Rambo in Lake Whetstone???

By MCS Staff

When MoCoShow reader Igor Gindin was perusing old articles from The Washington Post, he came across a story highlighting Rambo’s trip to Montgomery Village. The story may not be as farfetched as it seems, due to Rambo star Sylvester Stallone growing up in Montgomery County, but it’s not exactly what you’d think…

It was July of 1985, and Rambo: First Blood Part II had been released just two months earlier. The movie was now playing at Roth’s Quince Orchard Theater in Gaithersburg. Roth’s was a small theater- the box office was on the outside and there were two theaters when you walked in (one on the left and one on the right). It ended up closing in 1990 when the theaters opened at nearby Rio Washingtonian.

Montgomery County Council to Resume in Person Meetings on March 15; Meetings Open to the Public, Attendees Must Provide Proof of Vaccination

By Patrick Herron

During yesterday’s Montgomery County Council meeting, Council President Gabe Albornoz announced that beginning March 15, the council’s Tuesday meetings will be open to the public. Due to the pandemic, the meetings have been virtual for the past two years.

Attendees of the meetings will have to show proof of vaccination before entering.  Albornoz told WTOP, “I think the optics are not negative; I think they are positive. We want to encourage county residents to have their vaccinations, and fortunately, over 90% of county residents are vaccinated,” when asked if a government agency placing restrictions on attendance to a public meeting could cause bad optics.

Progress at the Upcoming Woodward High School on Old Georgetown Road

By MCS Staff

Charles W. Woodward High School opened in 1966. Two decades later, in 1987, its students were merged into Walter Johnson High School. Woodward and Walter Johnson High Schools had the same diminished enrollment levels, but MCPS decided to preserve Walter Johnson given the schools larger capacity

After a brief period as a holding school while Springbrook High was being renovated, the building was used to house Tilden Middle School while that school’s facility began a major renovation project. Tilden relocated to its new building during the summer of 2020.
