I'm sorry, it's Riderwood! A long day at work makes the mind hazy.

Rick, was it actually _in_ Leisure World, or could it have been nearby?  I
think there was a working fire on Bel Pre Road at about that time - I was on
the way home and heard something go out, but then had a cell call from
work... and only had VHF capability at the time anyway, and I think they put
whatever it was on "7-Cholly"... 3770 Bel Pre Road sticks in my mind.

Hey, wait a minute... you're talking about Riderwood, not Leisure World!

No, I didn't hear that one... that's where my Mom lives...

Leisure World is on Georgia Ave north of Bel-Pre...

Most of Riderwood is actually in PG county and 41 is first due... there are,
I think, 2 buildings that are actually in Montgomery... weirdly, the whole
place carries a Silver Spring mailing address and 20904 zip code.  The
building numbers run from 3110 through 3160 and all are Gracefield Road, but
note that there are also some townhouses not in the Riderwood complex that
carry Gracefield Road addresses... seems to me that they're 2700 block? 
(Yep, 2700, 2800, 2900 block all in Montgomery County according to the real
estate database).
