Green Acres has been around for over 70 years, and still has energy. THough some may say that it is going down hill, a legitimate claim, Green Acres is still a far better school than anything else. It is progressive, open, has wonderful teachers and a wonderful campus. Green Acres teaches kids to think and act as they believe, and in creative ways. A great school.

Giant is a great place to shop at, and from what I hear, this regional supermarket is a great place to work at. It has plenty of food, and around here gourmet food, and the staff are extremely helpful. This may be because of high wages and hours, at least according to the press. THanks Giant

The Papery is part of the increasing yuppification of Bethesda, if it
can be even more yuppified. It sells very expensive paper products
like cards and ink and paper, of course. The stuff is rather
pointless, and as I said, very expensive. People do pay these prices,
unfortunately, so the store stays in business. The space would better
be taken up with some better, cooler store.

St. Albans Summer Camp is a camp run by a cathedral- the beautiful
National Cathedral in Washington DC- but is not a Catholic camp. In
fact, kids of all creeds enjoy this summer day camp. There are plenty
of activities, and absolutely no religious affiliation intrudes upon
the fun. They serve lunch too, but it doesn't taste very good, not
that this matters much.

ARC IceSports is a Rockville ice facility with multiple rinks. It
supports area youth hockey clubs, figure skating, and general family
fun, the last of which is none too expensive (none too cheap either).
ARC is pretty far away from the city, but ice rinks are somewhat rare
around here, and ARC is a new facility that is far nicer than other
local rinks.

Hitter's Park is a batting cage that opened in the last couple of
years. It is the most amazing batting cage I've ever been in. The
balls come out of a screen upon which is projected a video of a
pitcher pitching. The controls are completely electronic, and the
cage can throw any type of pitch imaginable, at any speed. It really
is amazing.

Sportrock is one of two local climbing gyms, the other being the City
of Rockville gym, which isn't anywhere close to Sportrock's quality.
Sportrock has walls of all different difficulties and heights, from
bouldering rocks to long overhangs. They rent climbing shoes,
harnesses, helmets, and rope for great prices, and the staff are all
dedicated climbers so they know what they're doing.

An article recently appeared in Newsweek about Home Run Baseball Camp
in Tenleytown. Coach McCarthy is just as great as the article says he
is, and the camp is even greater. It teaches discipline, baseball,
teamwork, and fun. Kids love the place for all of this; chants of
"buffy" ring out when Coach Mac demonstrates how to buff baseball
cleats before a game. Never would you ever expect to see this.

Artsy Fartsy may very well be a fine store, though I doubt it with a name like that. The issue is that Artsy Fartsy threw the very fine Second Story Books out of its location. I probably shouldn’t be prejudging the store, but I am very upset with Second Story Book’s absence. Artsy Farsty is a pretty yuppy place.

DC United is the best team in Major League Soccer today, and in its history. The team has won four championships since the league’s inception in the mid 1990s. For a soccer team, they sure do sell a lot of tickets. The facility leaves much to be imagined, but since the Nationals came at least RFK Stadium has been spruced up. Tickets are happily cheap, and games are a great weekend activity for the whole family.
