Criswell Maserati has some appropriately-expensive cars on display at the high-end shopping mecca Shops at Wisconsin Place, and luxury apartments of Wisconsin Place, in Chevy Chase. They're promoting them for lease, rather than outright purchase, though. Bring the car around, Jeeves.

Your use of the word "mecca" to describe a shopping district, is rather insensitive towards Muslims.
Why would one have an English chauffeur drive an Italian sports sedan?
Pretty! They have been there for half a year maybe.
There's a bit more to this story. Many Maseratis, and all Alfa Romeo 4C's are made at the same factory in Modena, Italy. That Criswell dealership has the franchise for both. The problem is the main office is sending Criswell tons of Maseratis, and no Alfas. Criswell has around 100 Maseratis in stock, and 1-2 Alfas at most. Criswell won't even take orders on Alfas, because they can't guarantee when an Alfa will show up.
In short, due to mismanagement in Italy, Criswell and other US dealers are getting flooded with Maseratis that end up sitting on the lot, meanwhile customers are clamoring for Alfas and none are available to buy.
It's a bit of a drive, but head up to Criswell in Germantown for a look -- it's row after row of Maseratis up there. They must be sitting on $10 million in Maserati inventory.
Take it up with the Mirriam Webster Dictionary. It has a positive connotation and is a nice example of our nation and the English language integrating other cultures. There may well be Muslims that would be offended by this; however, none of my Muslim friends have ever reacted thus.
Where can one find this "Mirriam Webster" dictionary? What year did Ms. Webster publish it?
Merriam. You may wish to focus more on fixing the problems with overcrowded high schools and failing math competencies, rather than a typo from one preoccupied.
12:24: Your lazy Sunday off just shockingly coincided with no troll comments posted on the blog, once again proving you are the troll.
OMG! Dyer just proved that "the troll" is in fact, "THE TROLL"!
He comments on "busy" days, that's proof that he's "the troll".
He comments on "lazy" days, that's proof that he's "the troll".
He's Westbard's Jessica Fletcher!

Please. I suppose calling it "shopping heaven" would be insensitive to Christians? This use of "mecca" has been in common use for a long, long time.
