A hydraulic hammer has arrived at the construction site of The Rugby residential tower, at the corner of Rugby and Del Ray Avenues in downtown Bethesda. The device is being used to excavate rock, and according to a memo sent to nearby residents, the process will take approximately two months. All of the work is expected to be done between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM on weekdays only.

As part of the project's noise suppression plan, noise-dampening panels have been installed on the hydraulic hammer. The Donohoe Companies-developed 17-story building is expected to deliver in 2018.
Very nice straight news reporting, Robert. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteYah, agreed. If he wasn't condescending with his readers and didn't have an agenda all the time and just reported the news, this would be a great little blog.
Delete9:49: You just gave a perfect description of the small and slightly-failing magazine.
DeleteIf the other place is "small and slightly failing" then your blog is "a dead cockroach".
Delete1:32: Is that why my traffic keeps growing, and stats show people spend more time on my site per visit, and click through further, than on the magazine's? Think about it.

ReplyDelete8:36: Downtown near Metro - that's exactly where the height and density should be, and The Rugby is another good example of that. Westbard is nearly 2 miles from Metro, and an auto-centric transit desert.

ReplyDeleteWe all have this kind of morbid curiosity within us.

Lol you have no idea of knowing that. Do they share there stats with you? Next you'll be saying you have more hits than the Washington Post (if you haven't already).
"The magazine" is regularly quoted in many, many, many other news sources and has far more credibility than this blog.
People only come to this site to read about store openings and point out how nutty your absurd conspiracy theories are. The only sources on this blog are yourself, right wing Breitbart-type nuts, and anecdotes from one side of an issue.
6:59: "The magazine" has a product placement agreement with the Washington Post in which they pay for gratuitous mentions in articles, kind of like the Ken Hartman newsletter deal. And yet, they're rarely quoted in other news sources, and the few times they are, it's totally irrelevant and gratuitous. They've never had a single investigative report on Montgomery County government, never exposed a scandal, nada, zip, zilch, zero.
ReplyDelete"People only come to this site to read about store openings" and real hard news coverage of what's going on in Montgomery County, and exclusive investigative reports. Where was the small and slightly-failing magazine's report on the racist treatment of Macedonia Baptist Church by Casey Anderson at the planning HQ? They couldn't print onem, or they'd get in trouble with their angel investors.
I have great sources, more sources, and am cleaning the clock of a cash-flush angel-funded magazine with 3 full-time reporters, moron.
Baba Booey, *******.
"cash-flush angel-funded magazine"
ReplyDeleteProof please.
Why do you call them "cash-flush?" Have you seen their balance sheet?
"Angel-funded" means what? What kind of support do you have for that accusation?
4:34: It was acknowledged in the Washington Post that the mag has angel investors. They declined to identify the mystery investors when asked by reporter Thomas Heath. Greater Greater Washington also refuses to identify the sources of their funding when asked by the Post.
ReplyDeleteAngel investors. Publicly stated. Who are they, and what conflicts of interest and special interests do they represent? We can guess based on some of the editorial content.
