In one of the comments a reader mentioned that the Harris Teeter in the same shopping center could be closing. I reached out to the reader, but wasn’t able to get a response.
After doing some research, I was able to find that the Harris Teeter rumor began due to listings on multiple commercial real estate websites. While Harris Teeter is listed, the available space is much smaller (just over 3,000 square feet).
NVRetail didn’t want to reveal which restaurant will be moving in just yet, but I’m told that the restaurant coming in has one other MoCo location.
I’ll make sure to share any news as soon as I get it. May the speculation begin…

With more facts being provided by court documents filed in his case, we wanted to provide an update on Alwin Chen, the 18 year old Clarksburg High School student charged with bringing a loaded gun to school.
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.

A couple months ago, I had the opportunity to drive through Barnesville (located between Clarksburg and Poolesville). Not many of us get to see this side of MoCo often, so […]
