@mcfrsPIO Posting for those that use these tweets to track pedestrian and bike crashes. Collision occurred when driver was turning left into office complex at 2301 Gaither Rd.

@nickossello This article gives you the marketing lingo and background: https://t.co/jNcE3hUJ5d

Anecdotally, I’ve been hearing about more success with smaller audiences if you are trying to actually sell a product. Whereas, brands trying to grow their own audience go big.

@PremierLacrosse 162 games in a season, make it happen.

@PaulRabil Paul - @BenJohns_pb is a fellow MoCo native who is on the ground floor of building the pro Pickleball tour. So many parallels: #1 in the world, no chill in practice/training, thinking beyond himself for the good of players/game.

The grass is literally greener on MoCo’s side of the proverbial fence.

[SoccerPlex Sports Turf Institute @MDSoccerPlexGEM]

?: How & Why are there green areas on the cool season fields?!

Grass paint!

Darker color absorbs more heat (frm the sun) into the grass canopy to = more growth / recovery in painted areas (high use areas)

Thx @philsimpsonKC
- @GuruScapes @GURUTurf guru - for the assist!

[Patrick Benko @PatrickBenko]

@BoydsHistorical @TheMoCoShow @andrewsaundry Those things are everywhere.

[Patrick Benko @PatrickBenko]

This was place amazing:
- 2 side by side fields with pseudo hockey boards as sidelines
- Parents were behind the sound proof glass on upper level
- Parents were behind the glass in a bar
- Come indoor season my dad was very interested in taking me to every Soccer/Lacrosse game

A spectator at XC champs saw a runner stop to fix a brace. A St. Jerome's runner saw she was having trouble & stopped to help. Near the finish, when runners focus on finishing strong this runner reminded us what being a Catholic athlete is about! 📸 & story credit: Patrick Benko

@DeMathaCatholic had a little pumpkin carving contest in the Benko family.

@mcfrs @VisionZeroMC Thank you for sharing this message.

[Patrick Benko @PatrickBenko]

@mcfrs @VisionZeroMC Did the math...dressing like a clown to go for a walk isn't the answer.

[Patrick Benko @PatrickBenko]

@JohnSha59283957 @DeMathaXC I second those sentiments. - Patrick Benko (class of ‘99 & member of ‘96 championship team)

And if you are looking for pre-2000 times, I was writing for the Red and Blue Review. Should be a few times listed there in the fall issues.

@BmoreGabe I remember a menagerie, the zebra definitely had some friends. Horse, donkey, mini horse? Part of me wants to say there some other things before they downsized.

@actfortransit @MCDOTNow Rode MARC Train from Germantown for 10+ years. I walk/run/bike this street as a calmer & more direct route to the shops along Century Blvd. I would very much put it "towards" the top of my to do list.

But I agree, getting across @MDOTNews's route 118 should be at the top.

[Patrick Benko @PatrickBenko]

The Gude Dr connector trail: starts at @TrueRespite brewing and you run through this. An out and back to Lake Needwood.

Highly recommend.
