This group is only open to past and present residents; messages are not moderated.

Nextdoor is a social platform that connects neighbors based on their location. Nextdoor Bannockburn includes both sides of Wilson Lane bridging this traditional boundary between the Bannockburn Civic Association and the Bannockburn Citizens Association.  Nextdoor Bannockburn is currently moderated by two Bannockburn residents, Richard Boltuck and Christo Andonyadis. Nextdoor lets you control how much news you want to receive, and from what neighborhoods. (Nextdoor automatically provide access to many neighborhoods adjacent to Bannockburn, essentially tripling its true geographic boundaries.)

To join, click Nextdoor Bannockburn, fill in your details, and follow the instructions to confirm that your address is within the Nextdoor Bannockburn boundaries pictured below (a security measure to make sure outsiders don’t have access to material only posted on Nextdoor Bannockburn).

Nextdoor is good for receiving information from the wider Bethesda community, including law enforcement safety notifications and sales notices. What it’s not as good at is encouraging more in-depth discussions about current, hyper-local issues amongst community members.
