CRANE WEEK IN DOWNTOWN BETHESDA! EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS!

Two cranes appeared over Bethesda Saturday.   In the
foreground is Donohoe's on Auburn Ave.; in the
distance is Bainbridge's on St. Elmo Ave.

Welcome to Crane Week in downtown Bethesda.  No matter what apartment, condo or office building you are in, you can't miss the towering giants now looming over us.  Hulking, steel monstrosities that are more exciting than the lackluster buildings they've been erected to create:  Bainbridge's The Monty, and Donohoe's That 70s Building (a.k.a. The Gallery at Bethesda).

As usual, Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row is the place to turn for full coverage, and Crane Week is no exception.  Get outside to check out the cranes yourself in the Woodmont Triangle (or Old Town Bethesda, to be more accurate).  But with a lot of rain in the forecast today and Tuesday, you'll be glad to know that the best crane action is indoors, on your computer, tablet or smartphone, right here on this blog.

CRANE PHOTO GALLERY 

This morning, you'll find the number of photos in the gallery has already more than doubled.  And more are on the way.  You can even watch the cranes being assembled.

Stay tuned for more Crane Week coverage this week.  In fact, I'll be posting another exclusive Crane Week surprise later today.

Soon, a third crane will join the Bethesda skyline, right here at Bethesda Row, to build The Darcy on the former Lot 31.

There's no known cure for crane fever, so you might as well relax and enjoy the coverage right here on Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row.
