Addie's taking shape at Park Potomac (Photos)

A beloved Montgomery County restaurant is about to make a return at Park Potomac. The bare bones of Addie's, which restaurateur Jeff Black once operated at 11120 Rockville Pike near White Flint Mall, are starting to take shape in the more modern Foulger-Pratt development off I-270.

You can see there will be a substantial outdoor patio dining area, as well as a raw bar, and the fan favorite mussels on the menu. Addie's is named after Black's grandmother.

    Is this the sponsored content you told us about? I am still curious about the 2 ads you sold.

    From Robert Dyer's "About [Me]" page:

    "Robert has also been an advocate for the disabled and victims of domestic violence."

    I don't recall seeing any mention of this in any of Dyer's articles. What exactly has he done related to this?

    Apart from calling his readers "subhuman hoboes" and "mentally ill" and threatening to "bodyslam them through a glass coffee table"...

    Nope, that's how he classifies it in his little mind. He's never insulted his readers, only paid trolls. Trolls are never readers. hahaha

    Which we know is a lie, because I AM NOT A PAID TROLL, and he insults me regularly.

    Directed at me: (I posted 3:47 & 6:03)
    Here's Dyer @6:23 "You're browbeating me about money. I'm not the one who brought it up. It's you, moron...Answer the question, idiot! You're the one who brought it up, and now that whole can of worms has been blown open."

    His direct quotes, see for yourself:
    http://robertdyer.blogspot.com/2017/06/americas-infomercial-king-goes-live.html

    He's had a couple ads lately, maybe a mover? a building? And they were properly marked as sponsored content. There was another that sounded very ad-like but wasn't marked, so it must not have been "sponsored" maybe only "favorable."

    1. 10:16: Interesting that for a second day in a row you've claimed negative troll comments attacking me were posted by you - while claiming not to be the troll! Also interesting that you don't print the insults and threats against me in those comments, only my response to them, which was mild in relation to the attacks and harassment I was responding to.

      Along with the Freudian slip of praising Hans Riemer using Riemer's own 2018 talking points, it's quite clear to readers that this is an orchestrated attack. The 52 comments yesterday on one post proved again it's a troll who is doing this from a Council/developer/developer's PR firm office, or a raving unemployed lunatic.

      Hans Riemer will be asked to disavow in 2018.

    8:17 AM,

    That is one of the most ludicrous comments I have read to date.

    No one should have to explain to you the relevance of including advocacy for the disenfranchised as part of an activist's "About Me" page.

    Far worse: No one should have to explain to you that part of advocating for the disenfranchised involves protecting their respect and privacy. So no, there would not be a "story" showing those that Mr. Dyer has helped, simply to prove to you that he has helped them. Ridiculous.

    Hey, Robert Dyer. Amidst the throng of funk, I just wanted to thank you for all that you do. And thanks for the times that you have run in the past for CC. I respect your goal of upgrading the high schools so that they all have computers. It's kind of difficult to make our kids university-ready if some of the schools have no computers. I appreciate the concern for the education and welfare of the youth in Montgomery County.

    What's wrong in asking what he's done?

    He's been especially rude to women here and someone might question his commitment to domestic violence issues.
    He's also used language that might be considered offensive to some of the disabled and/or challenged (calling people mentally ill or schizophrenic, low-energy, low-testosterone.)

    Since what he says he is clashes with his behaviour on this blog, why shouldn't readers question it?

      This comment is 100% on the mark. Robert can't argue with the comment above as we've all read Robert's rants where he calls people these names. He uses put downs, insults people's mental capacity, and has alluded to violence (I'll give him the benefit that he hasn't physically threatened readers even though that's questionable). His about me section is words on a page...talk is cheap. His disparaging remarks speak louder than his tooting of his own horn. If I'm wrong, please enlighten us Robert.

      Did you know that pointing out true mental illness isn't "making fun," but simply a statement of fact?

      Because when somebody posts a comment every few minutes over a 12 hour period, they either need to admit they're working as a paid Council/developer PR employee, or they truly are mentally ill.

      Literally no one else would have the free time or inclination to do so. And for the Council to associate themselves with such tactics - this will be a campaign gift that keeps on giving if I run in 2018.

On the Matthew Lesko article, you didn't even identify yourself in those comments, so you can't even claim that my mild response was directed at you.

You've never ever commented on Bethesda Magazine demanding to know about their income, or criticized them about anything for that matter.

    I never even responded to you on the first article, and a reader apparently annoyed by your previous attacks commented. That has nothing to do with me.
