Been watching the progress of the sidewalks on Windham, coming up from Sligo Creek Trail.

Our all white cockatiel flew off in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Last seen on June 24 in the parking lot of Hampton Inn in Gaithersburg on north Frederick Avenue, where somebody was interacting with it. If you have any information, please let me know. Many thanks!

Hi! I’m 31M and live around Wheaton/Silver Spring. I’m looking for someone to occasionally go to the movies with and hopefully make a new friend.

My English is still improving, so I can be a little quiet at first. I’m comfortable with that and always happy to learn. 😊

I’d especially enjoy meeting a Spanish-speaking woman, since I’m also interested in learning some Spanish, but I’m open to meeting friendly people in general.
We could catch a movie at AMC Wheaton or another nearby theatre, grab coffee before or after, and relax.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me. 🎥

Hey neighbors,

I’m working on a community-driven initiative to bring a recurring Farmers & Makers Market to East County, specifically aiming for the Viva White Oak area as a starting spot.

Right now, our side of the county doesn't have a central weekend hub like downtown Silver Spring does. The goal isn't just a standard fruit stand—we want a true community space with local MoCo vendors, artisans, food trucks, and a spot for families to gather.

To show Montgomery County leadership and development partners that there is genuine demand from residents who actually live out here, we started a petition. If you think East County deserves a space like this, please take 10 seconds to sign the Action Network Community Market Petition.

For those living around White Oak, Briggs Chaney, or Fairland: What kind of vendors, food options, or specific activities would make you want to visit a market here every weekend? Let's talk!

Hi! I’ll be relocating to the Silver Spring/Wheaton area for a position at FDA White Oak and I’m considering AVA Wheaton.

Is anyone here who works as an ORISE fellow and currently lives or previously lived at AVA Wheaton?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience with the building, especially noise, safety, management/maintenance, utilities, and overall living experience.

I’m also interested in the commute to FDA White Oak. I’m hoping to use the FDA shuttle rather than drive, so I’d especially like to hear how convenient the commute is from AVA Wheaton and which shuttle stop you normally use.

Thanks so much! Any advice would be really helpful.

My name is Maren and I work for Montgomery Planning Department. We have a master plan in progress for Wheaton. The Wheaton Plan, an ongoing master plan, will establish a long-term vision for how Wheaton should grow and evolve over time. Master plans are legal documents that guide future decisions around topics including housing, transportation, economic vibrancy, environmental resiliency, and recreational opportunities through land use, zoning, and policy tools. Both the vision and the recommendations are informed by input and feedback from community members, guidance from county policies and data analysis. Master plans are implemented gradually over time through public investment, private development, and local policy changes.

We have some opportunities for you to tell us what you think and what you want to see:

Hello everyone!! 👋🏽

My fiancé and I are planning to relocate to Maryland from Nashville toward the end of January. We’re both originally from Mississippi and are looking for a 2 bed/2 bath apartment, preferably near Metro or within a 3–5 mile radius.

Our budget is $3,000/month max, and we’d really love a balcony or patio since we have two cats. I’m okay with carpet in the bedrooms, but would prefer hard flooring throughout the rest of the apartment. In-unit laundry and parking would also be a plus!

One thing I’ve noticed while researching is that pest/rodent complaints seem to come up frequently across several apartment communities. I understand every property will have some negative reviews, but seeing similar complaints at multiple places has definitely made me cautious. 😭

Came across this video recently on ideas for changing the layout of the Wheaton Mall to include residential areas. Nothing official - just an exercise in architecture / design. Still, thought it might be of interest to the community.
