Thursday Showers, Birdwalk, Town Square Talk in Wheaton

Here are five things you need to know for Thursday, July 18, in Wheaton.

1. WEATHER >> The sun won’t be out in quite full force today. The forecast is partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms and rain showers in the afternoon. High of 91.

2. AROUND TOWN >> There’s a birdwalk for kids going on this morning at Brookside Nature Center. Hopefully the rain will hold off!

3. YOU SAID IT >> What does the Wheaton community want in a town square? Will N. says this: “something unique, something beautiful, but something that is NOT silver spring/bethesda. The developer that does THIS, and markets it as such will win over the community.” Do you agree? Read the story and leave a comment.
