Outdoor seating installed at the Flats at Bethesda Avenue (Photos)

Pottery Barn opened ten days ago in the ground floor retail space in the Flats at Bethesda Avenue apartments. But with its first eatery, PAUL Bakery, scheduled to debut June 22, the race is on to provide the basic amenities in the public areas outside the development.

To that end, workers were installing seating out front on the ample sidewalk Sunday. PAUL Bakery plans to have 20 seats of its own on its outdoor terrace when it opens. Still on the way at the Flats are new restaurant concept Silver, and salad palace Chopt.

The benches were well-selected, as the design and color fit perfectly with the railings and steps already in place there. Now if somebody can just power wash away the Quikrete powder on the sidewalks around the property that's messing up everybody's shoes there, and by the trailside entrance to the Capital Crescent Garage...

    I notice they have the "handrails" on those benches which are actually there to prevent people sleeping on them. Good idea.

    Hopefully these tables and benches will be level, unlike the ones at the Bainbridge.

    Looking forward to seeing some kids get their heads stuck in those handrails. That's what you get for trying to prevent railslides!
