Friends with Style relocates to Saah Building in Bethesda
Friends with Style is moving up in the world. The consignment boutique has moved from its former home at 4715 Cordell Avenue (a.k.a. the Montgomery County Council's "Apartment Building for Homeless People") to the newly-renovated Saah Building. Their new address will be 7813 Old Georgetown Road.
One, two, three, four pictures of their current location, but none of their new location. Why?
ReplyDeleteThe Saah building is such an ugly renovation. Wish they had done something better and bigger there.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the shop puts up a permanent sign instead of a banner. It's like they don't think they will make it and don't want to invest in themselves.
This spot on Cordell has such high turnover. Hopefully something sticks.
"This spot on Cordell has such high turnover. Hopefully something sticks."
ReplyDeleteAnother massage parlor or another homeless shelter.
7:56: I will delete defamatory statements about me. Are you surprised other readers would be annoyed that you add nothing substantive with your comments, but simply troll, insult, attack, threaten, harass and defame? The comment section is for comments relevant to the article that add to the discussion. You are off-topic, plain and simple. Stick to the rules, comment on the topic at hand, and there is no problem.
ReplyDelete10:26: I have never made a single defamatory statement against anyone. Ever. Period.

ReplyDeleteDyer is allowed to defend himself. Your defamation attempts are poor.
DeleteIt's telling that you refuse to just email Dyer rather than go through your litany of resentments daily.
If Dyer is so bad, why keep coming here? You never post about the article at hand. Rather, you attack the writer.
The Trump method of insults as defense is pretty poor excuse.
DeleteDyer's Mom makes the best Troll Treats!
ReplyDeleteBethesdians keep coming back for more!

ReplyDeleteLast time I checked, you don't need permission to send an email. Go ahead and send it to Dyer and take this discussion elsewhere.
DeleteYou're simply trolling and trying to disrupt Dyer's site. Readers don't care about your litany of made up grievances.
Fake Tim at 9:56am, please stop posting under my name, you're not me and it's really embarrassing to have you using my name to shill for Dyer!
ReplyDeleteOn your say-so? I don;'t think so, "Tim"
ReplyDeleteReaders love me.
what triggered you Dyer? the readers love me comment? the fear I'm telling the truth and will confront you face-to-face?
ReplyDeleteit that why you sent your puppets out after me?
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDelete11:18am yes, it's clearly Dyer's fault that his stalker posts unhinged comments..lol
DeleteAnna, please just leave. This is a safe space and you are ruining it.
ReplyDeleteNever! I'm paid by the word to post nonsense.
DeleteFake Tim at 10:37am and 11:22am, I wish you would leave this blog, you're sounding a lot like #unsigneddyer, and it's #sad
ReplyDeleteIs this how you marginalize women who speak up? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up. Own your ignorance and your cowardice.
Keep escalating.
11:48am your attempts to bully Dyer using a fake name is tiresome.
DeleteI know you'll reply and attack me, go ahead.
Hi Robert, have you ever thought about making a podcast? I would love to listen to your takes on Bethesda and the news and you interviewing local residents?
ReplyDeleteA podcast! What a great idea. Something to think about for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou said you sold two ads this month, just curious when we can expect to see them, or if you don't label?
ReplyDelete@12:08pm, please stop associating yourself with Woodmont Triangle. I live in that area, and you are certainly not a friend of mine. You do not speak for me, or any of the other residents of the Woodmont Triangle! Go away and shill elsewhere you Troll!
ReplyDeleteHello 1:11pm! We're a new group representing interests of folks in the Woodmont Triangle. More info on us when the time is right and you'll be welcome to join.
Delete@12:41 PM, he does crime reports.
ReplyDeleteSuch an ugly renovation for the Saah building. Who was the architect?
ReplyDeleteIf the Internet didn't exist, how would Dyer have created his alter-ego to pretend that he is anything but a failure?
ReplyDelete2:13pm I know, right? If the "Internet didn't exist", people would still read glossy magazines and appreciate the Gazette.
DeleteBy the way, everyone donated to help save my failing side business?
7:47 AM, 1:58 PM - The answer to both of your questions is Karr.
ReplyDeleteSource of the Spring has been in existence for less than one quarter the the time that EastMoCo has, but has snagged almost ten times as many likes and follows on Facebook. So that means that SotS is actually forty times as popular as Dyer's clone blog.
ReplyDelete5:27: No, it just means they paid a lot of money to Facebook to promote their page. Hopefully they can tell us where all that money came from.
DeleteBethesda Magazine does the same, and in fact, the Bethesda Beef page simply acquired the large amount of followers the former owner of Bethesda Now literally purchased from Facebook and Twitter in a $1 transaction.
East MoCo and RockvilleNights.com are the leading sources of news, the most-read sites, in that area.
Hans Riemer has received tens of thousands of dollars from Wall Street crooks and their K Street lobbyists.
Great job trolling today - 52 comments, a paid troll tasked with trying to take out my successful website with defamatory statements and hate speech.
Here's some real news to think about - yet another MoCo cartel-sponsored "competing" website has gone out of business this summer, In Rockville this time. Damn, I notice you didn't mention that.
The truth is, understandably, more demoralizing than your alternative facts about purchased followers on Facebook by my "competition."

