Do you remember the ice rink/ mini golf course in Kentlands?

Back in the early 2000s, the plaza area between Crepes-A-Go-Go and Thai Tanium held an ice rink during the winter and a mini golf course in the summer. This venture only lasted for a couple of years, but it was the source of fond memories for many during that time.

Aspen Hill

Nestled in the center of Aspen Hill, Md lies the Aspin Hill Memorial Park, the final resting place of more than 53,000 pets and people. Far from a Steven King novel, Aspin Hill Memorial Park is a place that honors the love between people and their pets. It’s owned by the Montgomery County Humane Society and is open to the public year-around.

Founded in 1921, the memorial’s name comes from a dog-kennel in England–this spelling of “Aspin” is not a typo! Aspin Hill Pet Memorial is thought to be the second-oldest pet cemetery in the United States. Typical pets such as dogs and cats are buried there, but animals like horses and monkeys can also be found.
