We wrap up "the past, present, and future of Rockville" by bookending our conversation with Sunil Dasgupta with Mayors Ashton and Ashman, who talk about what cooperation and competition look like in practice. They had many restaurant recommendations, and hopefully we captured them all below. What a great hour!
Rockville Classics: Bombay Bistro--Rockville legend La Canela--gracious, family-owned, and run, you'll feel a little fancy when you go there. Giuseppi's Pizza Plus--Community favorite and a tremendous supporter of Rockville, just signed another 10-year lease! Hard Times Cafe Il Pizzico
Jaime moved to Rockville in 2013 after separating from Active Duty; he is still an Air Force reservist. He is an attorney and in his civilian career he works for the federal government, with his office located right in Rockville. He lives with his wife and daughter in Twinbrook. When not shuttling his daughter from softball practice, to karate class, or to a swim lesson, you can likely find him at one of the local pickleball courts in the area, as he is an avid (yet surprisingly still mediocre) player.
Suzan is in her "second act" as a non-profit director after a career in the Texas public school system (she might never recover). Suzan and her husband, David, and their son, Matthew, moved to Rockville from New Braunfels, Texas in 2013 and have made East Rockville their forever home.
Monique is a 19-year Rockville resident and a mother of three (two kids and a dog), and loves this Rockville--the people, the places, and the special culture that makes it such an exciting place to live.
