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 Fire and Rescue units were called to the scene of a collision that occurred in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg just before 9am this morning.
Upon arriving, they encountered two people trapped inside a vehicle that was driven through the brick Kentlands Square signage outside of Panera.
A little over a year ago, Chef Victor Albisu announced that the first Maryland location of Taco Bamba would open in Rockville’s Congressional Plaza in Spring 2021 (the restaurant opened in June 2021). The cult favorite takeout taqueria’s newest location will be in Quince Orchard Plaza in Gaithersburg.
The new restaurant will be located in the space that was formerly home to Urban Crawfish at 670 Quince Orchard Road, next to the upcoming Miyaji Kebab and Rumali Rolls (which is next to Beers & Cheers Too).
Rockville Man Charged With First Degree Murder in Connection With Lakeforest Mall Stabbing Last Week
Detectives from the Montgomery County Department of Police Major Crimes Division – Homicide Section, have arrested and charged a Rockville man in connection with a homicide at the Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg.
On Monday, February 21, Gaithersburg City and Montgomery County Police officers responded to Lakeforest Mall, located at 701 Russell Ave. for a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers located 23-year-old Jose Alexander Maldonado suffering from multiple stab wounds. Maldonado was transported to an area hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue units were called to the Kentlands neighborhood in Gaithersburg to respond to a vehicle fire adjust before 10am this morning.
The vehicle, which is described as a “trash truck”, was found on fire and it was quickly extinguished by firefighters.
The victim of last Monday’s stabbing at Lakeforest was Jose Alexander Maldonado. A coworker described Maldonado as someone who “stayed out of trouble” and told us the attack appeared to be unprovoked. One of Maldonado’s former teachers remembers him as “a nice young man” who he ran into a few times since teaching him a few years back. “He was a good kid who became a good man and went out of his way to catch up with me every time he saw me.”
His mother, Silvia Maldonado, has started a GoFundMe to raise funds for funeral expenses. According to the fundraiser description, Jose was the only one in the family with an income and helped his mother raise her three children. His brother, Christian Maldonado, tells us his family has been residents of Montgomery County their whole life.
