Bark Social, the first dog bar in the Mid-Atlantic region, is one step closer to arriving after securing its liquor license and final permits before constructing the building.

The 25,000 square foot dog park will also have a 2,500 square foot covered patio and will even incorporate The Beach into its park. It will be kid friendly and fenced off from the dog park. It will also be FREE to use.


MoCo Libraries Offer a New Way to Celebrate National Read a Book Day

Every year on September 6, readers come together to celebrate National Read a Book Day. Normally, this day could be well spent by visiting a local library and bringing a stack of books back home. Right now, you might be hesitant to collect books from your local Montgomery County Public Library. Did you know that our MoCo libraries have a new reading app?


Montgomery County will remain in Phase 2 as the State moves to its Phase 3 reopening, which went into effect today at 5 p.m. Montgomery County’s current case count is higher than it was when the County entered Phase 2 several months ago. Daily case counts in late June when the County entered Phase 2 averaged 67 cases per day. The current seven-day average of new confirmed cases is 85.

Venues such as indoor and outdoor restaurants may now include live performances as part of their dining experience. However, establishments are prohibited from allowing dancing or congregating in front of the performers. Individuals present must still wear masks unless they are eating or drinking (and they must be seated while eating and drinking). The new live-music guidelines go into effect immediately. On Wednesday evening, the Governor announced that more activities would be allowed under Phase 3; they are being reviewed to determine if the County could also allow some version of those activities.


MoCo officials officially launched the County’s first four Ride On electric buses with a ceremonial “unplug” event.

Following the event, the media will have an opportunity to speak with the officials and get video inside the buses and at other designated areas of the maintenance and transit operations facility including bus sanitizing demonstrations and sneak peak of new Flash buses.


The Montgomery County Sports Hall of Fame (MCSHF) today named six local sports figures to be inducted as the 2020 class. The six inductees will be honored in a virtual ceremony on Sunday October 18th at 7pm.

Terrapin broadcaster Johnny Holliday (Kensington resident) will be joined by MLB player Curtis Pride (Kennedy HS), field hockey coach Amy Wood (B-CC), three-time NFL champion and ex-Washington Senator Tom Brown (Blair HS) local tennis great Jeri Ingram (Springbrook HS) and the late high school football coach Roy Lester (Richard Montgomery, Paint Branch, and Magruder).
