TIME LAPSE PHOTOS OF BETHESDA MCDONALD'S SITE CONVERSION TO OFFICE BUILDING

The newest residents of Bethesda may think 4500 East-West Highway always was an office building, not realizing a community institution - McDonald's - once stood there. A reader who provided aerial views of the demolition and construction at the Bethesda McDonald's site for this blog in the past has put together a photo album of the topic in chronological order. (The above photo is mine)

There's also a video he shot of the blasting done when excavators encountered rock beneath the site, which you may recall me posting in the past.

Enjoy Diarmaid's photos and video for a literal "blast" from the past!

      9:59: You're obviously not a longtime resident if you're not aware of the importance of this McDonald's to the community in past decades.
