Did you hear the big news? Gaithersburg is getting not one, but two new gas stations - a Wawa AND a Sheetz. We're big time now.

I don't know what I heard, but it sounded like someone screaming for their life around Asbury near Russell and Maryland Ave. This was at like 4pm. I walked the block and didn't see anything weird, but whoever it was was screaming for like 20 seconds. It was creepy.
