Down by the River takes on Rockville

As some people may know had they read my last post, I am now residing in Rockville. This is a bit of a homecoming for me as I grew up basically across MD 28 ( my grandparents still live there) and up MD28 a bit ( my parents still live THERE) That said I hope to keep up the blog. I hope to more or less cover the same topics but more centered on what's going on in Rockville.
This is not all bad for East County. First and foremost damn few people read this blog so who cares. Second, a lot of what happens up here effects the rest of the county. Even the Land Rockville Forgot (ok I thought that was a funny description of East County) All that said I would like to give my thoughts to the parking situation in the new Rockville town square. It's really very simple. Keep it free. Silver Spring is learning this the hard way. We are rather lucky to have quite a few small, family owned stores in town square. If the city charges for parking the people that visit these stores will stop going. The stores can't survive without their customers and guess what Rockville--there goes your tax base. Honestly what the hell are you thinking? You are saying that you believe you will get more money in parking fees than you collect in taxes levied on the businesses? Now, I very well may not know the whole story here but that's what it looks like on first glance. That should mean something to the Council. At least I should hope. By the way as a point of reference, I remember when Town Square was a dump, the best new thing to come in there was the Regal, Fallsgrove was a WORKING farm and MD28 was one lane each way....my how things have changed
