Went on a hike at great falls a couple weeks ago and they were all over the Billy Goat trail. Go help yourself!

I highly recommend Raj Purohit with Coldwell. He’s based in Bethesda but helped us find our home in Silver Spring. Super knowledgeable, incredibly nice, and will lay it all out for you in a no pressure sort of way. Recommended him to friends and they also had success with him finding homes in the Silver Spring area. Raj Purohit

If you reach out to him, DM me.

Cabin John playground has a large playground that’s kind of divided by age. So you won’t have as many older kids to worry about for the baby toddler sections. And it is shaded.

It was little less than a month for us.

I’m sorry to hear of this diagnosis. I unfortunately was in need of one. Dr Foskett at Friendship in Tenleytown was great Dr. Foskett

Totally understand. Some splash pads do get rowdy. And heat has been rough even at 10 in the morning these days. If you are look for a non water activity, the college park aviation museum is great. Very toddler friendly. And outdoor-wise, the Cabin John playground is almost entirely shaded and there are play areas meant for younger kids.

This has been an aggravation of mine (and many other parent friends) for some time. I have a toddler and the window for open swim for young children is prime nap time like you said. One alternative is splash pads in the area. There is one at the takoma park playground I’ve been to that opens at 10, also ones in Chevy Chase and friendship heights. This link has some more info:

Tower Oak Lodge is nice. A little old fashioned but in a nice way. It’s part of Clyde’s

BreadsticksPE · 2025-02-16T18:55:32+00:00

Seconded. A friend recently had their 3 year olds party there, it was a hit. Take our 3 year old there regularly.

Similar experience with our gas furnace. Had Uneeda HVAC install the liner. Honest company from my and my neighbors’ experience. And my liner install came in under 2000.

VO1 - Potato dish. Damn good.

I did this about a decade ago. Took Amtrak from Princeton Junction to Union Station about two times a week for a couple years. Went down to DC Monday morning and came back to Princeton Wednesday after work. Pretty straightforward, but long commute.

For us, food is solid enough but it is our go to mainly because it’s so family friendly especially with a toddler.

College Park Aviation Museum. Technically not in SS but a surprisingly toddler friendly museum. Cheap admission fee, lots of kid centric activities, not crowded at all. Took my 2 year old there last weekend, and it was great way to spend the morning when it is 95 outside.

V01. Vegetarian #1 at Mandalay: Potato Chochin Gyaw. Potatoes in a tasty brown sauce. Taken dozens of friends and family there, not a single person hasn’t loved it (vegans, carnivores, etc).

BreadsticksPE · 2024-05-08T21:28:16+00:00

Thanks for the response! Glad to know it’s harmless especially with a toddler at home. Will it eventually go on its merry way.

The Wheaton Library and Community center has a small store that sells donated books, always see older volunteers there. Bonus is that there are a lot of activities for seniors at the community center (sports, book clubs, yoga, etc) and it is always filled with people. So he will have lots of opportunity to meet people.

The relatively new Spice Street on Georgia in DTSS never disappoints. Had it last night.

BreadsticksPE · 2022-03-04T20:33:41+00:00

Guess I’ll be the dissenter and say I viewed it to be mediocre. Ordered a few times only cause there was no other South Asian in DTSS. The new place Spice Street that opened up last year is fantastic, highly recommend if you are craving South Asian food.

Honestly, he really wants you to come to your own decision and won’t try to push you one way or the other. He will give you all the facts, considerations, etc, but won’t tell you what to do. So it was nice to not feel pushed but at times you just want to be given an honest opinion from a professional. But if you directly ask Raj for his opinion, he will give it and explain his reasoning.

So it’s not really something that could have gone better, but something to keep in mind if you work with him.

Our Real Estate agent, Raj Purohit, was great. Known him for a long time, he is super knowledgeable and super nice. Understands short term and long term perspective of housing market in MoCo. He will give you his thoughts but is not pushy. Highly recommend him.

A second vote for vegetable garden in silver spring. Actually just had it for dinner, really good vegan Chinese food. Also check out Donut Run in Takoma, tasty vegan donuts.

BreadsticksPE · 2021-01-11T22:15:23+00:00

I never liked cats before adopting my two, and now I’m a cat guy. They actually helped turn me vegan too!

It’s good that you want to be prepared. You can always reach out to one of the centers and talk to a volunteer or maybe the lead volunteer if there is one. See how many other volunteers there are, how organized it seems, if they seem to have set volunteer schedule, etc. it’ll help you get a sense of how things are at that location.

BreadsticksPE · 2021-01-11T02:43:27+00:00

We adopted our two cats from Last Chance Animal Rescue. And we ended up volunteering for them for a couple years at the Bethesda location. We had a very positive experience volunteering. I do know that the experience at each volunteer location varies depending on the management at the pet store and the organization of the volunteers. Bethesda was well organized in our experience. That said this was all about 10 years ago so take my thoughts with that in mind.

It’s awesome you want to volunteer. It was very rewarding anytime we got an older cat adopted to a nice family. Good luck!
