2007 was a great year for Rockville. We got our long-awaited Town Center, with all the good food, shopping, summer events and live music that came along with it. (Speaking of which, I highly recommend the recently-opened Thai Pavilion -- we had three of their vegetarian dishes last night and they were all superb). Good things happened following the City elections too (though more of you need to get out and vote in the next election!) I'm very happy to see that, thanks to the efforts of folks in Hungerford especially, reason won out in the council and once-a-week trash pickup will be implemented after all, and equally glad to see workforce housing coming to Rockville. I also salute the folks who ran for council and didn't get elected but still remain passionate about improving life in Rockville. I'll be attending Carl Henn's gathering this coming Friday (January 4, 7:30pm, 193 Hardy Place, 20852) to see his presentation on the energy/environmental future that Rockville faces and will report back here about that -- hopefully on my new actual blog that I plan to get set up soon. Happy New Year to all!
