Montgomery Mall and Wheaton Plaza (Westfield whatever) are shortening their hours as of March 1st. They will now open at 10:30 on weekdays instead of 10am and close at 9pm instead of 9:30. Saturday hours are 10am to 9pm (instead of closing at 9:30) and Sunday is unchanged at 11am to 6pm.
It seems the slowing economy is getting to them too.

The Metrobus Q2 (Veirs Mill Road line) is being studied
The Q2 is one of the most used lines in the Metrobus system with 10,200 passengers a day. They are looking for ways to improve service and will be having a public meeting on Thursday, February 5 at the Holiday Park Senior Center, 3905 Ferrara Drive, Silver Spring, MD. The open house will begin at 6:30 pm, followed by a presentation at 7:00 pm.
They also are conducting a ridership survey. They did it on the bus on Dec 17, but you can fill it out online too. If you ride the Q2 go fill it out.
When I was younger I rode the Q2 every day. It took a long time and traffic was slow, but it was faster (and much cheaper) than taking the red line from Shady Grove to Silver Spring. I looked at the comments people wrote on the survey and it looks like things are worse than when I rode it. Overcrowded to the point that the bus drivers can't always pick up passengers, no buses for a while then two or three right in a row, still only rarely have the extra long buses.
