Quote of the Day

“The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself.” ~ David Goggins

Have You Seen Mayor Michael Estève's Walking Videos Yet?

If you haven't checked out Bowie Mayor Mike Michael Estève's Facebook page yet, now is a great time to start. One of the things that makes his updates unique is that he often records short videos while walking through neighborhoods and around the city, giving residents an up-close look at the topics that matter most. From pothole repairs and city water infrastructure to property taxes and ongoing improvement projects, Mayor Estève explains issues in a clear, easy-to-understand way while showing what's happening firsthand.

His walking video updates offer more than just information—they provide context, progress updates, and a behind-the-scenes look at how city government is working to serve the community. Residents can learn about current projects, upcoming improvements, and the reasons behind important city decisions.

The question of the week was:

If Bowie added one new annual festival, which would you attend first?

1st: Maryland Crab & Seafood Festival

2nd: Bowie Book & Author Festival

3rd: Food Truck Championship

4th: Spring Flower Festival

15% Off Your First Order of Fresh-Roasted Pods

Most K-Cups sit in a warehouse for months before they reach your brewer — and you can taste it. Angelino's, a third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, does it differently: every pod is roasted, ground, and sealed fresh in-house, then shipped to your door within days of roasting.

Choose from 50+ specialty coffees — single origins, dark roasts, flavored favorites like Jamaican Me Crazy, plus decafs and teas — all compatible with your Keurig® brewer. Mix and match any coffees you like, and watch the savings climb: bulk discounts start at 5+ boxes and reach up to 34% off at 12+.

And here's the best part: new customers get an extra 15% off their first order, on top of bulk savings. It's applied automatically at checkout — no code, no subscription required. Free shipping on orders over $49 or 4+ boxes.

Fresh coffee shouldn't require a coffee shop.
