Metro GM/CEO Paul Wiedefeld announced that Metro is mobile-ready earlier today.
Back in April 2018 Metro announced that Mobile payments will be supported on Metrorail, Metrobus, and regional bus services that accept SmarTrip, but today the announcement came that SmarTrip is coming to iPhone and Apple Watch in 2020.
On Tuesday the MCPS Coaches met to select the 2019 Coaches All-County Volleyball teams. Each varsity coach was invited to participate and vote on the process (all coaches have one vote each).
Here are the 2019 teams.
Hank Dietle’s is coming back soon!
Down the street from Pike & Rose, and close to where White Flint Mall came and went, Dietle’s hasn’t fit in for many decades…but it has managed to outlast almost everything around it.
Keith Lester has been in the special education field for nearly 2 decades– supporting students in various levels as a 1:1, assistant teacher, behavior specialist, and vocational coordinator.
He’s currently a teacher in the Model Asperger Program at the Ivymount School where he teaches social skills. In his spare time, he coach CYO basketball and privately teach social skills for Young & Well. He’s often faced with the challenge of not having an environment for his clients/students to practice learned strategies on a regular basis and more importantly, in real life settings.

With the Popeye’s chicken sandwich still making headlines, MoCo based restaurant Mamma Lucia has decided to throw its hat into the game.
David Kottler, general manager of the Mamma Lucia in Federal Plaza (Rockville), invited me over to give it a shot.
Nats left fielder Juan Soto was all the talk at North Bethesda Middle School this past week. The 21 year old Soto surprised a group of students in the morning as they waited for their bus. We’re told he is friends with a family whose child attends the school, so he decided to stop by and say hello. Soto took pictures with any student who wanted one (photos below) and gave them an experience they’ll never forget in the process.
Soto signed with the Nationals as an international free agent in 2015. He made his MLB debut in 2018 and was the runner-up for the NL Rookie of the Year Award. In 2019, he was a key part of the Nationals’ first World Series championship. He made his professional debut in 2016 with the Gulf Coast League Nationals in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League and was named the Gulf Coast League MVP after hitting .368 with five home runs and 32 runs batted in (RBIs). In September 2016 he was promoted to the Auburn Doubledays of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League for the final few games of the 2016 season. Appearing in six games for the Doubledays, he went 9-for-21 (.429) with three doubles and an RBI. He finished the 2016 season with an overall batting average of .368, five home runs, and 32 RBIs.
