Today, Oct. 2, is the 10-year anniversary of what became known as the DC sniper case—a horrific chapter in local history that began in Montgomery County and riveted the nation. Only one of the attacks was in Prince George's County— outside of Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie. A 13-year-old Iran Brown was shot around 8:09 a.m. as he arrived to school. Brown survived the attack and later testified at the trials.

Cuts expected to bolster shuttle services to Shady Grove.

When we arrived we were told there was NO Mother's Day Brunch, they didn't advertise a brunch and were serving a full dinner menu, not even a lunch menu. There was also another table of guests who came for the same brunch. Needless to say, after speaking to them, we all I left and went to another restaurant… more ›
