Good morning, Gaithersburg.

Natalie and her mother maintain a family lunch tradition every Monday at the Rockville Pike McDonald’s, the county’s first store that opened in 1960.

The restaurant was once owned by Oscar Goldstein + it is known for introducing Ronald McDonald, linking local history to a living legacy.

After a Jan. 19 pipe burst in Montgomery County spilled millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, Virginia lawmaker Richard Stuart urged state agencies to expand water testing along the Virginia coast; departments are now sampling the river to check for contamination & protect seafood safety.

Montgomery County has launched an ongoing solicitation for organizations to operate Business Cohort Training Programs for local entrepreneurs, small businesses, and nonprofits.

The initiative, under number 1193175, will simplify the procurement process & expand support with guidance from the Office of Procurement & the Business Center.
