A utility pole has fallen onto the power lines on Nicholson Lane in Rockville in front of Far East Restaurant after a vehicle struck the pole late last night causing a vehicle fire.
The driver was evaluated and refused transportation. The pole was sheared in half and a wheel from the vehicle ended up in a nearby Pizza Hut.

Per a press release by Federal Realty, Bark Social, the first “dog bar” in the Mid-Atlantic region, is coming to Pike & Rose! According to the plans for Bark Social, there will be a professionally monitored off-leash dog park in addition to a space with a craft beer and coffee bar. Bark Social will be open year round, as the space will be indoor/outdoor.
Bark Social plans to open in September and will be located at 935 Prose Street, which is adjacent to Rose Park and next to Julii and Jinya.
The Beach at Pike & Rose has a new addition– a sign stating that there are plans for it to be demolished. This may come as a surprise to many, but the intention was for The Beach to be temporary. It was constructed right before Summer of 2018 and was only supposed to last until Labor Day of that year. Due to popular demand, the beach was kept open much longer.
We are told that even though The Beach is disappearing, something equally fun and entertaining will replace it. We don’t have any official word on its replacement just yet.
