The sidewalk on the Wisconsin Avenue side of the Solaire Bethesda luxury apartments officially reopened Monday. Unlike some construction sites in downtown Bethesda, a covered pedestrian walkway had kept this passage accessible during the lengthy construction period, but you'll notice the new sidewalk is now further back from the traffic on Wisconsin.
When it opens, the Solaire will have 139 apartments, and a True Food Kitchen restaurant on the ground floor. A fall delivery is expected. The Solaire is being developed by the Washington Property Company at 7100 Wisconsin, the former site of Eastham's Exxon.

Is this where the True Foods Kitchen is going?

Dyer, The County Liquor monopoly has existed for decades. How did Riemer's support for it cause these nine bars to suddenly fail?
Robert please answer my question first
Robert please use this newly accessible sidewalk to proceed into the building, onto the elevator, get off on the top floor, and jump.
Should have made your name Stanley Steamer!
Dan, while I love my husband very dearly, I feel no need to take his name. This is 2016, you know.
My apologies, Anita. You are right - this is 2016. I can't help but noticed you used the term "husband" in your post. This infers the male gender. Is your husband comfortable identifying with a gender in 2016?
6:30: Yes, on the ground floor.
6:52: Because Riemer said through extensive, friendly local media coverage that government had no place in the liquor business - and then proceeded to flip-flop and endorse government control of liquor! That's why the term limits crusade is being led by several restaurant and bar owners in downtown Bethesda. Hans blew it.
A quick update - I just walked around the site about an hour ago, and they are now demoing the outer part of the old sidewalk in front of this. Then the new Bethesda streetscape standard sidewalk will be installed out to the curb.
Thanks Robert! True Foods will no doubt be a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Looking forward to your reviews.
The sidewalk on Wisconsin stayed open because Wisconsin is a state road, and the state cares more about pedestrian access than the county.
Dyer @ 8:24 AM - So how did that cause the "9 bars" to fail?
