Yet again, something wrong with the school building. This place is 55 years old and should have been replaced or significantly remodeled years ago, but no.

My son just texted me (school just let out) this photo with a note that they found asbestos in the A hallway (that's what the neon yellow sign is up near the ceiling). Now, I realize that schools of this age are going to have asbestos in them. It's just a fact. But this is something that's been known for 2 weeks and I guess just now students are realizing this? He said teachers seemed to not be aware themselves based on their reactions when he pointed it out.

I'm just frustrated for him because if it's not one thing, it's another. He was in the auditorium when some of the ceiling came down during the spring musical. He was there when the HVAC completely failed and they had no AC for weeks. In the summer, he was in the building and was in faculty bathroom and the ceiling was coming down. Let's not even mention the fights and other threats that have occurred.

We actually do like this school for its staff, but it just seems like the ignored stepchild of MCPS.

Just wanted to put this discussion out there since early voting has commenced and the polls open next week. Who is everyone voting for, for county executive and other important positions, and why? I have been very busy this election cycle so I have not had as much time to educate myself ahead of time. I’d love to discuss with fellow MoCo peeps!

Why do you think these disparities continue to persist?

Are the brick and mortar restrooms still open at Cabin John Park or have they been locked for the season? Thanks

Hello,

I witnessed a vehicle strike a pedestrian on Woodfield Road (MD 124) in Gaithersburg on October 25, 2026, at approximately 8:30 PM.

My dashcam recorded the incident. There was on more car infront of me and behind the car in question. I observed the driver stop and check on the victim before I left the scene. I don't know if anyone or police want the dashcam video.

UPDATE: Video has been shared with the police.

I'm not allowed to ask questions of county leadership because I'm not a real journalist, but I would love to know when MCPD is going to start enforcing traffic laws in the county. The number of people senselessly killed and maimed on county roads should be what's truly embarrassing.

In the early 1900's, illegal bars and gambling operations filled a stretch of Conduit Road (now called MacArthur Blvd.) near Glen Echo, just on the Maryland side of the the DC/MD border, taking advantage of a strip of land where Montgomery County and the Federal Government couldn't agree on law enforcement jurisdiction.

Anybody know what’s going on near Veirs Mill and Connecticut?

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone in the Montgomery County community may be able to help. I was involved in a car accident on October 17, around 12:30 PM, near Exit 4A for Montrose Road in Montgomery County, Maryland.

I was entering the exit lane and began merging with my turn signal on when the collision occurred. I’m trying to locate anyone who may have witnessed the accident or whose dashcam might have captured the incident.

If you were driving in the area around that time, or if you have dashcam footage that may show what happened, I would sincerely appreciate it if you could send me a private message.

Any footage or firsthand information could be very helpful in clarifying the sequence of events for the insurance investigation.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any assistance you can offer. I truly appreciate it!
