I think they might have different franchise owners, or they think people in Rockville are dumb enough to pay extra for the same product, or something.

We live in a free market society. If "the people" want death by donut, it is their right. Is that not what our forefathers sacrificed their lives for? Now that may seem odd to some, but this is the only one of the thirteen original colonies that brought John Waters -- of Pink Flamingos fame -- into the world.

This makes us no better than someplace in Virginia or non-Montgomery Maryland. It's the same old high-fat, corporate stuff we already have. Why aren't the developers who've taken over our community at least required to run these tennants by a community group for approval before signing them up? I'd much rather see a branch of the co-op, or a fruit smoothie shop, than this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
