Good morning to the geese of the stormwater retention ponds of former Lakeforest Mall.
RIP Lakeforest. And Montgomery. And White Flint.
The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

Good to see partnership between @mcdotnow.bsky.social, City of Gaithersburg, and the Lakeforest Mall developer for a better Lakeforest Transit Center.
This facility must be safe, clean, and reliable for Montgomery Village transit riders who rely on it to access Metro, Montgomery College, and more!
