A Look Back (Videos)

The week of May 19 is coming to a close as we head into a three-day holiday weekend.

From the Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent issuing a statement about failing grades on math exams to the County Council passing the $4.8 billion budget to the collapse of a portion of a parking garage at Montgomery Mall to the celebration of the Gaithersburg Book Festival: here’s a look back at some of the blogs and videos and photos posted on the MyMCMedia.org website.

Since it is Memorial Day weekend, let’s begin with our post about where to find a county swimming pool since this is the unofficial start of summer: https://archive.mymcmedia.org/montgomery-county-pools-open-for-summer-season/

We have also posted info about the popular Hometown Holidays event in downtown Rockville: https://archive.mymcmedia.org/rockvilles-hometown-holidays-video/

Here are some other links to a few more blogs posts and videos from earlier this week:

The Montgomery County Council unanimously passes the budget: https://archive.mymcmedia.org/final-action-on-budget-expected-today/

Failing math exam grades were a hot topic this week too: https://archive.mymcmedia.org/dr-joshua-starr-math-statement/

This subject was also discussed on “21 This Week:” https://archive.mymcmedia.org/failing-math-exam-scores-video/

One of our most popular videos and posts this week was our recap of the Gaithersburg Book Festival: https://archive.mymcmedia.org/gaithersburg-book-festival-the-story-video/

We are continuing to add content from this literary event on our Gaithersburg Book Festival page too. You can find it under the arts queue. Look for extras from some of my interviews with the authors, such as MTV original VJ Mark Goodman.

The collapse of a portion of the parking garage at Montgomery Mall had Twitter buzzing on May 23: https://archive.mymcmedia.org/construction-accident-at-montgomery-mall/
