Bethesda construction update: My Eye Dr. (Photos)
My Eye Dr. is getting ready to move from Bethesda Row to nearby 4917 Elm Street. This used to be home to Bethesda Barbecue Company before it went out of business two years ago. The property owner has split the space into two; the other side will be The Halal Guys. It is technically part of the Shoppes of Bethesda.

Halal Guys are about to blow the place up. Yum!
I login with a cup of coffee and see 9:58AM posting as me.
I'm sorry, but that's not a funny fake comment.
Van Slyke is Dyer
reeeeeeeeeeetaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrdddd, dyer is a reeeeeeeeeeetarrrrrrrdd try saying quesadilla Dyer
Why do you need to log in to read Dyer's blog? Are you using a computer at the library?
Sorry, I'm not Dyer. Just a reader.
Dyer signs all of his comments :)
Judging by your comment above, you might not be Dyer but your disgusting politics align with Dyer based on his wanting Confederate statues to remain in Maryland.
Lol the troll who imitates another username is upset someone is trolling imitating his username.
1:10: Let's not try to whitewash Maryland's history as a strongly-pro-Confederate state by hiding all the evidence. Learn from history, don't erase it like the Taliban.
Dyer, are you pretending not to know why those Confederate statues were erected? They were erected for the purpose of glorifying the Confederacy and slavery
Choosing not to glorify those two reprehensible institutions is not "erasing history.
"Let's not try to whitewash Maryland's history as a strongly-pro-Confederate state by hiding all the evidence."
Says the guy who tried to whitewash the KKK rally in Charlottesville, as well as the murder of one counterprotestor and the wounding of scores more.
7:52: Now you're changing the subject from Civil War-era Maryland to 2017. Quite a stretch, old sport. The facts of Charlottesville are very clear to anyone with a brain who watches all of the video and listens to the accounts of those who were actually there. Whether you like or agree with the rally attendees, it's a fact that they had the Constitutional right to be there and peacefully assemble. As did the counter-protesters. The mayor and police of Charlottesville then decided to set a trap to create violence, by reneging on the agreed police escort, and funneling alt-right (KKK had their own rally weeks earlier) protesters directly into crowds of Antifa armed with mace, chemicals, waste, etc.
Violence was instigated by Antifa, as police watched and did nothing.
Mayor and police failed to blockade streets from vehicle traffic, and as a result, a counterprotester was killed.
These are all facts, not a "whitewash."
7:44: Rockville's Confederate statue, like many of its contemporaries, was erected in honor of living and dead Confederates who were directly known by the people of that time. Veterans of the war were still alive when it was erected. You are putting a modern interpretation on events that simply is not true. Just because some would like to erase Montgomery County's inconvenient racist and slavery-ridden past doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Anonymous Andy signs all of his comments too.
I do :)
"Mayor and police failed to blockade streets from vehicle traffic, and as a result, a counterprotester was killed."
Nice spin there, Dyer. But the reality is that one of your KKK buddies intentionally drove down a pedestrian mall.
10:00: You're the spinner - if that was a "pedestrian mall," what was the car he hit doing in front of him? The fact is, those streets were supposed to be closed and barricaded to auto traffic. Charlottesville failed to do so, and someone died as a direct result.
You keep trying to claim that the deadly vehicular assault was an accident, Dyer. Why?
Dyer also neglected to mention that many of the Alt-Right protestors were openly carrying firearms. That's an odd omission for the self-proclaimed "journalist".
8:06: Never made any such claim. I said the city allowed the car to enter what should have been a pedestrian-only area. Had the area been barricaded off, the woman would still be alive today.
8:14: The only people brandishing firearms were a small militia group, and one alt-right protester who fired a warning shot after a makeshift flamethrower was fired at his group. I believe the latter man has been charged in that incident. While carrying a gun is totally legal in Virginia, the reality is that the vast, vast majority of those on both sides were not carrying firearms.
You disgust me, Robert. Please, please run so you can be shamed for comments like these.
5:06: You're "disgusted" by facts? How would I be "shamed" for stating facts? Council incumbents are going to be shamed for trying to build a parking garage on top of a black cemetery, which is completely corrupt and immoral. And you think I'm going to be shamed for verifiable facts about an issue that has nothing to do at all with Montgomery County? You sound like a fool, old sport.
You can't use the future tense and call it facts. Nobody knows the future.
5:42: What does that word salad mean? I and many others will be shaming the Council regarding their attempt to build a garage on a black cemetery. That is a fact.
"Their attempt to build a garage on a parking lot"
5:55: The parking lot is on top of the cemetery, knucklehead.
They want to build a garage on top of a parking lot on top of a cemetery. I wish they hadn't already built the parking lot and the church had not sold the land to the HoC.
6:16: Word salad again, and you are poorly informed to boot. The HOC doesn't own the land yet, and the church never owned the cemetery, so it couldn't sell it to anybody.
Maybe your 8th time will be your lucky number and you’ll win an election? Nope, it’d take a miracle, old sport. Instead Helpless Hans will destroy you making you...what...Useless Bobby? Helpless my a**, how many times has he destroyed you?
I will take your identity theft as a badge of confidence that I am getting to you :)
Dyer sure is protective of "Andy Van Slyke".
8:55: No, I'm protective of my readers, and you posted a hyperlink not relevant to this article. Unlike Ken Hartman, I don't advise people to clink on links to third party sites.
Who the f is Ken Hartman and why is he relevant?
@Anna -- Ken is one of Dyer's bete noirs. He is Director of the Bethesda-Chevychase Regional Services Center. Dyer's complaint is that "Montgomery County Media" cites & quotes other sites but not his.
In Robert's view he is part and parcel of the Mtg. County Cartel, and should be arrested, convicted and jailed for misusing public funds to cite and quote other blogs than his.
6:43: One inaccuracy - it is Hartman who links to my competitor in nearly every one of the taxpayer-funded emails he sends out. That's using public funds to promote a private website. What is he getting in exchange? Money? Favorable coverage from the small-and-slightly-failing magazine?
No other Regional Services Director in the County links to media websites, and neither should Hartman. And if he does, he has to regularly link to all of us, not just one. Period.
Thank you 6:43AM. Dyer's always referencing these people and I never know who they are or why they're relevant!
I just read this blog. If someone links or tags me I may have read a story or two of another local blogger, but I'm not deep in the weeds with this whole conspiracy/other bloggers/other media crap. Anyway, all that animosity seems entirely one-sided.
Again, thanks 6:43
