I believe that North Potomac does border the northern part of Potomac (the city, not the river or anything)

It's just through the smaller back roads.

ie if you turn off of Falls road onto Glen or South Glen Road it takes you to North Potomac, without going through anywhere else. Some of those roads hit River Road too.

There are two HS's that service Potomac, and neither is Quince Orchard.

Richard Montgomery, Walt Whitman and even northwest serve potomac as well

Um no. Northwest and Richard Montgomery don't have attendance zones in Potomac. Some houses go to RM that are right on the Potomac border but they are still Rockville. Northwest-not even close.

I would 100 times rather live where I do than a neighborhood like Regency Estates to be in "Potomac."

I would 100 times rather go to QO than Wooton and resale value is relative to the purchase price anyhow. Elite colleges actually won't accept too many kids from the same high school, so your acceptance chances for a place like say, Yale would be better at QO.

When I enter my street address into the USPS website (to hold mail on vacation or something), the USPS automatically fills in "North Potomac" as my city.

USPS learned long ago to placate wanna-be snobs, It is just easier as long as they use the right zip code. If I put in your zip code into most other places it says Gaithersburg.



How about we compromise? I concede your right to call it what every you want if you concede my right to mock you and snicker. And then only if we both sign a petition to call Germantown "North North Potomac"

I live very near here, off Jones Lane. One side of my neighborhood backs up to those same power lines. There's a big price difference between very similar houses in my 'hood depending how close they are to the power lines. Those close houses are much less expensive, and stay on the market much longer than others just a few blocks away. It's a HUGE issue for a lot of people.

As it should be. We just purchased and wouldn't even consider a house very close to power lines.

Because there are tons of really, really stupid people out there. They think powerlines are dangerous, but live in a house with electrical wiring all through it. Idiots.

I'd live next to lines in a second, just to have the extra space and not be backed up against someone else's yard.
