wtf is this 'art festival'?

it's just like people from out of state selling >$1k wall pieces that I can't imagine anyone just buying on impulse, a bunch of kids drawing on the streets with chalk, and just one sad food truck.

finnegans is closed for the weekend, that wine place is closed too

this is a total bust and a missed opportunity.

There is a big stage with no band playing, it's just like kids jumping on and off of it

No apparent collaboration with the library, which seems like a miss

It feels like a flea market, not an 'Art Festival'

Do better Rockville.

Need Help! - Accident April 6, 2026 8:00am on N Frederick and Indianola/Watkins Pond

Hi!

I know this is a long shot but I need witnesses or video footage of an accident I was in on April 6, 2026 on N Frederick Rd. In Rockville/Redland. At 8:00am.

A black Dodge Charger ran a red light and T-boned my black toyota Camry as I turned right on green. My car is totalled and I need every dime from it. My shitty insurance company, Allstate, is calling it as no fault and I will lose my $2,000 deductible all for making a legal right on green. The other driver is claiming they had a yellow when its impossible. My light had turned green and was green for a few seconds before the collision.

If you have dashcam footage of the accident or you were just there I would appreciate it if you reached out through DM.

I appreciate any information. Thank you all

Edit: So I went to the Toyota 355 thats at the intersection where this happened. They wouldnt show me the footage but I brought an officer and he looked at the footage. Still no imagery of the actual cars nor light, so if you have any footage of this incident that would be greatly appreciated.

Camden at Shady Grove thoughts? 2026

I am considering moving into Camden @ Shady Grove and see a lot of negative comments about security, package theft, and management. However, they are from 2 years ago - any recent experiences you can share?

Where Are the Planes Going?

I live in Rockville, West End, just south of Rt. 28. For years I've see airliners pass just south of my house at a low altitude going from east to west.

I have a pretty good sense of geography. I know we are at about the latitude as Dulles Airport, a little north of it, and about twelve miles away. I also know the approach path to National Airport is over the Potomac River. The river is about six miles away to the west and we're a little over twenty miles away from that airport as the crow flies.

I can never figure out where the planes over my house are going. National? Dulles? Both?

Pike’s Peek 10k

I love the race and the organizers. I’m surprised each year that despite all the announcements and signs, folks are surprised that 355 is shutdown. Definitely disruptive, but it’s one Sunday morning a year. What could the City/organizers/people generally do to make this work even better?

ISO A Local Artist

Hi hi! My boyfriend and I are starting a small business and we wanted to work with a local artist to design a logo. I would really appreciate any recommendations of DMV local artists that we could work with. If you can send me names or links to portfolios that would be incredibly helpful.
