| Statement from Equity One regarding the poor condition of the Manor Care site in recent weeks on Facebook Wednesday |
Apparently, Manor Care still has landscaping responsibilities through June, despite having vacated the premises late last year. And Manor Care was delinquent in mowing the lawns and other landscaping duties. That failure led to a growing public relations problem for Equity One, which has extensive redevelopment plans that require community support.
Somebody finally took charge and got the mowers running.
This is the sort of content I come to this blog for. Where else am I supposed to find out when people in Bethesda mowed their lawn?
ReplyDeleteEh, it's urban blight, so I get that he's reporting on a major property being unkept. It's like all of west bard needing a clean up.
Delete10:07 AM If you don't live in Bethesda then, yeah, you probably don't care.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who live in Bethesda care about this and pedestrian safety and the real estate, retail, transportation and restaurant beats that Dyer covers.
10:07 AM - That was not a lawn. It was well on its way to becoming a Weed Borg, so if you had been a neighbor, you would have cared.
ReplyDeleteIt's not as if the guy is going to report your face, if you stop shaving for 9 weeks.
Power of the press!
ReplyDelete2:49: Why, are you like Crispin's Smoking Man from Charlie's Angels 3?
ReplyDeleteDyer's next crusade - the mildew on that brick retaining wall.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Bethesda Magazine's big story today is how to re-heat take out food.
ReplyDeleteLet's agree that Dyer's reporting is more relevant.
Well, actually their review of 45 takeout restaurants does not include instructions on how to re-heat the food. That seems to be a gross oversight for those folks who are making the trip home from those restaurants, on the Short Bus back to Westbard.
ReplyDelete1. Take your pants off your head.
2) Open microwave and insert food.
3) I'm not telling you again - take your pants off your head.
4) Press "1" followed by "0" followed by "0".
5) Press "Start".
6) Do not lick window of microwave while it is in operation. That could cause further brain damage.

ReplyDeleteYou making stuff up, as usual.
Here's an excerpt from that Bethesda Magazine article that they're touting today:
"HOT FLASH: WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO REHEAT LEFTOVER SLICES?
Microwaving may be the fastest, but it’s also the quickest way to kill a crisp crust. Ovens and toaster ovens do the trick, but tend to dry things out."
So, their major story today is how to re-heat pizza?
It's fair to critique Dyer, but at least be consistent. He's not publishing how to re-heat cold pizza. He's talking about stuff people in the community care about.
"[T]heir major story today is how to re-heat pizza"
ReplyDeleteSuuurrre it is.
Now you may take your seat on the Short Bus.
The "How to re-heat cold pizza" piece shows that the dream team is bearing fruit already. Another potential local Edward R. Morrow Award work?
ReplyDelete"How to prepare cold cereal" is the next enterprise series.

Wouldn't that stain the pants?
Amended instructions:
ReplyDelete1) Take pants off head
2) Put pants where they belong
3) Wash yo' hands
4) Take food and put in microwave
3:06pm Keep this brilliance up and you might be offered a job at Bethesda Mag
