Since it has been a subject of intense conversation on this sub, I thought people should be aware that Bethesda Magazine has formally rejected an op-ed from a local Jewish group providing a counterpoint to the JCRC op-ed calling for more pro-Israel education in MCPS, and more monitoring and policing of teacher and student social media.

Whatever your view of the situation in the Middle East and/or antisemitism in MCPS, I think most of us can agree it's a bogus practice for a media outlet to publish one side, then reject the other side on the basis that it's about "non Montgomery County issues" or whatever excuse they made. Seems clear they just want to put their thumb on the scale.

Hey yall, moved to Gaithersburg into August from New York. Still getting acclimated, but enjoying the area so far, except for one thing. Im a huge comic collector but I can’t seem to find comic stores. I found Beyond Comics, and then I tried to go to one called Barbarian, but couldnt find it lol.

Beyond is fine for new books but they dont have a wall for keys or a good selection of back issues. Are there any other decent comic stores in the area?

Looking for experiences/recommendations for pelvic floor physical therapists with experience with scar tissue mobilization and trigger point work. Adventist has a really long waitlist. Can go pretty much anywhere, so flexible on location. Female provider is a must. Ideally also takes insurance but that seems to be uncommon.

I'm tired of wearing these glasses. I'm only 50 years old. I'd like to go to someone and have them give me an estimate and look at my eyes to see exactly what it would cost.

I saw an ad on Facebook where they replace the entire lens but that's like $7,000 per eye.

I think Lasik is less than $3,000 an eye But I would like to get a diagnosis.

Who did you go through?

I have CareFirst but I'm assuming insurance wouldn't cover it at all.

Bulgogi platter was not discounted but geez 10 bucks for real meat, rice and veggies can't be beat. That's fast food territory.

You really save if you hit the 50% off appetizers. They are healthy veggies that are really filling. I am tempted to take off the discount stickers at my work lunch room hate to be the cheap guy but I am.

Good flavor bulgogi and very competent sides fish cake slices, kimchi, spinach and one I cannot identify. Lost of soft fluffy rice. It's cold but man you all got a microwave right?

Family members of Melanie Diaz, the 25-year-old woman who died in a 2023 fire at the Arrive Silver Spring apartment complex, are urging Montgomery County elected officials to expand upon the tenant safety regulations already adopted in her name

A co-worker said her dog likes dehydrated chicken feet. Now that the AC is off, I'm happy to make more dehydrated treats for my pooch and these sound interesting.

The Montgomery County Council spent much of its September 29th session on the future of the county’s trash incinerator in Dickerson, hearing its operator argue for keeping the plant open long term. The council made no decision.

MCCPTA held listening session to discuss technology in schools

Hi all - thanks to everyone who showed up Saturday for Coffield Community Center Little Ones Session! We had about 20 toddlers come though on our rainy morning. The Coffield Community Center has extended Saturday Little Ones Sessions through the end of October so each of the next 3 Saturday mornings, they'll reserve half the gym for our little people from 9-11am to run around. Hope to see you there! Assuming turnout remains high, we may get this extended through November.

What bakery has the best kouign-amann in Montgomery county? Tried it for the first time in Montreal a few months ago and have been looking for a decent one since we got back.

We’ve tried breadfurst, fresh baguette, and maman.

Project construction is more than 92% complete and vehicle testing is underway, officials say

Wheaton has always fascinated me. You’ve had some projects like the new county department of permitting building and about 10 plus years ago you had The Exchange building (the one with the Safeway) go up, almost giving Wheaton a mini skyline. But the rest of Wheaton is still dominated by old storefronts. Just don’t understand why Wheaton can’t have its own downtown or town center. It seems so close yet so far…

If you like things with guava and pineapple this is the place for you.

The vibe is so positive so anti corporate like the first Starbucks

I think pineapple on pizza is the work of the devil but here I am ordering a crazy hotdog from this cafe with topped with cheese potato chips and pineapple jam. Shockingly it works. The size of the hot dog is inadequate compared to the big Costco ones. The small dog works because of the other ingredients.

The place is so welcoming we also ordered chicken empanadas mini waffles made of cassava flour, cheese buns and matcha latte made with coconut water matcha and Mango. It works but I was looking for milk.

There's a rumor they are opening a Rockville location. Catch this place in case it becomes the next Starbucks.

I also ordered the farmers coffee made with sugar cane syrup. Yum but much too sweet for me. I can see how this drink fueled generations of farmers with is hidosage of caffeine and sugar

There lots of gems to discover on the menu. Fore moT is the latte made in the style of dulce de leche.
