Washington Post readers in Our Fair City of Rockville, MD were treated to a nice surprise this morning when they discovered a not-insignificant article all about some of the wonders to be seen around the Rockville and Twinbrook Metro stations.
To be fair, we do know that the Post knows we exist. Lori Aratani, a key local reporter, often links to Rockville Central and has even been to our Rockville Roundtable lunches. But today’s article spends more time on Rockville than the Post typically does.
We urge you to read the whole article by Alex Baldinger, but here’s a snippet:
[W]hen I decided to move to Rockville last year, traffic was something I knew I would find.
A neighborhood, though? A place to walk around, with hidden gems to discover and places to become a regular? I wasn’t optimistic.
But it’s out there. . . . It’s hidden a short walk from the Twinbrook Metro.
It’s also hidden among the chain stores of Rockville Town Center, which opened in 2007 across from the Rockville Metro. . . . Just like a good scavenger hunt, the gems are hidden among the ordinary.
The piece lists eleven picks. What are they? Read on . . . .

Hooray for Lori Aratani and her appreciation of the local, independent stores and restaurants that are what makes Rockville such a special place. Perhaps she will consider a piece on the unique ethnic grocery stores that abound. Waygoose of course is my favorite with all it’s American made treasures.
