During the tour of the new District Courthouse last summer, the schedule indicated construction of the building would be completed in December. Over the weekend I noticed the building appeared to be close. Well it turns out, the construction is still on target and the building will be completed in December and opened for use in March 2011.
As part of the process, Maryland Avenue will be closed on Saturday, November 20, between 8 AM and 6 PM in order to shut down an abandoned valve in the water line. Three lanes of Maryland Avenue will be closed between East Jefferson and Vinson Street. Flaggers will direct traffic through that block. There will be no impact to water service to the homes in the area.
Since I live right off Maryland Avenue by City Hall, this is of particular interest to me but if you are going to the last Farmer’s Market of the season, it might be of interest to you too. When driving up Maryland Avenue, you should expect a slight delay and you should turn right on Fleet Street.
Since I’m preparing the big meal for my extended family, I know I’m planning on my annual Thanksgiving trek to the Farmer’s Market for the herbs, pumpkins, potatoes, spinach, cider, and turkeys. This is a one-stop shop for the entire meal. Even if you don’t buy at the Farmer’s Market regularly, you should for this special holiday meal. The quality will make all the difference.

Although I sometimes take my bike, I don’t recommend it for the purchase of a large turkey!

you buy your turkey at the rockville farmer’s market? do you remember from which merchant? i have bought amish chicken on a regular basis from the merchant in the corner (who also BBQs) but never a turkey.
I have, but last year when I came back from the Help the Homeless Walk on the Mall, they were all gone. I don’t remember the vendor but I was under the impression that people ordered them in advance. I will attempt to get one early this year, as I wasn’t that organized.
That Courthouse….is a Turkey!
