• MD restaurant named to NYT list of best 50 in US (thedailyrecord.com) — Clarksburg's own Chef's Counter at Burnt Hill Farm has been named one of the New York Times' 50 best restaurants in the country, spotlighting its intimate 12-seat setting on a local farm and vineyard. The tasting menu leans on ingredients grown on-site, paired with Burnt Hill wines, putting Clarksburg firmly on the national food map for destination dining. 
• Auto Thefts, Burglary and Robbery Among Incidents in MCPD Weekend Summary (mocoshow.com) — Montgomery County Police reported several weekend incidents in the 5th District, which includes Clarksburg, Germantown and Damascus, including a weapons-and-drug arrest after a traffic stop and multiple thefts and a burglary. While none were pinpointed to a specific Clarksburg street, residents share these patrol resources, so the report offers a useful snapshot of nearby crime trends and police activity.
• One teen held, another released on bond after Northwest High armed robbery (bethesdamagazine.com) — A former Clarksburg High School student, now enrolled in online school, is being held without bail in connection with an armed robbery inside Northwest High School in Germantown, while an 18-year-old co-defendant was released on unsecured bond. Police say a 15-year-old student used a ghost gun to rob another student in a bathroom, raising fresh concerns about youth access to handguns in nearby schools.
