"Duchy @ the Diner" Series Begins

This windy morning was the start of our "Duchy @the Diner" series. Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg will be going out to diners throughout Montgomery County for informal chats with constituents. People were already waiting to speak with Councilmember Trachtenberg as she entered the Tastee Diner on Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda this morning. Over coffee, poached eggs and hash browns, Councilmember Trachtenberg spoke informally on issue ranging from housing for people with disabilities to micro-finance issues in developing countries. The informality of the diner setting allowed for a free flowing conversation. The residents of Bethesda and Chevy Chase dropped in and out of the diner to speak with the Councilmember. Duchy @the Diner wrapped up around 9:30 am.
