After-hours BYOB club near U S 40 eyed for opening
Residents critique plans for a Last Call after hours club on U S 40 at Bowers Road. The proposed 8 p m to 3 30 a m or 10 p m to 5 30 a m hours would allow 18 year olds with wristbands while 21 year olds are ID checked. Opponents warn of underage access, highway risk, and traffic from existing bars. They urge alternative to BYOB and note residential area impact near I 70. Local officials depart from details offered by two Rockville owners.

From a Lunch Cart to Moose Lodge Chief in Frederick
George B. Delaplaine Jr. notes the hot dog lunch cart in front of the Court House becomes a symbol of downtown reform as Randy Whitby is named administrator of Lodge 371, Loyal Order of Moose, with health permit approval and hopes for relocation of the snack wagon in milder weather. He recalls the 10 Commandments monument in Memorial Park, moved when the Court House became City Hall, and cites a Midwest court ruling on public monuments. The column salutes Mount St. Mary’s star Paul B. Rhoads for aiding the team’s Northeast Conference title run, relays his beard-fast from a blizzard, and notes commuter rail concerns after a Brunswick MARC-Amtrak crash, projecting slow highway fixes and longer drives to D.C. with lingering winter jokes about the Ides of March 1993 snow.
