While there’s a lot of campaigning left to do, I decided to put together a panel of six people that are pretty involved in the happenings within our county so that we can figure out which candidates may be leading this race a few months before the primaries.

Our panel consists of the following people (top left to right in the photo, then bottom left to right):


Included in the gift basket will be 2 passes to the “Dogfish in Dublin” brunch on Sunday, March 18th ($40 each), Dogfish Head and MoCoShow gear, drinking glasses and a growler, as well as a $25 Dogfish Head gift card! The winner will be chosen on Thursday, March 15th at 7pm at Dogfish Head Alehouse in Gaithersburg!

Contest rules are as follows (you can enter three times in three different ways!):


The renovation of the theater to include reclining seats, upgrades concession offerings, etc. will start soon. It appears as though AMC is upping their game ahead of the Cinepolis Luxury theater that is supposed to arrive just a couple miles down the street in the Kentlands later this year (November 2018). AMC will remain open during renovations.

Earlier this week we broke the news that Dave & Buster’s officially executed the lease with Rio. They are still in the process of acquiring all of the proper permits, but according to the e-mail it is expected to open sometime in 2019.


The arrests were in connection with a shooting in Montgomery Village that killed Wassi Harron Raheem Young, 20, of Hyattsville. He was shot in the afternoon of Feb. 10 in the 8500 block of Hawk Run Terrace and died in the parking lot. Young is still awaiting trial for that case.

Yesterday, the 18 year old Young was sentenced to 24 years in prison for his role in a different crime. According to prosecutors, Young and another man, Timario Gregg, targeted students from Watkins Mill High School in Montgomery Village as they walked back to school from their lunch break. They robbed the students of their cell phones, shoes, and jackets at gun point. Gregg was sentenced to 30 years in prison.


We sifted through the hundreds of MoCo facts we’ve come across and chose these ten to share with you today.

1. Brookeville was the United States capital for a day on August 26th, 1814 after the British troops burned down the White House during the War of 1812.


He is a MoCo kid that played his high school ball in the public school system at Gaithersburg High School. Miller was the team captain his junior and senior year at Gaithersburg. Though he filled out the stat sheet, his numbers weren’t spectacular. As a senior, he averaged 13.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.4 steals per game, while earning first team All-Gazette honors.

The bigger D1 offers weren’t there, but Miller took an offer from Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.


We’re working with Growlers to let everyone know about all of the great things that are happening since GM Jon Thompson took over at the start of 2018.

​We ordered the bacon, egg, and biscuit breakfast. The buttermilk pancakes (3) with eggs and bacon, chorizo burger (my groups favorite), and the fried green tomato Benedict. Also pictured are the Bloody Mary and the Prosecco Punch.
