Couple's son: 'I consider it hate mail.'
A man caring for his aging parents in Rockville was already disturbed by an anonymous letter mailed to their home earlier this week. Now he’s troubled that authorities might not be able to do much about it. “Right now I have no idea if this were a one-off incident or not,” Armen Sahagian said. “But it was very troubling to me because I have enough to worry about with my parents. While there's nothing threatening in there, I'm not going to assume there couldn't be something threatening. Do I have to be looking outside the window now, looking to see who's going to be coming next to my parents' house?” The Sahagians are American-born citizens of Armenian descent. Armen Sahagian said his parents, Ara and Salpee Sahagian, received a piece of …

Take note of these holiday shipping deadlines and plan accordingly.
Time is running out for holiday gift and card shipping through the U.S. Postal Service. Mail parcels and packages before the post office closes Friday for parcel post delivery by Christmas, and mail cards by Dec. 21, the post office's blog advises. If you miss those days, though, you're still OK—as long as you're fine with paying a little extra. Here are the absolute-last-day deadlines to keep in mind, according to the U.S. Postal Service's holiday calendar: A good way to cut down on time spent waiting in line is to order your holiday stamps through the post office's website. This year's holiday stamps offer something for everyone: a fun "Santa and Sleigh" assortment, a "Holiday Baubles" assortment, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa stamps, a depiction…

Lobby of former post office will retain some of its historic look.
The Rockville City Council on Monday broke ground on work that will convert the former U.S. Post Office in Town Center to a new home for the city’s police force. City Council members and city staff joined U.S. Rep. Christopher Van Hollen Jr. (D-Dist. 8) of Kensington, city police Chief Terrance N. Treschuk and representatives of Costello Construction in turning a few ceremonial shovelfuls of earth to mark the project's start. The project’s $8.6 million cost includes design, equipment and moving police operations from their current home in the bottom floor of City Hall to the building at the corner of South Washington Street and West Montgomery Avenue. The new headquarters will house all of the current police force and will allow for 10 …

Conversion of old post office expected to cost about $8.6 million.
The city’s police department is a step closer to moving out of City Hall. The Rockville City Council voted unanimously—and without debate—on Monday to award a $6.4 million construction contract for converting the old post office in the Town Center into a new police station to Costello Construction of Maryland from Columbia. The vote on the contract was part of the meeting’s consent agenda. The council had already approved moving forward with the project as part of the fiscal 2011 budget, city manager Scott Ullery said. The city has already spent about $700,000 on the design of the new station, said Burt Hall, who as the city’s director of recreation and parks also oversees facilities. The total cost of the project, including design, …

Jeez, what stupid people will do. The Armenian connection to Boston is completely coincidental. Armenia is almost entirely Christian — in fact it’s the world’s oldest Christian state — not a hotbed of jihadists. What I’m guessing this idiot missed is that this “Misha” character converted to Islam here and even so has also since disavowed the attack saying he would have tried to stop it, had he … more ›
