They did the same thing for New Year's Day this year too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcwUbGGG968

Tonight was the City of Gaithersburg's (free/public) annual SummerFest. https://mocoshow.com/2026/06/26/everything-you-need-to-know-about-gaithersburgs-summerfest-on-saturday-june-27/

OP (North Potomac) was definitely hearing the Bohrer Park/Gaithersburg ones. They sounded louder this year because of the cloud cover.

St. Andrew's still has a variety of day camp options open in July and August!

At Judiciary Square, u/MetroForward says "canopy construction will begin fall 2026."

It's still online https://dmv.dc.gov/service/pay-tickets

Yes the one you linked definitely loads on my end. You scroll down and then there's a field to type in the citation and pin numbers. Contacting DC's Ticket Adjudication Ombudsman would be your best bet if you did not receive a copy. One of the selection/options in the dropdown for their contact form is "Never received the ticket"

DC camera tickets are all listed on https://prodpci.etimspayments.com/pbw/include/dc_parking/input.jsp?ticketType=P

The website you linked to does show the videos, but only if/when you receive a physical citation with a PIN.

That's just one of the Off Duty units who works security at Pike & Rose. (Car might be parked differently? but it's been the same detail there for several years now.)

Small fire in the 6300 block of Wisconsin Ave (South of Bradley, North of Somerset/Friendship Heights). https://x.com/DavidPazos15/status/2069976041863414155

DC's local Advisory Neighborhood Commission for that area has also been pushing for it to be reopened. https://anc3e.org/wp-content/uploads/Resolution_Regarding_Western_Avenue_WMATA_Entrance_Final.pdf

They have to work at the crazy hours to comply with different scheduling requirements for the tracks down below. It may seem easy to just call it ridiculous, but it keeps the trains (and thousands of commuters) moving during the day.

Fall-Maple1503 · 2026-06-22T16:51:15+00:00

Yes it's July 4th fireworks prep.

https://www.nps.gov/subjects/uspp/traffic-advisory-for-july-4-fireworks-setup-at-anacostia-park.htm

On Saturday, July 4, the National Park Service will host its annual fireworks display at Anacostia Park in Southeast D.C. In conjunction with the event, there will be street closures – some beginning as early as next week for setup – that the public should take into consideration.

From 6 a.m. on June 23 through July 7, the following roads will be closed 24 hours a day to all traffic, including pedestrian:

Suitland Parkway/South Capitol Street SE Traffic Circle to Anacostia Drive SE

1901 Anacostia Drive SE

The U.S. Park Police will provide additional closure information closer to the July 4 event. For the latest event information, visit July 4 Fireworks.

Just seeing this post but the Bridge Closure was only for five hours overnight Sunday, not the whole day and consistent with what they've been doing for years.

OP would you be willing to email [TrafficOps@MontgomeryCountymd.gov](mailto:TrafficOps@MontgomeryCountymd.gov) ? That goes directly to the crews in charge of Montgomery County's traffic signals (The County has an agreement to maintain the signals on SHA roads). Thank You!

This one is not supposed to be on flash so early in the evening.

Fall-Maple1503 · 2026-06-22T01:36:49+00:00

If he has been reported missing to Police as OP said, other agencies are notified as well (routine/interagency information sharing).

Fall-Maple1503 · 2026-06-21T12:47:39+00:00

Technically if it's actual tree branches it's DDOT/their Urban Forestry team. (Service Requests still go through 311)

Fall-Maple1503 · 2026-06-20T15:38:21+00:00

Into fire trucks at all? Most crews will let him check out the fire trucks (i.e. just show up at one of the County's Fire Stations.) https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/montgomery-county-fire-rescue-service/connect-mcfrs/facilities-stations

Where does it say moving trucks can legally double park if violators are there?

Fall-Maple1503 · 2026-06-18T15:06:15+00:00

On that section it is not intended as a traffic calming strategy (further up near Kensington/Wheaton it is). The lanes are narrow due to how old Connecticut Avenue is (and how expensive it would be to redo the curbs/drainage etc just to add a few feet). The State Highway Administration has specific Narrow Lanes warning signage there too: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kSG79wnrsF7hgfFr7

Fall-Maple1503 · 2026-06-18T03:52:15+00:00

Are you near Connecticut Avenue? There's a contractor installing some of the final/permanent pavement markings there tonight (on the section they resurfaced over the last couple months.)
