5 Things You Need to Know Today: July 26
Your daily digest of need-to-know information about Potomac.
Good morning, Potomac! It's a beautiful Tuesday in the neighborhood. Here are five things you need to know today to stay on top of what’s going on in the community:
1. Get ready to enjoy the best weather we've seen in more than a week: today will be sunny, but minus the extreme heat and (especially) humidity so it will feel much more comfortable. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s. Tuesday night will clear, becoming partly cloudy late with lows in the 60s.
2. Today the Montgomery County Council will hold a public hearing on the county teen curfew bill, this afternoon 1:30 p.m. at the County Council Building (100 Maryland Ave., Rockville). The proposed legislation would ban anyone younger than 18 from public places after 11 p.m. weekdays and midnight on weekends, except when accompanied by (or acting at direction of) parents, or participating in school or religious functions. The hearing comes on the heels of last week's lively community meeting in Silver Spring, where residents, police, county officials and students debated the controversial proposal.

A limited number of chairs are provided (but bringing your own lawn is advised). Shows start promptly at 9 p.m. Tonight's film: The Breakfast Club. (See the rest of the ).
