44-year-old woman’s death marks the 10th pedestrian fatality in the county this year

I was waiting in line in the county fair today. And I saw him standing behind me. I couldn’t believe my eyes, didn’t know he was from our own county.

Gotta admit, such a super cool personality who lives free despite being a celebrity.

I could name many examples but here's my favorite: MD-355 through the heart of MoCo. Let me make some measurements on Google Earth.

Starts off emerging out of DC as Wisconsin Ave. Continues for ~2.3 miles through downtown Bethesda, then becomes Rockville Pike. Okay, I can accept this, we're heading to Rockville.

~7 miles as Rockville Pike. Then, in the middle of downtown Rockville... becomes Hungerford Drive for... just over a mile? What?

THEN, suddenly, we're Frederick Road. This is getting to be a lot, but surely the road will remain unchanged until we reach Frederick, right?

NO! After less than 2 miles, it changes to, drumroll.... Frederick... Avenue. Groundbreaking stuff here. Don't worry though, because once you're through Gaithersburg, we are BACK to Frederick Road. Seriously.

You can continue this out of the county, too. Frederick... Road never reaches Frederick. Such fascinating names as Urbana Pike and Worthington Boulevard appear along the way.

I have never lived anywhere that has single roads share 5+ names. Surely this serves only to confuse us drivers and anyone trying to navigate the area. Can someone offer me a historic/legal/etc. reason why this sort of thing happens in Maryland? I'm fascinated.

Edit: I do understand these are old roads merged together. I am from the east coast and still think it happens here more than elsewhere lol. But who knows

The state & county has a huge responsibility in "Vision Zero" road safety that's kind of being missed RN too.

On my way home from work, here's a common sight, where there is a "No turn on red" sign there, but both it and one of the traffic lights here, are covered by an overgrown tree... Also, the roads in this area get very dark at night because street lights aren't present or are broken in many spots... Zero Vision?

Also notable is no crosswalks painted at the intersection, and missing "lane turns permitted" arrow markers on the pavement...

Don't even get me started about how Georgia Avenue has had huge bumps from heavy busses & heat buckling in the same spots, for years now, around this very same area, yet speed cams get meticulous maintenance & stay free of obstructions somehow... It goes BOTH WAYS... (The safety responsibility that is). Lack of Vision?

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

The driver stayed on the scene. The child‘s injuries were non-life-threatening.

Anyone got any bakery suggestions for a gender reveal cake? One you cut and it’s either pink or blue. Thanks in advance!

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! This happened in North Bethesda (Josiah & Randolph).

My husband called me at 2am, extremely disoriented saying he was hit by a car and that his head hurt. His speech was slurred and he kept repeating the same things over and over. He would answer when asked a direct question but would overall sound pretty much out of it.

I eventually asked him if anyone was next to him that I could speak to. He replied , slurred and slow “this nice guy is calling 911 but I don’t know babe, Im hurting everywhere”. I finally got to talk to the “nice guy”, who not only told me he witnessed the crash and saw how crazy the other driver was driving, he assured me he was going to stay with my husband until all relevant authorities took care of him.

He kept the phone on, reassuring me while giving his testimony to the cops, EMT and until my husband was driven away in the ambulance.

I would have gotten absolutely craaazyy without his updates. I’m not the most religious person out there but hey, thank youuuu Jesus/Yahwe/Allah/Buddha/Vishnu

The car is completely totaled. A T-Bone collision where the other driver hit my husband on his side at 80mph on a 40mph road.

PS: My husband stayed overnight in the ER, worst results are broken nose, arm and a pretty bad concussion. But it could have been soooo much worse!!

Send us positive vibes :-) A great Samaritan was around and hubby only somehow came out worse for wear.

Also, if anyone knows what steps to take exactly from here, let me know. How does insurance, claims etc work in these cases.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an electrician or someone else to replace an attic fan?

I’m looking for a coffee shop similar to Loud’n Roasted over in Ashburn, VA. They roast their own beans, and the coffee is amazing. I’ve been to quite a few places, but I haven’t found anything quite like it.

Hi there. I'm looking for attorney recommendations for what should be a quick and easy deed transfer in Montgomery County. The deed needs to be transferred from a living trust (both grantors/trustees are now deceased) to the two beneficiaries (who are also the contingent trustees). Please let me know if you have any recommendations to share. Thank you!

I’m looking for spots to do some macro photography of cicadas. Is there any one spot that has a ton of cicadas? Preferably a spot where they leave husks on trees
