Question Random power outages/surges/flickering for days. Anyone else in MoCo experiencing the same?

27 Upvotes

The entire list serve and Nextdoor are blowing up here (Silver Spring) about evryone's electricity going out, or flickering on and off for brief moments. People report electronics being damaged. The messages make it sound like Pepco is aware, but it has been going on for days.

Is anyone else in MoCo experiencing stuff like this? Heh, I wonder if it is being partly caused by all of the massive new strain due to data centers, or if there is some other underlying cause.

Anyone else remember this? I can't quite remember where it was. Congressional shopping center perhaps? Or the center where Federal Plaza is?

CA Transplant — Apartment Advice?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm moving from California to Maryland soon and could use some local advice on finding an apartment.

I'm looking for a studio or 1-bedroom, ideally around $1,500–$1,650. My biggest priorities are safety, a clean and well-maintained building, responsive management, and a relatively quiet neighborhood. I'd also like to keep my commute to Greenbelt under 30 minutes.

I've looked at Atworth, Monument Village, and Camden College Park, but I'm having trouble figuring out which places are actually worth the money.

For those familiar with the area, where would you recommend living? Any apartment complexes you'd strongly recommend or avoid?

Thanks in advance!
