[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RTC just sold their share of all of the restaurants to the Canadian developer that owns the apartment buildings. Local news article said that the developer wants more than just restaurants in RTC, so there may be a bit more diversity.

Also, Lidl filed for application for building on Rockville Pike and Shady Grove Metro entrance's street. So some changes are afoot in the area.

We moved to Rockville from SS 7 years ago and have been very happy in King Farm (wanted to live in Woodley Gardens but didn't want to be moved to Beall). We are comfortable with letting the kids walk to the parks, pools, Safeway; walking from the middle school to RTC with their friends, and not have to be driven everywhere. I look forward to my kids being able to ride metro and buses around the area. It is safe, diverse, and family oriented. I love that we have a lot of great restaurant options nearby, ethnic groceries (Golden Bakery, EuroMart, Halal, and tons of Asian markets), and lots of beautiful trees and parks in the area.

But yes, as a child of the 80s, that REM song comes to my head, too! :) [/quote]
My kids love that they can walk from RMHS to RTC for lunch and after school, and after a football game at night to hang out. Especially fun in the winter when the ice skating rink goes up. They all head out to the rink after school some days.  DC loves it.

I also can't wait to see what the new developer does with RTC. When the kids were little we used to go to RTC all the time to go to the library, have lunch/dinner, and hang out on the green.[/quote]
