This morning we spoke with Brad Riddle, a broker at Greater Potomac Realty (a commercial real estate company with offices in Gaithersburg and Kensington), who let us know of Playa Bowls second MoCo location coming soon to Kensington.

Last week we were informed by several customers that The Cuban Corner in Rockville (825 Hungerford Dr. in Saah Plaza) was closed without explanation.
