Hello,
I would like to find out how to add our new business listing in the Kentlands to this website.  Please contact me at your earliest convenience.  Thank you.

Thank you for contacting us. We tried to reach you by e-mail, but your address wasn't working.
We don't currently list businesses, except for restaurants, but a good way to get noticed is to place an ad on our site. Our ad prices are very low, and the ads reach thousands of people in the area. In addition, they are always available for people to check for addresses and phone numbers, and they are linked from the front page. A list of the advantages of advertising with us and our costs is available at http://www.20878.biz/ .

We're new to the area, and thoroughly enjoyed reading the current Maryland 20878.  We look forward to reading future editions. Maryland 20878 is one of Gaithersburg's best kept secrets, ... let's spread the word, it's a great read!
—J. D.

Welcome to the neighborhood! We are delighted that you enjoy our magazine, and we're working to ensure that the secret is no longer kept. We're pleased to have thousands of readers each month, and we're glad to have this chance to serve the community.

Hello,
 Thanks for the Vasilis gift certificate — it was fun figuring out the answer to the trivia question. I enjoy reading 20878 and wish you continued success with future issues.

Thanks for letting us know.

I especially enjoy your restaurant reviews.  I do have a question about the restaurant list below the featured reviews.  It lists the name of the restaurant, address and phone number.  Are these paid advertisements or just a courtesy directory? 

I noticed that the Japanese restaurant I have frequented is not listed. Can that list be updated? Itoyanagi Authentic Japanese Restaurant) 200 Main Street 301-330-9018

Thank you for contacting us. The list on the restaurants page is a courtesy, and we have added their name.

Thought of the day overheard at Starbucks: "If you work out, you prolong your life—but all those extra hours you're going to live, you spent in the gym, so what's the point?"

I never knew this existed - I'm excited!
Thank you.

Thanks for writing. We're glad that you are enjoying the magazine.

Thanks for the informative article [Editorial: County Plans Threaten 20878 Area].  Is there anything we can do to prevent this trampling of our neighborhood rights?
—S.B., Kentlands, Gaithersburg MD

Thanks for writing. The KCA officers have written positions in the Crier, and several groups are getting started. Anyone who knows people living in the areas across Route 28 should let them know about this threat.

The Gaithersburg City Council and I express our condolences to the family and friends of two esteemed colleagues, Eugene "Gene" Lynch of the Montgomery County Planning Board and Marilyn Praisner, long time Montgomery County Council Member. Both of these officials served with distinction, working tirelessly on behalf of residents throughout the county to preserve and safeguard our future.

Gene’s commitment to Smart Growth initiatives is echoed throughout our community, especially in neighborhoods like Kentlands and Lakelands. We also remember him for his commitment to housing, and recognize him for his efforts to co-found the Montgomery County Housing Partnership.

Marilyn’s twenty five years of service to the people of Montgomery County, first on the School Board and then for 18 years on the County Council, are a testament to her tenacity and her passion for public service. Marilyn could always be counted on do her homework, express her opinions, and stand by decisions that were made in the best interest of her constituency

The City Council and I join the residents of Gaithersburg in extending our sympathies to the colleagues, friends and families of these two remarkable public servants. Our prayers are with them.

Sidney A. Katz
Mayor
