Welcome to The Dark Side of White Flint, an ongoing series about the not-so-wonnerful, wonnerful, wonnerful side of urbanizing the suburbs of Montgomery County.
Another pair of holdouts at dying White Flint Mall have closed. No more cookies at Mrs. Fields, and no more salon appointments at Robert Lewis Salon.
Coincidentally, Debbi Fields opened her first cookie shop in California in 1977 - the same year that White Flint Mall opened to great acclaim on Rockville Pike.

Where will we get oversized chocolate chip cookies? Urbanist, smart growth conspiracy! Fight the power Robert Dyer! I want cookies! I want them now!
Not everyone in Montgomery County makes a county councilmember salary of $130,000 a year, to afford $100 gourmet restaurant dinners every night.
Spending $36,500 on dinner alone in one year seems a bit much, even for a $130,000 salary. But come on Robert! Don't forget the kickbacks I'm sure all county politicians get from Mrs. Fields-hating developers.
Meanwhile, the rest of us in "real Montgomery County" are left without cookies.
