Timpano Italian Chophouse has been utterly obliterated at the Montrose Crossing shopping center in the Pike District of North Bethesda. All that remains of the restaurant is a pile of rubble, and a graded dirt area. Property owner Federal Realty plans to build a new retail structure in its place, which will hold multiple retail and restaurant tenants. That structure will likely serve the same purpose at the front of the property as the holdover, low-rise retail did at Federal Realty's neighboring Pike & Rose, when Montrose Crossing is redeveloped in the future.
Sad to see, I miss timpanos!
ReplyDeleteGlad it's gone - it was an over priced rip off joint!
ReplyDeleteWhere would Montgomery County be without Federal Realty? Say what you will about FRT, no other developer is doing ANYTHING of value in the country.
ReplyDeleteThe second picture makes you forget it's on the pike in the middle of congestion.
ReplyDeleteHow is this "hyperlocal Bethesda news"? While there is a lot of arguing about "North Bethesda", I don't know anyone who considers the part of Rockville Pike north of Randolph Road to be anything but "Rockville".
ReplyDeleteIt's not in the City of Rockville.
Delete7:53 Correct. Montrose/Randolph at 355 is the cut off for N Bethesda.
ReplyDeleteOn Montrose/Randolph, from 270 eastbound, the left side of the road is Rockville, the right side is N Bethesda.
7:53: It's part of the Pike District, so you'll have to complain to the county about that designation, which is covered by all other news outlets as being "North Bethesda." Do you consider Montrose Crossing part of "White Flint?" I don't, but the County does. Part of making news understandable is having to use the terms that are in use today, for better or for worse.
