The new studio is on Willow Street, across from the Takoma Park CVS.
Knock on Wood Tap Studio is coming back to where it all started. The studio opened its doors in Takoma Park 15 years ago before moving to Silver Spring.

The studio will be putting on a showcase June 10, featuring current students along with a number of special guests. It will be at 2 p.m. at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. Tickets are $10 each and kids five and under get in free.

We tell you the favorites from our Readers' Choice polls from around the county.
It's almost Mother's Day, which means if you actually planned ahead you either have flowers headed to mom's door or are taking her out to a meal. For nearly two weeks, we asked our Patch readers in Montgomery County to tell us which restaurants were the best within their regions for a meal with mom this Sunday, May 13.

The Gaithersburg creperie features handmade, …

As part of our series on veterans and jobs, we're posting veterans' resumes on Patch. If you're a potential employer, we invite you to take a look.
If you're a veteran or have a veteran in your family, you know that the job market for those formerly in the military can be worse than for civilians. In Maryland, the 8.9 percent unemployment rate among the 28,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans is higher than the state’s overall average. Veterans often get preference in hiring from government agencies but it's still tough out there. Patch has begun telling some of the stories of the struggles of veterans facing fewer employment opportunities, and the successes, too. But, we want to do more. If you are a veteran and are looking for work, we invite you to contact us so we can put your job search information on our sites. We'll feature you in your hometown Patch among hometown employers. We'…
