Chew on this:
The agenda for the week includes trips to the Urban Planning museum, Tong Ji University, Chongming Island, SOM Shanghai, and some of these nine new towns. The goal: not to get ‘Shanghaied.’

While it is flattering to hear outsedirs talk about Olde Towne in such kind terms, they must be talking about what Olde Towne is going to be in the future.I am not sure how many of us stroll the historic streets of Olde Towne window shopping in the evening. Perhaps they are hoping, like we do, that the miserable excuse for a high school building will finally be upgraded. And let’s not forget how many of our younger students who learn in mobile homes ..I think I know what it is, it is the high quality of entertainment that teenagers find in Market Square in the Kentlands.Where does my derisive attitude come from? It comes from the fact that I have seen the inclusion on lists like this serve as justification to continue the status quo rather than do what we should do to make Gaithersburg better.
