The historic Community Paint and Hardware building was successfully
moved from Wisconsin Avenue by the Apex Building to Middleton Lane overnight Saturday. Cut into two pieces, the building halves are set right against each other, but have not been reassembled yet. It appears a separate team will be brought in to reattach the two parts, which are still sitting atop the motorized dollies used to move them up Wisconsin.
Why zero mention of PINSTRIPES opening at Pike and Rose? it is the best new place in decades.
ReplyDelete5:52: You may have missed my mention of the opening several weeks ago in my big report on Pike & Rose Phase II opening. I met the Pinstripes CEO that day.
ReplyDeleteBig report. Huge!
DeleteWhat's changed since the building(s) arrived at the new site yesterday morning?
ReplyDeleteDid a workman add a nail or two?
Any news on where Bethesdians can go to watch the Eclipse?
ReplyDeleteGlad it made it in one...er.. two -- pieces. :)
ReplyDeleteTwo?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they will attempt to restore the façade to replicate the original use? Has anyone read about what this will become? Maybe not a real hardware store, but perhaps some adaptive reuse inspired by its historic past. The "hardware" coffee shop, or "hardware" lofts.
ReplyDeleteRobin F*cker's new office? He's gonna be evicted soon, for the redevelopment of that block.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Bethesda Beat re-Tweeted Robert Dyer!
ReplyDeleteHe's hit the big time now!
6:52: You're being sarcastic, right? It could be seen anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI think he is serious. They have a bigger readership, so backlinking to your site helps since your readership is smaller. That's how sEO works.
DeleteDid you watch the eclipse, Robert?
ReplyDeleteDid you take any pictures?
Looks like there was a nice crowd in Veterans' Square this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteSometimes people like sharing things with others. I can watch the fireworks from my backyard all by myself. But it's more fun when there's a group of us watching together.
