Good morning, Rockville.
🏘️ Community
Montgomery County homeless shelters have been at full capacity for the past two weeks, according to deputy director N’Jeri Henry—Dominique Dawes Academy will open its Silver Spring branch in mid-February and Concentra has moved to a larger 10,000-square-foot medical hub on S.
Frederick Ave in Gaithersburg.
🏛️ Government
Montgomery County’s Brookside Gardens is hosting its holiday light show that opened November 21 and features 1.5 million lights arranged by a dedicated team working year-round.
Staff adjust plans each year to add new attractions and manage rising supply costs—ensuring the government-run display stays engaging.
📰 Lifestyle
Wynn Roberton, a Rockville native and head sommelier at Bourbon Steak, said that once a wine bottle is opened and corked, white wine stored in the fridge stays fresh for a few days while red wine stored in a cool dark area lasts up to five days.
He added that for best flavor the wine should be enjoyed with Thanksgiving leftovers — pairing ideas like turkey tacos with white wine offer one option — and tested promptly.
