Right now, at 5:39 PM EST Wed, July 22nd, 2026. Someone else spotted them over on Clara Barton Parkway earlier today; looks like they're ramping up.

They're in a black SUV, unmarked, right as you pull into the Home Depot. They had their windows down and I was able to peek in as I drove past to verify they weren't just regular unmarked MoCo police or Feds of another flavor.

At 7:45, Wednesday, July 22, ICE is stopping vehicles on the Clara Barton Parkway at the McArthur Boulevard turnoff.

"North Bethesda" area. This was the most active cloud to ground storm I've seen with good visibility since moving here last year. Still not quite what I was used to getting in Atlanta, but my lightning photography skills were getting rusty so I'll take it.

Come on Ehrlich, give us our data centers 😍

My dog didn’t like the Amazon driver 🫠

Thank you in advance!

We’re originally from Texas and used to use a long car wash with a motorized belt that had colorful foam and flashing lights. My daughter wants to find the same experience in MoCo. Any nominations for most entertaining car wash experience?

Where can I get a wash and blue dry for my hair near Rockville? I had surgery on my hand and I can't fix my hair. Thanks in advance.

This Disability Pride Month, we sent Otus on a very important mission, to investigate some of the accessible amenities across Montgomery Parks. Here are the clues he found:

Clue #1- Adventure for more people! The accessible carousel at Ovid Hazen Wells helps more visitors experience fun together with an inclusive design for a wider range of riders.

Clue #2 - Fishing with ease! Adaptive fishing equipment and accessible piers allow more people to join in on the fun closer to the water

Clue #3 – Super smooth launch! Adaptive kayaking equipment like this accessible launch feature helps more visitors experience time out on the water.

Clue #4 – Fitness for everybody! Accessible outdoor fitness stations help more community members stay active while enjoying time in the park.

Final Clue - Everybody belongs! Communication boards and sensory-friendly amenities help create more welcoming and supportive park experiences.

So, what did Investigator Otus discover? That accessibility helps more people explore, play, connect, and enjoy Montgomery Parks together. Check out Montgomery Parks’ accessibility webpage to learn more about adaptive equipment and amenities: mocoparks.org/Access

The park has removed the trash cans from the bathrooms at Fletchers, Carderock, Anglers and Great Falls (Tavern).

Per NPS - "We've removed all trash cans from the restrooms as part of our initiative to maintain a trash-free park. We're aiming to keep these facilities cleaner and encourage everyone to pack out their trash, as per park policy".

So please be prepared to pack out your trash.

Hi! I (35F) am new-ish to the area and am looking for a salon or stylist that excels with long, thick curly\wavy hair. Cost isn’t a huge concern; I just want a decent cut with layers that won’t turn me into a triangle head. Thanks in advance!

Recently moved here and trying to get a fall garden planted. I got some patio veggies for summer from the garden center closest to me and honestly wasn’t super impressed at the selection.

So I’d love to know if anyone has a favorite local garden center, especially if it has a good selection of fall starts and super bonus points if I can get pelleted carrot seed without having to order it.

I’m in Gaithersburg but will to drive to organic and/or heirloom varieties!

Thanks!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a business accountant or CPA in the DMV who specializes in working with construction companies?

I own a construction company and I'm looking for someone who really understands the industry: job costing, retainage, WIP schedules, progress billing, subcontractors, equipment, etc. I'm looking for more than just someone to file taxes. If you've had a great experience with an accountant, I'd really appreciate any recommendations

I’m glad the fence was there to stop them

Hello, I’ve recently become the guardian of my 13 year old half sister. (Prior to this I did not know her.) She fled the war from Iran and has been staying with my partner and I the last couple of months. She was in school for a couple of weeks and that particular public school seems to be overburdened and to not have the…best ESOL program for her. Her first language is Farsi though her speaking English is rapidly improving.

I’m looking for recommendations for public or private schools in the area for eighth grade. I’m willing to move. A good ESOL program, and a school where teachers have time to sit one on one sometimes is the most important, a school with at least some Persians would be nice but that’s secondary. Also any leads into schools that have situations of either working with refugees or children of diplomats would be awesome, because while neither is the same situation, it would be great to come across a school where a student readjusting from another country, with very different norms, is nothing new.

Thank you.

My PS3 has an issue where sometimes it will reads discs but struggles most of the time now. I'm new-ish to the area. Wondering who I could take it to here where they're used to dealing with repairing and sprucing up older consoles?

They don’t last.

Moved to the area recently, wondering what the EDM/rave/LGBT bar scene is like. (Or if there even is one this far from DC)
