One question that I hadn't thought of before a commenter posed it last week is, will the Bethesda Harris Teeter be 24 hours? With the Montgomery vs. Fairfax rivalry still going strong, it has to be pointed out that the Tysons Harris Teeter is open 24 hours. And Tysons isn't even transformed into an urban area yet.

No photos / tour of the persei yet? No update on if they ever cleared the 3rd and 4th floors for occupancy? I don't know what we're paying you for...
Dude, every Harris Teeter in the country is open 24 hours. Not everything is about the county's economic development record compared to Tysons, though as a Republican political candidate you sure would like it to be.
Yelp and Google say the Germantown Teeter is open 5am-midnight.
Baltimore is open 6am-midnight.
etc.
Amazingly, this would be downtown Bethesda's only grocery store open 24 hours.
Never understood why the Old Georgetown Giant is 24 hours, but not Bethesda Row.
So it's a legitimate question to ask whether the new Harris Teeter will be be 24 hours. The Bethesda Row Giant initially advertised that it would be 24 hours, but turned out not to be.
The only 24 hour places in Woodmont Triangle currently are threatened by the new arts center: 7 Eleven, Tastee and CVS.
A true urban downtown doesn't close at midnight.
I wasn't aware grocery store hours were a political question, but given the comparison of White Flint vs. Tysons in economic development terms - well, actually there is no comparison. Fairfax is destroying MoCo in that regard, but I'm not sure the hours of a grocery store will have any relevance to economic development. It's more of an urban planning or "nighttime economy" issue.

Both the "old" Safeway at Arlington/Bradley and the Giant on Arlington (old location) tried 24 hours. It did not work.
Of course, that was 10+ years ago.
