Site changes

If you've visited RockvilleLiving.com before, you'll notice it's a bit different now. I wanted it to look more representative of the things that make Rockville a great place to live: the beautiful historic buildings like Glenview Mansion and the Red Brick Courthouse, the energetic community spirit here that has brought about our new and promising Town Center, the vibrant performing arts scene, and, above all, the presence of natural beauty and wildlife in our otherwise very suburban setting. The picture at the top of this page and the home page is a Photoshop'd collage of several of my favorite places and things in Rockville.

More importantly, I wanted to attempt to bring the database up-to-date, something I've let fall behind over the past two years as my other client work, teaching, and being the mom of two teenagers consumed all my waking hours. My other goals were to better categorize the database contents and to bring back the calendar that used to be here (and available at Rocknet). Suggestions or comments on either can be sent with the link above.

It's especially inspiring to keep track of what's new in Rockville these days, as we've watched the beautiful new library take shape and continue to see changes to the Town Center buildings daily. So keep those cards and letters, by which I mean calendar events and directory additions, coming.

Peerless historic photos of Rockville

Speaking of historic buildings in Rockville, I just found this great collection of photos of historic Rockville at the Peerless Rockville website. Many thanks to the folks there for making these photos available for everyone to see.

A fascinating list of historic places in Rockville with photos and descriptions (saving the Dawson Farm residence, travelling on the trolley line from Rockville to Georgetown in the 20's and 30's, the significance of Frieda's Cottage) can also be found at the site.
