"Darkened by new high-rises"
That's the Landau Building, you Birdbrain. That's as old as you are.
"Montgomery County Executive candidate Robin Ficker works the crowd"
Ha ha... more like "...gets ignored by the crowd."
Great weather, great event.
Seemed like half the crowd was running for office :)
10:13 AM is touting another report on the event written from the perspective of a Frederick resident/freelancer.
In Dyer We Trust.
LOL at "Elm", i.e. #UnsignedDyer.
10:10: The Landow Building (which as a carpetbagger you don't have a clue how to spell correctly) is in the background, moron. The shadow is coming from 7770 Norfolk.
Getting the Frederick freelancers up to speed with Bethesda...
Talking about phoning it in...
I was at the event and very, very much appreciated the shade provided by the "high-rises" walking down the side streets for too long was almost unbearable thanks to the sun in a cloudless sky. I look forward to future events when the area is further developed providing more shade along Norfolk Ave.
If you notice all of the tables in your photo were empty, not because people didn't want to sit, but because of the sun.
As an aside, why must you always be so negative?
I give credit to Metro for at least trying to engage with the community, and most MoCo residents aren't like you? And calling a commenter a carpetbagger (which you don't seem to know the meaning of. Hint: Look up Reconstruction in the former Confederacy) because he misnames a building? Really?
There goes Dyer again thinking he is a real estate expert!
So tall and dense development close to the Metro is now a bad idea? Perhaps all new development should be underground to reverse our so called moribund economy.
1:14 PM seemed like just a factual observation. 7770 Norfolk and other new high rises will cast new shadows. Not a big deal to argue about.
Dyer is chronicling this rapidly changing city.
If Dyer had his way, he would kick those people whose pockets are lined by Fat Wall Street Cats and bring Fortune 500 companies to the area to fix the moribund economy.
HEY DYER WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DELETE ONE OF THE TWO ***IDENTICAL*** ARTICLES ABOUT PINES OF ROME????!!??!?!?
"Metro dared to have a display, and they were not run out of town on a rail, surprisingly - how civilized we are in Bethesda!"
You could say the same about Robin Ficker's presence there.
Metro dared to have a display, and they were not run out of town on a rail, surprisingly - how civilized we are in Bethesda!
Bethesda would be a podunk afterthought without Metro. It's the reason for all of the development and economic activity we're seeing today. Want to talk about moribund? Visit the alternate reality where Metro was routed around Bethesda.
It's not about being civilized, it's called "not biting the hand that feeds you."
Speaking of "not biting the hand that feeds you", how is it that Robert Dyer wrote an entire article about Taste of Bethesda, without mentioning the Bethesda Urban Partnership even once?
Why couldn't you get the Smoothie King mascot to turn toward the camera?
Also, Photos #1 and #5 are duplicates, apart from different weird filters for each. And why is that guy in the green polo shirt wearing two different colors of socks - black on one foot and white on the other?
Because Dyer’s website is news and not a blog and he is unbiased.
