The last Office Depot store in Montgomery County has closed at 11130 New Hampshire Avenue in White Oak. Signage has been taken down from the storefront, and windows have been papered over. I'd like to thank a loyal reader who brought to my attention another, more notorious, reason this store location was notable in the past. A Montgomery County police officer, Phillip Carl Metz, was tragically killed in the line of duty here when it was a W. Bell & Co. store on March 27, 1981. Officer Metz was 33 when he was fatally shot by a gunman who had broken into the store.
