Last Christmas at Barnes & Noble in Bethesda (Photos)

This is the last time you'll see the holiday decorations outside of Barnes & Noble. By this time next year, the bookstore will have been replaced by Anthropologie. Still unknown is what changes to the configuration of the plaza outside Barnes & Noble that will entail. Anthropologie will have outdoor dining at its Terrain Cafe, which Barnes & Noble has never needed space to accommodate.

    Barnes & Noble is not open at 3AM anyway.

    And Bethesda Lane is not "Barnes & Noble".

    And at least one of your photos should have showed the Barnes & Noble sign, for context

  6. 10:32 AM You're bitter, delusional, full of grievance.

    If believing I'm Robert Dyer delights you, so be it.

    And the lame comment about "mayo" was at 9:46, one minute before "Steve" and two minutes before "Roald".

    This is written as though an outdoor eating space is a bad thing.

    Barnes & Noble put Olsson's Bethesda out of business. Amazon's putting B&N out of business. It's the cycle.

    I go to P&P, to support independent bookstores.

    I read the comments to my wife who is recovering from eye surgery.

    When she heard me say "I go to pee and pee", she burst out laughing.

    "Barnes & Noble put Olsson's Bethesda out of business."

    Not that simple. Barnes & Noble opened in Bethesda in 1997. Olsson's didn't close until 2005, when the site was cleared to make way for the Lionsgate.

    There wasn't a single other location in Bethesda that Olsson's could have moved to.

  13. 7:03 AM Agreed- I'm never visiting this site again.

    Actually- forget I said that. Where else can I find out what's going on in Bethesda? I'd have nothing to steal.

    Oh well. See everyone tomorrow morning.

    Roald and his goofy alter-ego, Steve.
    Just like Dyer and Tarnation Bob.
