Moved here a year ago and live in a great community (Wyngate). I’ve noticed so many private schools in Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Potomac and all these cities have solid school districts. What’s the appeal in private schools when you’re already surrounded by so many good public schools? No judgement. Just curious.

Does anyone have recs on their favorite lash tech in the area? I usually get hybrid and would love to stay under $100 for a 3 week fill, but also not looking to get an eye infection from a cheap place. TIA!

Im trying to figure out if I have time to vote over my lunch break or if I should wait until after work

Hi I am moving to the area, single woman in her 50s with a dog and would love suggestions as to friendly neighborhoods or buildings I should consider. Thanks!

There always seems to be firetrucks and ambulances there. What's happening over there? Also the other apartments by bowlero

Does anyone know of any businesses/organizations in downtown Bethesda that are participating in Toys For Tots this holiday season? I have some new toys I’d like to donate but the Moco chapter website hasn’t posted any toy drop box locations. I can also go to North Bethesda area but will need to take the metro.

Thank you in advance for the tips!

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a few people interested in joining a group plan at The St. James Performance Club on Wisconsin Ave and Bradley Blvd. If we team up, the membership cost comes down to $105/month, which is a lot more affordable than going solo.

If you’re currently working out at places like Equinox and want a high-quality but cheaper alternative, this is a great option. The St. James has excellent facilities and a supportive environment for all fitness levels.

Drop a comment or DM me if you’re interested in joining, and let’s get fit together!

I just moved to the U.S. from Europe and going through tough experience with grocery shopping. Any useful mobile apps that help with healthy item selection, unit conversions, and calorie/macro tracking? Also, other tips and advice are highly appreciated, thanks!

Anyone know when Mon Ami Gabi is going to reopen? it's been closed for awhile now..

Looking for a place that’s open today (Sunday) Recommendations of any skilled masseuse in particular would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hi all,

Does anyone know when Lidl will be opening? Online I only found an expected opening in July 2024 which has already passed and still not open. Looking forward to their nice selection of breads.

Most importantly THANK YOU so much for all the thoughtful comments on my original post.

There was a request for a follow up, so wanted to share how it went.

OP summary; wife is mid 30s, in tech sales, and real busy between work and us having 2 young kids. I wanted to do something nice by setting up a shopping experience for her as she's traveling more for work.

After all the recommendations, narrowed it down to MM LaFleur, Phoenix, & Veronica Beard. She liked all 3 so I looked at who had avaiblity to book on the weekend with a stylist. MM LaFleur had the time that worked best so we went that way. I set the appointment, answered the questions about her sizes and added a short paragraph about her style/ use.

She went to the DC location and had a great expereince. They had all kinds of things pulled for her. She discovered that a size down fits her better, which she felt great about. Got a bunch of stuff, but especially a couple tops and jackets that look great, are professional and also comfortable. I thought the pricing was surprisingly reasonable.

Thats about it! More than anything just wanted to express my gratitude to all the people who gave input and helped me do something nice for my wife! Have a great weekend.

Yesterday and today our power seemed to have gone out for a few moments, then quickly came back on. Anyone else experienced this and know the cause?

Just heard what sounds like a major explosion while Auburn Ave. Any clue as to what that was??

Who is the white loser guy driving around in his SUV with a giant Trump flag and beeping his horn non-stop? Who cares about the flag but why does he have to go around beeping like that but I guess if you're a trump supporter it pretty much goes with the territory to be a dick.

I hope that every day you wake up and are miserable. that your pillow is never cold. that you never sleep again since you insist on not letting anyone else do so >:(

Anybody know? 👀

Wow I love this bar! Reminds me of my local bars in NYC. Happy Halloween! Stefanye the bartender is amazing!

Join Montgomery Parks on Saturday, November 9 as we celebrate the reopening of Caroline Freeland Urban Park. The festivities will run from 2-3:30 p.m. in the park, with free pumpkin decorating, a free, instructor-led barre workout class, and refreshments.

Here’s a little about the park’s namesake: Freeland (1918-2007) was the first woman appointed to serve as a commissioner on the Montgomery Planning Board, part of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), in 1963. She was also the first female chair of M-NCPPC, serving until 1971. During her tenure, public space more than doubled to 16,000 acres (it’s currently more than 37,000 acres). In 1983, the park’s name changed from Edgemoor to Caroline Freeland Urban Park, in her honor. The park was deemed a monument to [Freeland’s] concern for beauty and good use of land for those who live and work here, now and in the future.” Freeland’s legacy on the importance of natural spaces in the county’s urban areas is still felt today.

Hello!!

As the title says I wanted to ask if anyone in the area uses class pass what their experience with it has been. I'm considering signing up, but I'd like to know about how many credits it takes to do various classes and what the experience has been like in the various studios offered in the Bethesda area.

Thank you in advance everyone I appreciate the input!

I've been renting here for over a year now. I've rented with two different roommates, both of whom I found through a Google group for NIH fellows. The 2nd roommate was just transferred to an out-of-state NIH campus so we've been trying to find someone to sublease from him with no luck. We've both posted on the Google group, and I've posted a couple times on various Facebook housing groups for the area. I had a few serious inquiries that ended up going nowhere, one guy even asked to sign off on the sublease but then suddenly ghosted us.

Is there anywhere else I should be looking to find a roommate? At this point I'm seriously considering breaking the lease and moving, but that's a lot of time and money.

Instead of getting home delivery, I want to be able to get a paper at 6am. Does anybody know if there are any of those self serve boxes along River Road in Bethesda?

I live not too far from harris teeter in bethesda and constantly can hear traffic in the area. i feel like there's been more than the usual honking and someone was honking for an unusually long time. eventually heard firetrucks and police sirens. i even heard a helicopter above. anyone know what's going on??
