MoCo

If you’ve ever shopped at Traville Village, Travilah Square, or Fallsgrove Village Center in Rockville, you’ve been within walking distance of a campus with over 60 undergrad and grad degree programs but like me, probably had no idea it even existed.

Basically how it works is that students find the university offering their chosen major at USG and apply directly there. On the application, they can choose Shady Grove as their preferred campus location, but they still get the same professors, take the same classes, and earn the same diploma as they would if they went to that school’s main campus.

Gaithersburg

MOD Pizza, which specializes in serving individual artisan-style pizzas and salads “superfast” since 2008, will be opening in the Kentlands later this year. It will be located on Center Point Way, across from Cinepolis, next to the old Healthy Back location.

Cinco De Mayo, a Mexican Restaurant and tequila bar, will be moving in to 640 Center Point Way. It will take over the old Healthy Back location.


Bethesda

At that time we were not given confirmation, but I just got off the phone with a Lifetime employee from the Rockville/Potomac location and was told that they will be opening a Montgomery Mall location “within the next couple years.”

I asked if that meant the location on Seven Locks Road would close and was told that the plan is to keep all three MoCo locations open (Gaithersburg, Rockville/Potomac, and the new Bethesda location).


Maryland

Since the General Assembly passed the bills by veto-proof margins, it is expected that a vote will take place in the coming days to override the governor’s veto.

In 2016, Hogan’s executive order mandated that all Maryland public schools must start after after Labor Day and end by June 15th. If the override occurs, the new bill would allow school districts to start prior to Labor Day, as MCPS has done in recent years prior to the executive order.
