Downtown Bethesda's oldest building, the historic Wilson Store at 7250 Wisconsin Avenue, will be moved to its new location on Middleton Lane the evening of August 19. The relocation will occur between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM the next morning, and is expected to take 4-6 hours to complete.
Workers will insert beams under the store, lift it, and place it onto a motorized dolly system. The store is being relocated to facilitate redevelopment of the Apex Building at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue by Carr Properties.
Intriguingly, the move had previously been scheduled to take place 72 hours before a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge is to hear an appeal of the Board of Appeals decision to permit the relocation. That hearing, requested by several nearby residents, is scheduled for August 8. The County has now pushed the move back to August 19 or later.
Please promise us if Vollmer chains herself to the store in a last-ditch effort, you'll have photos.
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd just demolish that "historic" store and save us all some money.
ReplyDeleteFinally. The quicker this development happens, the quicker the lane closures and disruptions can be gone, and the quicker the Purple Line can be built.
ReplyDeleteI see the church could not keep up the outrage. As bad as it sounds, they sold the property, they don't really have a case other than to stir up public outcry.
ReplyDeletelol if you have the docs then post it.
ReplyDeleteSo if you have a copy of the actual report, would you not post it?
ReplyDeleteDid you talk to anyone about the crime reports?
ReplyDeleteKen Hartman is gaslighting Dyer LOL
ReplyDelete3:26: Last time I checked, Ken Hartman doesn't work at the County DEP.
ReplyDelete"Ken Hartman, director of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center, said Tuesday developer Carr Properties plans to move the 1890 two-story building the night of Aug. 19."
ReplyDelete7:19: You forgot to mention that Ken Hartman deleted his tweet, which stated it was August 5. #Oops But he can't delete the hard copy document I have from County DEP that clearly stated August 5.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok. They got caught red-handed trying to move before the court hearing. Typical MoCo cartel MO.
What's the conspiracy theory here?
DeleteSo Ken Hartman was employed by the county dep?
ReplyDeleteShots fired. What say you, Kenneth?
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing that buzzing in my ear again. Honey, did you leave the screen door open?
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless and shaking with rage about this cover up. Ken's deleted tweet is equivalent to the missing minutes of Nixon's tapes.
ReplyDeleteWe'll all remember this night folks.
We have a date picked
ReplyDeleteWait, the county just scheduled their hearing AFTER our fate.
Ok, we'll change the date.
Scandalous!
fate = date what a typo.
ReplyDeleteHe DELETED a TWEET?
ReplyDeleteOnly a lynching will do. High noon.
(Just amend the story to say the date changed. For heaven's sake. You'll sound so much less insecure.)
Why do you keep deleting the posts asking whether you consider this a scoop when compared to Bethesda Magazine reporting on Anthropoligie and most recently Marriott's development plans? Insecure much?
ReplyDelete6:56: Because you're a total BS artist - - the small and slightly-failing magazine copied Anthropologie from the Washington Business Journal, and there was NO NEW NEWS in today's "scoop" about Marriott simply signing the deal they announced months ago. Crazy much?
ReplyDeleteSounds like Marriott's final deal doesn't include Tastee Diner.
ReplyDeleteIsn't "new news" redundant?
4:37: No, there's been no public statement regarding which properties are included. If Woodmont Grill isn't included, it's unlikely Tastee Diner will be. That's why they can't announce these things until they're done.
ReplyDeleteNew news is different from old news, like the many knockoffs of my previously published articles out there.
"You forgot to mention that Ken Hartman deleted his tweet"
ReplyDeleteCan anyone spot the irony here?
