The Apple Store has reopened at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, just days ahead of the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday. On display inside the expanded store is the new MacBook Pro with Touchbar. As you can see in the picture below, it is no less crowded, but at least is now more comparable in size to the popular Bethesda Row location.
Also returning to the mall is gift shop As Kindred Spirits, now in the space outside of Nordstrom on Level 1 recently vacated by GameStop.

Not to be outdone by Apple, the Microsoft Store - across from Starbucks on Level Two - is gearing up for holiday shopping by offering pre-orders for the coveted Surface Studio.

I checked out Dyer's other blog "Rockville Nights". Here's what I found:
ReplyDelete-90% of the articles there are simply reposted verbatim from this blog. Dyer should sue himself for plagiarism.
-Almost no comments, indicating almost no readers.
Rockville Nights is the leading City of Rockville news site in monthly audience, so someone definitely is reading it :)
DeleteI read Rockville Nights every morning with a cup of coffee. It seems like every day Robert Dyer is reporting on another development!
ReplyDelete5:59: Please, I encourage people to check out RockvilleNights.com to find out what a filthy liar you are.
ReplyDeleteIt's the most-read Rockville news site, moron. And like all of my sites, the most-copied, as well. As one man, I've reshaped the media landscape in Montgomery County. Still no Thomas Heath article about me in the Post, though. Hmm...
Suck a fat one, Robert
ReplyDeleteAs if you could afford that new Macbook
ReplyDeleteOnly in MoCo can a journalist like Dyer be attacked by local government employees/councilmembers, in addition to their friends in the local legacy media.
ReplyDeleteMy visit to Dyer's Rockville blog this morning doubled the number of site visits for the past month.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: ...for the past year.
I like that Dyer doesn't shake me down for my Pay Pal account to read Rockville Nights :)
ReplyDelete7:08: Bull****. That EYA-funded site pales in comparison to RockvilleNights.com. The most popular articles are determined by readers, Mr. Dumass.
ReplyDelete7:03: Keep dreaming, idiot. RockvilleNights.com is so "unpopular," that the MoCo cartel had to fund a "competitor." Unfortunately, much like your favorite Bethesda site, the "competitor" is a site at war with the very residents who would read it. Not a great business model for success.
7:13: "And if you order in the next 15 minutes, we'll throw in this vegetable chopper for free! Operators are standing by."
ReplyDeleteLoservilleNights.com Let's stop talking about trashy Rockville folks.
ReplyDeleteHow come Dyer can never provide any actual statistics on his readership?
ReplyDelete7:52 AM Third party analytics, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThey show Dyer has the most read Rockville news source.
7:23: The most-read Rockville site never gets labeled "loser." RockvilleNights.com is beating the "competition," even those from the "surrounding towns," bigly.
ReplyDeleteFolks advertising their self published blogs on Dyer's article about the Apple Store.
ReplyDeleteIt should be very easy to copy the data from these "third-party analytics" and post it here.
ReplyDeleteThe ball is in your court, Dyer and/or shill.
I will try this again, RockvilleNights is tired and old. You are still posting the "EAST DUMPLING HOUSE MENU GRAND OPENING" story from three years ago (April 2013)! You call that breaking news. I call it lazy journalism or blogging at its worst.
ReplyDelete8:31 AM Plenty of third party analytics you can access on the Internet. Google is your friend!
ReplyDeleteAnd, no, I won't give you my credit card number to read your self published Rockville blog.
Tired and old, indeed.
Dyer has pulled out the Trumpisms? Maybe Bannon is hiring for the alt-right media arm of the White House?
ReplyDelete#DodgingUnsignedDyer
ReplyDelete"It's the most-read Rockville news site, moron."
ReplyDeleteLol what a joke. Source? (And don't give me the third-party analytics nonsense unless you have a link)
"And like all of my sites, the most-copied, as well."
Another lie.
"As one man, I've reshaped the media landscape in Montgomery County."
Hahaha, please stop. The time stamps on your posts and comments aren't even in the right timezone.
All you've done is attract trolls. Not a single person ever has anything to positive to say about your wildly misguided "op-eds" (not counting you anonymously see: 6:02am), and anytime you get a legit negative comment you insult the author. There are a million and one other Trumpnut blogs just like yours, you just happen to have the only one in Montgomery County.
8:42am I don't really see a lot about Trump on this site other than covering Leventhal wetting his bed after the election. And Reamer's creepy posts about school kids protesting.
DeleteWe have enough problems in MoCo. No need to bring the President Elect into every conversation.
You sound like a nut claiming no one but you reads Dyer's local news sites. It's almost like you want Dyer all to yourself and you can't fathom sharing his wisdom.
"You sound like a nut"
ReplyDeleteNow, where have we heard that phrase before?
#UnsignedDyer
8:57am you're back to your conspiracy theory that every comment is either you or Dyer. You won't share Dyer with other readers...just the two of you verbally sparring. Sounds nutty to me.
DeleteP.S. I still won't give you my credit card number to read your self published blog. You'd stagger to Belby's and charge me for your booze.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDelete9:00am you're doing Councilmember's dry cleaning, so you probably know more on the matter.
DeleteSorry, that should have been "Hans Riemer peeing in his pants".
ReplyDelete10:04 AM Bethesda Magazine isn't a Rockville focused news site.
ReplyDeleteTry again.
10:37am You spent most of your day arguing with folks here and looking up stats on Dyer's sites. Keep it up and maybe Leventhal will hire you.
ReplyDeleteSo Dyer has once again been revealed to be a Legend Only In His Own Mind.
ReplyDeleteStrong work, Skeptical and Enquiring Bethesdians!
11:14am You post fictional numbers and pat yourself on the back? You do have a future in local government!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a dog in this fight but it's painfully obvious that Dyer is posting as anonymous in his own articles, to back himself up, and that's a shame. Don't stoop to that level
ReplyDelete12:03: "I don't have a dog in this fight...but I hate Robert Dyer, and will spend my valuable time posting lies in his comment section!!!"
DeleteSo let's see your "real" numbers, #UnsignedDyer @11:46 AM.
ReplyDelete12:03 PM Dyer is pretty active, posting under his own name always.
ReplyDeleteWhy would he post as anonymous as well? Makes no sense.
Or are you floating your conspiracy theory again that you and Dyer are the only two people that post here? And therefore it is destiny that you and Dyer rule MoCo together?
Almost 40 comments so far, and none on topic about the Apple Store..lol.
ReplyDeleteI swear the negative anonymous guy must spend all day thinking about Robert Dyer.
12:26 PM Should Dyer be flattered or frightened?
ReplyDeleteInsane troll proves how successful my news sites have been - they've literally got him bouncing off the walls of his rubber room. When you have a fake or failed site, you don't have hired crazies trolling you all day. Just attaboys from Riemer and Leventhal.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a conversation you're having with yourself there, Dyer.
ReplyDeleteFolks always come here to advertise their latest self published blogs. :)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Dyer/8:52am
ReplyDelete"8:42am I don't really see a lot about Trump on this site other than covering Leventhal wetting his bed after the election. And Reamer's creepy posts about school kids protesting.

Your habit of logging out to pretend that somebody else actually believes the stupidity you post is very obvious and very disturbing. You really need help.
You also need to brush up on reading comprehension, since you're post makes absolutely zero sense in the context of my original post (8:42).
@2:00pm
WTF are you talking about?
All the nitpicking complaints.
ReplyDeleteThis Dyer blog really bothers you, doesn't it?
Why? What's got you so invested in this blog that it's led to obsession?
