenue).
We know that the business had their liquor license hearing earlier this week (photo sent in by Mark Hajjar), so if all goes as planned, we expect it to open in early 2020.
Jeni’s Ice Creams is now open in Bethesda Row (4918 Elm Street).
Founder Jeni Britton Bauer started the chain in 2002 and has amassed a large social media following in recent years. This is the 35th location nationwide and the first in Maryland.
The Kettler brother (Clarence, Milton, and Charles) built Montgomery Village after Clarence had the idea of building a special town.
In 1962, they bought The Walker Farm, Thomas Farm, The Brothers Mills, The French Farm, The Fulks Farm, The Patton Farm, The Wilson Farm, and The James Walter Deppa property. The Walker Farm was the largest of all the properties the Kettlers bought. It was 412 acres and now is Walkers Choice, Cider Mill, Horizon Run, Christopher Court, Dockside, Nathan’s Hill, Millrace, the library, the day care center, Montgomery Village Plaza, Breckenridge, the Verandahs, Grover’s Forge, Lake Whetstone, South Valley Park and part of Lakeforest Mall (courtesy of The Montgomery Village website).
Pictured you’ll see Silia Campanero Di Franco cutting her brother Attillio Campanaro’s hair. The Watkins Mill graduates have moved their salon, Illusions Hair Studio, from the Montgomery Village shopping center to Quince Orchard Plaza.
In 1966, 18-year old Rico Campanero arrived in the United States from Italy, having never given a single haircut. But in 1968 he purchased his first barber shop – Rocco’s located in Silver Spring. Now, six salons later (including locations in Lake Forest Mall and Frederick), 71-year-old Rico, his wife Grace and two of his three children, Attilio and Silia (graduates of Watkins Mill High School) have relocated Illusions Hair Studio from Montgomery Village to Quince Orchard Plaza in Gaithersburg, Maryland due to construction and redevelopment of the Montgomery Village shopping center.
MoCo Hidden Gem: 168 Asian Burrito (Olney)
MoCo has traditionally done a great job with gas station cuisine. I’m not referring to combos, energy drinks, and bubble gum– I’m talking places like Taco Bar, Corned Beef King, Seoul Food and Mangino’s (the last two are no longer located in gas stations)…Now we have 168 Asian Burrito in Olney (18000 Georgia Avenue).

Rita’s closed down for the season as they usually do, but rumors began to swirl when customers noticed the inside being gutted.
We made a couple calls, but couldn’t find out any information until the Olney Chamber of Commerce posted that Rita’s did not renew its lease and has closed permanently.
