Yes friends, I've been reading a number of well-meaning and well-written blogs covering all the goings on in the Eastern part of Montgomery County, Maryland - - most of which concern themselves with doings in or around Silver Spring and points east.
I'm going west (young man). Let's take a look at things of particular interest to those of us living on the west side of that Great Divider, highway 270.
I'm a resident of Western Montgomery County - Darnestown, to be exact - and I think there's much that could be told about the people, places and events that shape our lives in North Bethesda, Potomac, North Potomac, Darnestown, Boyds, Poolesville, Dickerson and probably some of Germantown and Gaithersburg (truth be told, though, those last two should be blogged about by someone more connected to those areas - I know that gaithersblog already covers a great deal of what's going on in that area - so I'll be content to scrutinize political, social and community happenings a little closer to my home near the mighty Potomac.
Anyway, as soon as I see something worth rattling your cage about, I'll note it here on these pages. Til then, here's to a peaceful holiday season and a new blog filled with wit, insight and biting commentary!
PS: For you political junkies out there, be forewarned: my political bent is pretty much right-leaning (although I like to consider myself a Libertarian) , although I'm VERY in tune with land use and development issues. I hate how developers have corrupted the political process in our country, and have, at least until now, turned the County Council into their own private development rubber stamp mill.
Some development is inevitable; most development is based on the almighty dollar. It's the later that pisses me off, and I'll do anything I can to make sure that every tawdry developer transgression gets a mention here.
Remember, once it's developed, that green, open space is gone for good - as in forever.
