Here at Potomac Local, we’re committed to making our readers and subscribers smarter about their community, faster.
We cover it like no one else — from what’s going on at city hall, why the cops were on your street last night, to the new restaurant about to open in your neighborhood.
And we’re looking to work with the next generation of online community reporters who are just as curious about their community as we were when we started Potomac Local in 2010.