Who is the secret leader of this shadowy "MoCo Cartel" (formerly known as "MoCo Machine")?
ReplyDeletelol...there's still a guy who still thinks # of Facebook likes = popularity and engagement?
ReplyDeleteYou can buy likes.
9:58 - Yes, and the Greenhill Smashburger/Bold Bites-The Roof/Urban Heights/Tommy Joe's building.
ReplyDeleteI'm really disliking these Karr designs for Greenhill, Saah building, etc.
DeleteWasn't this at 50+ comments yesterday? Or am I imaging something?
ReplyDeleteYou're not imagining anything. At least 10 comments disappeared during the wee hours.
DeleteSad...one of the few times Robert can't muster up a defense or flip the subject is when trying to justify his making fun of someone at the expense of those with disabilities.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there is some big news on Cordell Avenue tonight!
ReplyDelete4:13: I've never made fun of anyone with disabilities - this is another attempt by the MoCo cartel to try to turn a strength into a weakness. My record helping people with disabilities blows away anybody currently on the Council, yet as a citizen activist, I've had only a fraction of their power and influence.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I've worked with past councilmembers like Mike Knapp and Blair Ewing to get ADA violations fixed in the County; the current Council has failed to act on similar violations with downtown sidewalks, for example.
You risk being sued for defamation with your false statements. Helpless Hans will be asked to disavow in 2018.
"I disavow! I disavow!"
4:49: Total malarkey. I've never treated a reader "cruelly" nor called them idiots, only dealt firmly with our resident paid troll to the amusement and satisfaction of readers.
ReplyDeleteI have an impeccable record on disabilities, which of course is why you've been told to attack from that angle by your bosses. Sad to use the suffering and challenges of innocent people for political purposes.
Wow. This is the legacy of our County Council. No wonder they've accomplished near zero on behalf of the disabled in 20 years. Then they try to turn around and attack a civilian who's done more than all of them combined on disability access issues.
Shameful.
4:49: Total malarkey. I've never treated a reader "cruelly" nor called them idiots, only dealt firmly with our resident paid troll to the amusement and satisfaction of readers.
ReplyDeleteThis is semi-accurate. Unfortunately, you consider every reader the troll and honest questions have been met by nasty responses. Please do not run in 2018 for Council. You cannot control yourself.
6:13: Anybody can watch my debate performances online and they'll find I "control myself" quite well, while wiping the floor with the incumbent Council members.
ReplyDeleteNo, "honest questions" never meet with a "nasty" response, only troll comments, insults and threats.
If asked at a debate by someone in an audience to justify you making disparaging comments - whether just mean or highlighting a mental illness - on your blog, how would you answer?
DeleteGood! It's always commendable to help others. Ewing was school board though, wasn't he?
ReplyDeleteAny good work you may have done is offset by your cruel treatment of your leaders by calling them idiots, schizophrenic, low-testosterone, low-energy, moron, girly-man.
The same words that are often used against those with disabilities, words used to bully and insult them. For all you know, some may read and post here.
Something to think about.

the 10:11 deleted comment: (mine)
ReplyDeleteSee, deletes my defense, leaves the attacks.
I offered to email him when all this started. He declined to take me up on that offer and called me names.
I offered to meet him in a public restaurant for coffee to prove myself. I'd bring my hubby, they could talk Guardians of the Galaxy. He called me names instead.
I post often about the articles at hand. But then I'm called a liar or something and I defend myself. Or you show up with your assault on my identity. Which causes more calls of liar, so I defend again. Then Dyer leaves all the insults at me and deletes my defense of myself.
Tim @9:56, why are you being the one to ask?
10:11AM

I'm not so sure that Dyer has minions. Just sockpuppets.

That's ok. I'm sure someone will be interested in my story and screen shots.
You don't scare me. I have the truth on my side. I will admit to being dis-
heartened by how you've treated me. Made me the poster-child for your hate,
and have 5 or 6 others names following suit.

ReplyDelete"Anybody can watch my debate performances online and they'll find I "control myself" quite well, while wiping the floor with the incumbent Council members."
Do you understand the purpose of a debate? It is to persuade those listening, through logical and informed arguments.
You seem to think it is the equivalent of a schoolyard fight. Why such violent language?
