80s SKATE NIGHT TONIGHT AT ROCKVILLE TOWN SQUARE ICE RINK

Get dressed up as 80s as you can when it's freezing outside - it's 80s Skate Night tonight at Rockville Town Square.

But they are also asking for your requests, so you can help fill out the playlist from one of America's greatest decades.

WALGREENS COMING TO ROCKVILLE TOWN CENTER PHASE II

Walgreens is getting closer to opening at the former location of The Orange Ball on 355.  When Maryland and Dawson Avenues are extended in the future, Walgreens will lose about 40 surface parking spaces. At that time, the drug store will add a drive-thru pharmacy to the exterior, to address the reduction in parking spaces.

I'm not sure if that will be sufficient in practice, however, but I guess we'll just have to see how many spaces are used when it opens.

By my recollection, the neighboring Maxim Supermarket opposed the Dawson Avenue extension, for the same concerns about the loss of parking spaces for both businesses.

I am glad Walgreens is opening, though, and imagine it will be somewhat convenient for residents of The Fitz condominium nearby.
