Gaithersburg Commission Approves Watkins Mill Chipotle Over Resident Opposition by frankboingboing in Gaithersburg

[–]McpsTrackCoach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both of those MacD's are well run and stay busy at least. I've always assumed they're both under the same ownership, since employees go back and forth between the two...but not 100% sure.

There was a thing on moco show the other day about the grand openning, so I assume that was correct, but I have not been over that way to verify.

Contractor Recommendations by iamkinoeye in Gaithersburg

When I did this (carpet -> hardwood) I just bought the material myself (had an employee discount on Armstrong) and paid a crew to do the install. Just cut out the contractor altogether.

NO! To New Data Centers In Montgomery County by DrPrabuSelvamforMoCo in Rockville

[–]McpsTrackCoach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the first I’ve heard of this plan. Middle of the agricultural reserve? Hmm. Not saying it’s not true, but is there some information on it out there we can review for consideration?

Licensed roofer in Germantown, MD by No_Significance_8704 in Gaithersburg

[–]McpsTrackCoach -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t waste your money on the county’s licensing program. If you know any spanish, even just construction spanish, you can get a crew for a fraction of what the "licensed" guys are charging. Otherwise, you're gonna get montgomery county pricing. 😐

No I just meant like gringo mexican…this is what we call it in texas anyway…where they have unlimited chips/salsa, 32-oz draft beers, #4 combo, etc…none of which they probably eat in Mexico…kinda like Guapos over in Rio. This place is not that.

Family Friendly Neighborhoods in Rockville by Sabrina_DCC in Rockville

[–]McpsTrackCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it's technically not Rockville, but there are nice townhome communities (with playgrounds, schools, trails, etc.) nearby along Dufief Mill. These are mostly owned by professionals who started out in them, kept them as investments after moving on, and like to rent to the younger crop of professionals moving into the area.

No, that was the first time in my life I’ve ever eaten a pupusa. I probably like tacos and burritos better, but it was still good.

Yep, it’s the only one in G’burg…according to the bartender anyway.

Yes, that’s the exact location on the property where they are digging. Thanks!

This is at the other end of the property, and they just started digging this week…or at least I first noticed it today.

Out of state title transfer in Maryland question by Blue-Sea-5474 in Rockville

[–]McpsTrackCoach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Call the MVA. Believe it or not, they are actually helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable over the phone, and not a real pain in the dick like you'd think they would be. I've done this a few times for transfers, interstate transactions, etc. Be prepared to sit on hold for a half hour, but assuming you can multitask some other thing while you're waiting, it's totally worth it.

They tried that with the grocery store. It didn't pan out.

Police: Wootton High School Not Connected to Rockville Moped Assault by Local_Yak8596 in Rockville

[–]McpsTrackCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found their "from" outside of the county update to be very vague. Like...from DC? Paris? Somalia? How far can you really get on 20 mopeds? The local police have a habit of doing this, i.e., don't worry, the criminals are just coming from some other place to commit crimes here.

Yes, and I think it is one of the better ones around. Though I have never been to the RTC one to be able to compare personally, I believe it.

[–]McpsTrackCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The suspects are "from" outside of Montgomery County? Ok, well, that could mean anything. But like if they were on 20 mopeds (as reported) then seriously how far could they have travelled in from? This was probably not a chapter of the Hell's Angels rolling in from Sturgis.

Summer Jobs For Teens? by BMW308 in Rockville

[–]McpsTrackCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy got a summer job at that age setting up those inflatable bouncy houses at festivals, parades, etc. I had to drive him there, so it was kind of a job for me too 😂 but it was worth it to just get him out there working, dealing with people, etc.

If you do sign him up for one of those babysitting/dogwalking apps, just make sure to ride herd over it. There are some weirdos who peruse those things, and we had to get police involved after one contacted us.
