It's time for the next Greater Greater Washington happy hour! Join us next month in White Flint for drinks and conversation with contributors, readers, and our friends at the Friends of White Flint.

Our next happy hour is Tuesday, January 17 from 6-8 pm at Owen's Ordinary, located in North Bethesda at 11820 Trade Street. If you've been to Churchkey on 14th Street, you'll dig the beer list at this new bar and restaurant from the same owners. And if you havent been to White Flint in a while, you'll get to check out the latest updates to transform this car-strewn stretch of Rockville Pike into Montgomery County's newest downtown.

Owen's Ordinary is a five-minute walk from the White Flint Metro station on the Red Line. Ride On routes 5 and 26 stop one block away on Old Georgetown Road, while routes 42, 46, and 81 stop on nearby Rockville Pike. If you're biking, you can take the new protected lanes on Woodglen Drive and Nebel Street and see the county's first protected intersection.

If you're coming, please RSVP here. In recent months we've had happy hours in Gallery Place, Courthouse, and Navy Yard. Where should we go next?

Also, mark your calendar for Thursday, February 9, when we'll be hosting another workshop on how to write blog posts. This one will be at the Metropolitan Square WeWork, at 655 15th Street NW. More info will be out next month, but if you have questions in the meantime, email staff editor Jonathan Neeley at jneeley@ggwash.org.
