I suppose the most interesting thing (at least, the one thing I hadn’t previously heard about) in the following has to do with the old CompUSA building on Perry Parkway. It appears that VCA Animal Hospitals wants to lease that building; the request is to add 2500 square feet to the building and lose some of the parking area for a “Memorial Garden and Physical Therapy Exercise Yard”. VCA already has animal hospitals on E. Gude Drive and Dufief Mill Rd; it is unclear if they would be moving one of those or if this would be a third outlet in the Gaithersburg/Rockville area. In any event, it would be nice to see one less vacant building in Gaithersburg.
