More than 45 percent of Americans make a resolution every year, according to statisticbrain.com. Some people vow to live a healthier lifestyle, others promise to spend more time with family, and many say they will try to save money.
As millions of Americans make resolutions to improve their lives, what could we do right here in Montgomery Village to make it an even better place to live?
What is on your Montgomery Village wish list? What is one thing you would improve in 2013?
Tell us in the comment section below or blog about why you love living here!
What they want to see during 2013.
You say that nothing is set in stone yet the Vision 2030 Plan was put together to show Montgomery County Planners what people would like to see. As the twig is bent so grows the tree. Let's nip it in the bud, not defend the undependable. The Vision 2030 presentation plan does show a four-story parking garage at the Professional Center just behind the Courts of Whetstone. Similarly, the Vision 2030 presentation plan shows the MVF offices located in the Montgomery Village Shopping Center. Of course, you didn't find a clear voiced statement in the MV News on these objectionable items. As usual the MVF tactic is to fly under the radar.
I assure you that there has been no discussion nor vote on moving the MVF offices, once again an idea put forward is all it was, yet some people have their own opinions as to what has been okayed.
What would I like to see in 2013 - a community that is FLORISHING, coming alive with new ideas, improved park facilities, contiuing our strong financial position, always working on our open processes, hopefully bringing the only large homes corporation that is not managed by the MVF back to Community Managemnt. Wishing everyone a Healthy, Happy New Year .
I condemn Bob Hydorn for insisting that the Vision 2030 does not serve as an enabler for the Montgomery County Planners to approve the four-story parking garage at the Professional Center just behind the Courts of Whetstone. As a resident of Whetstone, I oppose this parking garage at the edge of Whetstone as well as truck parking in Whetstone.
How about a linguist?
First check your own spelling and get back to us. You and Bob obviously attended the same school. In business, it is unforgivable to misspell the brand.
The business of the Montgomery Village Foundation is business. In fact, the MVF spent $50,000 on its "flourish" branding initiative. What is the effectiveness of the initiative to date? What indicator is clear. No one can spell it correctly!
I feel (just my opinion) that putting in restrooms at the lake is inviting problems. 'Back-in-the-day' my kids took part in sports there and people never had the dire need to leave to relieve, or eat (isn't obesity a problem today?). A park should be beautiful and should try to not look like a truck stop. My goodness, no one should be inconvenienced anymore!? I used to like going to the Village Mall past six o'clock without feeling uncertain about my safety. Whatever happened to the proposed police station? Would have been a great deterrent. Level the abandoned bank
The owners and operators of pickup trucks should be allowed to park them in front of their homes.
Has this issue regarding the pickup trucks ever been addressed by our Maryland Court of Appeals?
What is wrong with pickup trucks?
Back to basics again on spelling! This time it's "maintenance" not "maintance". Check it out. Spell checker knew.
In your response to Lois, did you mean that there were takers or that there were not takers when you said, "The empty bank site on Club House Road is for lease, yet there have been takers; once again that is a privately owned property." Please clarify.

I always talk to my landlord about the people.
