I can't wait till Westbard looks like this.
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to it too.
DeletePoppy - want to bring out your "bad girl" side and go for a quickie in the parking deck here?

ReplyDeleteRobert, I do have to say, if you can get your paws on these photos, any average Joe walking down the street can
ReplyDelete^That's getting old - not the joke, but the actual interaction. I'm ready to graduate to Poppy's equinox-fueled bubble butt
ReplyDeleteMORIBUND.
ReplyDeleteWith this REI opening will the other one up the Pike close?
ReplyDeleteand is the Porsche/Audi up the street converting to only Audi?
Great shots. Love the perspective. Thanks!
ReplyDelete@801 not sure because I believe Federal owns the center with the other REI as well
ReplyDeleteThe Pike & Rose REI will supplant, not supplement, the one opposite Montrose Crossing. Federal owns Montrose Crossing but not the shops on the west side of Rockville Pike.
ReplyDeleteIs anything planned to take REI's previous spot?
DeleteWhat 8:52 said. REI is moving. Federal Realty owns the big box community centers not the strip malls
ReplyDeleteNice photos! It's amazing that they're doing so much at the same time. One of the biggest advantages to being a REIT--access to capital. JBG should take note. Phase II of their much smaller property at North Bethesda Market is about 6 years overdue.
ReplyDeleteYou know Robert didn't take these cause there aren't any stupid looking filters on them!
ReplyDeleteRobert is opening up a store in a part of the REI space to exhibit his favorite products from his youtube channel and sell twinkies! Stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteThat REI looks like it is going to be very progressive with all those solar panels. I smell a big hiking clothes shopping spree coming on!
ReplyDelete"Robert is opening up a store in a part of the REI space to exhibit his favorite products from his youtube channel and sell twinkies! Stay tuned!"
ReplyDeleteCool
Robert, I have to ask, did you obtain permission and the rights to use those photos from Clark Construction? Otherwise I believe that's plagiarism/theft?
ReplyDeleteGreat exclusive look at Pike & Rose from above!
ReplyDeleteWhat objective reader truly says something like that?
Delete@ 9:16 AM sure is clingy. He can't even wait two minutes to respond to Poppy.
ReplyDelete7:01 AM - When the Bois du Ouest is under construction, Poppy will host hang-glides and hot-air balloon rides over the site. It will be awesome!
ReplyDelete@ 10:13 AM - How do you say, "if this balloon basket's a-rockin', then don't come a-knockin'", in French?
ReplyDeletePoppy - I smell a big meaty sausage coming for you soon! I'll shape it up to be as gourmet as you'd like!
ReplyDeletePoppy, I assume you'll be looking mostly at the Patagonia line of clothing for your hiking adventures? They're really quite the progressive company if you take the time to read about them.
ReplyDeleteI still want to know if Robert acquired those photographs legally and ethically! He clearly didn't take them, but posted them on his blog
ReplyDelete12:38 PM There is a photo credit. Did you see it?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen so many comments about something as mundane as a photo credit which is right in front of you.
That's how little readers trust Dyer
DeleteDyer sure has been sleepin all day! Birdbrain can't come up with an intelligent response.
ReplyDelete@12:55 Photo credits don't necessarily mean the images were used legally. If I were to play a song in my band in public, say "Welcome to the Jungle" and just credit Guns n' Roses, that doesn't make it legal, I would still owe them a royalty fee. Birdbrain!
ReplyDelete2:12 PM No offense, but you're not a journo. You don't know what you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteLeave photo credits to the experts, like Dyer. He's been reporting for awhile here.
"the experts, like Dyer."
ReplyDeleteLOL
2:59 PM If you've written news articles, please link to them.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, you don't know what you're talking about.
Writing a term paper in school doesn't qualify you to comment on how to write news articles.
@ 3:07 PM is a True Believer. LOL
ReplyDelete3:16 PM Has never written anything published...other than anonymous comments :)
ReplyDelete2:47, Can you clarify how Dyer is an expert?
ReplyDeleteObvious trolls are obvious.
ReplyDeleteObvious shills are obvious. See how that works?
DeleteHow is Dyer an expert? Read his masthead.
ReplyDeleteThat's making fun of him, right?
Delete5:10 Why do you need to know troll?
ReplyDeleteEyes bleeding.
@ 5:23 PM - Why do you need to know why he needs to know?

ReplyDeleteRobert Dyer is a well established journalist. He's been covering MoCo longer than any other active writer that I'm aware of.
ReplyDeleteBeing a life long resident, he can put the news into better context than a freelancer who lives elsewhere.
What freelancer lives elsewhere?
Delete"Freelancer" seems to describe Dyer better.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't see how Mom's basement gives him "the ability to put news into better context". Journalism by birthright?
Haha..you can't argue that the traditional media outlets in MoCo don't heavily use freelancers and interns to write articles.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with that, but quality is below a well established journalist like Dyer. They simply don't know the landscape, issues and major players in the county like Dyer does.
From today's Washington Post: Many of those office towers surrounding Washington are sitting empty
ReplyDelete"Suburban locales are facing record-high vacancies as employers curb their appetite for space and shift their attention to more urban locales, but downtown also has a glut of available space."
And the article starts with Tysons Corner.
Dyer never acknowledges this thread of conversation.

"quality is below a well established journalist like Dyer."
ReplyDeleteThe True Believer has spoken again, from Mom's Basement's Sub-basement.
"They don't rabidly hate the elected officials in the county like Dyer does."
ReplyDeleteWell, Dyer hasn't got his share of attaboys from Councilmembers.
DeleteThat's a good thing.
Allright, who opened the idiot box and let 6:56 out?
ReplyDelete@758 - ur mom
ReplyDelete8:33AM I've had snappier comebacks from a bowl of Rice Krispies.
