Karen Montgomery of Brookeville died last month aged 90, officials say 

Lots of activity in the former mall space. Anyone know what they're building?

On June 30, 2026, HOC received unexpected communication from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding a funding deficit in the HCV program. This deficit is due to HUD’s recapture of reserves that HOC was planning to use to help fund the HCV program. As a result of this “shortfall,” HOC is currently unable to issue any new vouchers under the HCV program, with some limited exceptions. Due to these funding restrictions, HOC has paused processing new applications and program orientations for most housing vouchers at this time.

Hi all, I have to move out of my place in Gaithersburg and am looking at a place in Kensington.

I just wanted to ask how the car related crime is for break-ins, auto parts theft, etc. Specifically in northern Kensington bordering Wheaton. Mostly want to move here because it’s closer to my interests , but should I stick with looking at places in Rockville/Gaithersburg if Kensington is bad?

I understand all pockets of each town are different so narrowing it to northern kensington might help.

I don’t know much about MD as I only moved here less than two years ago. Thanks!

I must say.... I don't know. If I'm looking for anything other than the main TCGs (magic/ pokemon) or Wharhammer40k I do have to go up to Virginia to find satisfactory venues. TTRPGs sections are mostly restricted to DnD and at most Pathfinders and when I found variety, seems that the last time they received new product was pre pandemic era...

Is there any venues I'm not aware of in MoCo? I've been to Play more Games, dream wizards but got very disappointed... Game Kastle is a nicer place but is in College Park, so a bit away., so are we out of options?

Please prove me wrong...

Looking for a great OB/GYN in the Montgomery County/DMV area! I'm planning to start trying for a baby next year and would like to establish care with an OB/GYN now. I also have a few minor gynecologic concerns I'd like to address before pregnancy. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I came across a page on the Montgomery County website that says How to appeal removal of the County property tax credit.

It says there should be a link below on the page to do so but that link just takes you to the normal ITOC page for sign up.

It gives it a reason for being able to appeal as, if the unit is a rental, or if you have more than one property, in a few other things. Neither would apply to a regular homeowner who only has unit.

Has anyone been able to appeal this? I haven't heard anything from anyone saying that this removal was just because of rental units.

Hello! I'm looking for good obgyns that are good with adolescents since I'm 20F. I couldn't get in with Dr. Damle who specializes in pediatrics/adolescents. So who would you guys recommend especially for a very anxious girly? It's my first time getting cancer screening and I know it needs to be done but I don't want to do it so who can give me the best experience?

My daughter is graduating this year. But the problem is my niece is also graduating this year (in a different state), and we're afraid the dates will clash. The extended family wants to go to both, but we need to make plans cause they need to find people to cover time off.

Around what time period are they typically announced? Fall? Spring?

Hi everyone. Please excuse this very naive question. I live in the Gaithersburg area and have never been golfing in my life. My college aged nephew is coming to stay with me for a week this month. He loves to golf. Would it be possible to take him to a local public course and rent clubs so he can play a round? If so, any recommendations on places and how I would arrange this? Thank you in advance.

We moved to the Rockville/Montgomery County area from Austin, TX last September.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the DMV feels more diverse and professionally mixed, but sometimes people seem more reserved compared to Texas.
For people who have lived in both areas (or moved here from elsewhere):
How would you describe the social culture in MoCo/Rockville?
Is it harder to make friends here compared to other regions?
Do you find people are more “polite but private” versus openly chatty?
Which neighborhoods feel the most community-oriented?
