Are there any quality stores in the area to buy baby stuff like Cribs and Strollers and stuff like that?
Is there a good store in the area to buy baby stuff

No. All the specialty stores are overpriced. Just go to costco or target.

So there is a buy buy baby store in Rockville. They seem to have a lot of stuff online, I wonder if their stores have as much stuff. I am not worried so much about cost. More concerned about seeing stuff in person.

Their store is a bit overwhelming. The first time we went in, we never made it out of the stroller aisle.
Yes, there's a huge amount of stuff. And they play the right music and make it smell right and suck you in with lots of cute baby stuff that you don't need but will end up buying if you're prone to that kind of thing.
Just go to Babies'r'Us

That's a great store if you are looking for Chinese-made particle board furniture full of kid-friendly stuff like formaldehyde and melamine (not to be confused with methylamine).
We never used a crib and very seldom used any stroller other than a jogging stroller.
I suggest a shared bed or co-sleeper and then later a futon mattress as better alternatives to cribs.And Baby Bjorns or other slings as much more convenient and nurturing alternatives to strollers.
You can get all of those items new online. Better yet, you can probably find them in good shape used for a fraction of the cost on Craigslist.
You're welcome.

Everything there looked super low quality and flimsy.

because it is. go with solid wood and untreated for your crib. cheap mattresses off gas tons of chemicals too. Sucks to drop cash on this stuff, but it's important. Unlike bigscreen TVs and European cars

I wonder what you would have told him if he had actually asked for parenting advice. Maybe "go to ikea"? Seems like you have your answers and your questions sorted incorrectly.
have a baby . . . wait eighteen years . . . they become this:

My point was to think about what kind of parent you want to be before just going out and reacting to a pregnancy by buying a bunch of shit "you're supposed to have". I think you yourself made the same exact point earlier.
When we were pregnant, we went out and bought crap we were "supposed to buy". We ended up throwing away the crib after never using it, and either selling or giving away the stroller we never used.

You were pregnant?
If you?re in this camp about plural pregnancy announcements, you probably understand that pregnancy is something, that while physically done by the mother alone, take team work. This team work is about mentally and emotionally preparing for the arrival of a new baby into the family. It can also be about the physical support that a new mom needs as she?s going through pregnancy. (Think someone to help do house work, while she?s throwing up in the bathroom.) Typically people in this camp are pregnant for the first time are or trying to conceive. (It?s not to say that it can?t be done or done right, it?s just to say that it?s really hard to feel like you?re a team when only one of you is sick or doesn?t want to eat. The opposite is also true, when you?re alone the one feeling the baby move, that?s a pretty special secret.)

The question is where would one buy such quality mattresses and cribs?
