Rockville Pike north of Strathmore Metro is not demonstrably different than Annandale along Columbia Pike in terms of the squalor you see at bus stops and intersections. It really has gone down hill since when the Whole Foods was built.

I am not sure I am seeing this, PP. Maybe some bus stops have squalor but overall, the Pike is the Pike. Some strip malls look nicer than others and that has always been the case. How is there squalor at intersections? I only see cars--could you elaborate? If you are referring to panhandlers, there have always been.

Maybe they are a juvenile?

Who was the victim?

As a lifelong MoCo resident, I’m observing a rather uptick in violent crime. It’s very disturbing.

Domestic violence can happen anywhere. It transcends race, socioeconomics, age, etc.

But drug crime or other criminal activity…well, let’s just say there’s a certain element that heretofore wasn’t widely present in MoCo.


What is your actual experience with any of this so called crime wave? I think you just read the news too much and see people day to day that you judge as criminals without any actual knowledge. I know for a fact that you didn’t live here during the 80’s because crime was much worse in this area back then.

North of the beltway, IMO.

Bethesda has 15+ zip codes and a few HS pyramids (BCc, Whitman, WJ)

Meh.

So-called “crime” is a social construct.

You are the most annoying type of poster in the world.
It's just like North Potomac. Or if you live in Frederick, we have NNP stickers on some cars for Urbana (Frederick). Of course that means, North North Potomac.

Factual answer: It's some crap that realtors made up. There is no real city of either North Potomac or North Bethesda. It's just Rockville and Gaithersburg.


E V E R Y O N E K N O W S. Ask yourself why you are still reflexively providing this information many years after the fact. It is pathological. Someone was murdered and you are talking about vanity zip codes.

I have a theory that this is a love triangle. The guy who was killed was with the other guys wife/girlfriend in the hotel and he was waiting for him to leave and shot him as he left.
