This giant building is 51 Monroe Pl., the tallest building in Rockville and it is clearly present from miles around.  I don’t know much about what else happens in there, but my title company was located in there.

I’ve gone a long time without featuring much from Rockville, despite the fact that I have found myself driving through there a lot. 
I had a specific purpose for going to Rockville this weekend, which was to take a picture of a specific landmark.  This is not that landmark, but I thought it was pretty cool.  […]

Just throwing in another picture from another parking garage to keep it interesting.  It was taken at the same time as this one.  I really like it because I have to admit that I did not know that there was a muzak company. I also didn’t know that it requires a satellite dish to bring […]

Glen Echo has certainly taken on many appearances, even under the ownership of the park service.  The picture above was taken just two weeks ago, but here is another picture from not too long ago.  The park has been slowly regaining its 30’s-50’s appearance, straight down to the neon in the signs, but there have been […]

Yes, Glen Echo Park has Yurts.  What’s a Yurt, well this is a yurt.  They were originally intended to be brought to the national mall for an exhibition there that never ended up happening.  So when the National Park Service took over Glen Echo, they brought the Yurts there and made them home to some […]
