  3. Along the entire 16-mile Purple Line corridor, University Boulevard in Langley Park could see the biggest transformation. In addition to the new rail line, the street will get a "road diet" with wider sidewalks and bike lanes:

  4. it took seven years after Brown v. Board of Education for Montgomery County to desegregate its schools - to redraw boundaries, build new schools, and make sure they were actually integrated. a good thread -

  16. reminds me of when we lived in a condo and a white woman held the elevator for me...so she could ask if I knew the black guy who was sitting alone in the lobby

  17. The last newspaper in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties shut down last week—but while new news outlets are filling the void, less-affluent areas will effectively be in a news desert:

  18. As Maryland looks at widening 270 and 495, this month I'm partnering with to look at the real costs of building highways - and the real solutions to traffic congestion. Here's our first post on :
