Olney

On March 1st we reported on the new Corned Beef King location at Liberty gas station in Rockville (Rockville Pike and Twinbrook Parkway), but the news of the Olney location closing comes as a shock to us.

​Again, the food truck will remain on site in Olney.

In her early years as queen, she limited herself to a ceremonial role, but her fascination with the French culture led to a friendship with Andre Malraux, then the French culture minister. Due to this friendship, she arranged for the trade and exchange of cultural artifacts between Iran and France. The relationship between the Iranian and French museums and art galleries lasted until the Islamic revolution in 1979.

Though it remained open until 2002,The Corner Kick was the premier sporting facility in MoCo from 1984-2000 (2000 is when the Maryland SoccerPlex opened in germantown and the Rockville SportsPlex opened in Rockville). The Corner Kick hosted indoor soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, and volleyball leagues as well as some of the best kid’s birthday parties many in our area have ever been a part of.

One of the biggest attractions for The Corner Kick was the restaurant/pub that overlooked the fields. A gazette article from 2002 quotes co-owner Derek Oldham as saying the pub accounted for almost 50% of the facility’s business. The article also mentions an adult volleyball league known as “Bump, Set, Drink” that consisted of over 200 players that often stayed at the facility until 2am playing and drinking…sometimes simultaneously.
