There's a new dog run/compact dog park on Montgomery Ave between Pearl and East West. Same side of the street as Sport & Health. No parking, but a great space with a small and large dog area, double doors and wood chips. Supposedly it's temporary, but hey, come out and join us while it lasts!

Got home about 1am from a business trip. Hopped out of the uber in front of my building (Woodmont ave near the metro) and looked over to see a homeless gentleman yelling to himself as he walked down the block. It was just me and him and I must’ve caught his attention because he started yelling at me and coming in my direction. I wanted absolutely no part of it so I rushed into the vestibule of my building and grabbed my keys out of my backpack and swipe into my building as he reaches the vestibule. He started banging on the doors screaming who knows what. Thank goodness the door locked behind me because if he had gotten in to the lobby with me I have no idea what I would have happened.

It was pretty dark but I would say he is a BM between 5’9 and 5’11. Anyone ever encountered him before?

Look, someone is going to die trying to play frogger to avoid crossing Wisconsin.

I think people should cross, but I watch dozens and dozens of people not cross every day and some of it is pretty scary!

I don't understand why a narrow temporary walkway couldn't be built.

I can’t believe there is still demand.

Hello, I am trying to get into triathlons and was wondering where people go for open water swimming in this area. I know winter is coming, so I will be stuck inside, but I am curious.

Hi everyone! I am in search of a roommate to live with in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area. My desired move-in date varies, but around November 16-December 7 is what I am aiming for. My budget is roughly $1500, so looking for a 2 bedroom apartment for at most $3000.

I am a male in my mid-20s and a newscast director. My working hours are usually in the early mornings, waking up around 1:30-3:00am. Despite that, I am quiet and respectful when waking up in the morning. I am a non-smoker, pet-friendly, and have been living in the DC area for just under 3 years.

I have been touring several apartments in the past couple of weeks, so I have a good idea of where I'd like to live. Please let me know if you are interested, or have any questions!

I moved here a year and a half ago. I expected much better than this considering the general sentiment about the area and cost of living, etc. Why is this acceptable? Every time I come it’s gross. Something to be said about the kids who think leaving trash everywhere is ok.

Open to rants but more so wishful thinking of solutions….

Looking for a place with a small private area (around 10 people) for a birthday party for an adult. Any suggestions?

They’ve started chopping all the trees down at 5009 Rugby. Building yet another massive mansion like they did around the corner (8015 and 8017 Glenbrook), where they also cut down old trees. Where does it end? When there are no more small houses to go through? Who needs 6 beds/6 baths?

We’ve been looking for a new go-to casual sushi place in Bethesda. Needless to say, very good, high-quality a must. Any feedback on Takumi or any other recs for a place that’s easy to pickup from?

NIH staff have been gathering in their personal capacity outside the agency at 10am, every Saturday since May 2025.

Any recommendations on doggy daycare? Currently live on old Georgetown downtown, but willing to drive if needed. I’ve noticed many of the places downtown don’t have outside space for large dogs to run around…. He’s 70lbs.

Just to clarify, just moved to the area. Don’t really understand the traffic situation in the morning yet- mostly would be going two days a week. Thx

Hi! I have a good amount of women's clothes in good condition to donate but I would like to make sure these get to people who could use them and are needed. Do you know any places in Bethesda? Thank you!

We have a 9 month old Border Collie and he's a good boi. Took him on local holidays with us over the summer since he was too young, but now that he's older we want to plan some out of town trips during the holidays. What do you folks do with your dogs? What options and services are available and what do you recommend?

From a gaming fair to an extravagant fashion show in Bethesda, there are plenty of events to enjoy

Hi! Unfortunately a tree fell on my dads house and there is significant damage. I think he would need framing and roof repairs, probably more. Does anyone have any suggestions for a roofer or contractor who might be able to help with this? Thanks so much! He lives in Bethesda.

We have a company removing the tree. I’m also unsure what other contractors might be needed. Possibly junk removal or something to get rid of debris?

Question about nursing staffing at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda
Has anyone had recent experience with nursing staffing at Suburban Hospital, particularly on the third floor?
My elderly mother was recently hospitalized there. When I visited, the unit seemed unusually quiet, with very few staff visible. At one point, her nurse had difficulty locating a nursing assistant when she needed help.
I previously worked at Johns Hopkins Hospital, so the difference in activity on the unit stood out to me.
My mother was discharged but had to return to the emergency department later that evening because of significant confusion and unsafe behavior.
I’m wondering whether anyone else has noticed staffing shortages, delays in care, or discharge concerns at Suburban recently.
I’m interested in hearing about firsthand experiences rather than making assumptions about the hospital.
