There is a schedule posted on the Redwood website showing the hours they will be open each day through January 7. No explanation is given, and they were actually not open on January 3 and 4, contrary to the hours shown for those evenings. According to the schedule, they will be open regular hours today and tonight, so we'll have to see what happens.

Two mornings in a row you have posted that Redwood was closed the previous night. That's not very helpful for Bethesdians who needed to make plans on where to dine out on Wednesday and Thursday.
7:14 AM It's actually very helpful. It means call ahead because they may be closed.
"According to the schedule, they will be open regular hours today and tonight, so we'll have to see what happens."
Let me guess, you're not going to bother to try to contact any live people to find the story, and then publish tomorrow morning your story that the restaurant was closed today.
There's no such thing as a "Bethesdian." I already contacted the "live people," and they said they would reopen when they can finish the clean-up.
No other site has provided hyperlocal coverage of the bomb cyclone in Bethesda besides mine. You end up sounding like a complete moron whining about it. A troll is someone who has no skills to do anything else. Bye bye.
This IS evidence of "global warming." Study up.
Why are the comments closed on the Safeway article? Is Robert protecting his sponsored content?
7:55: If it was sponsored content, it would clearly be labeled as such.
7:52: The coldest winters in my lifetime the last several years are evidence the globe is warming? Wrong. We've been told for years that winters would be shorter, bugs would be more numerous because temperatures would not be as low, or freeze as long, during winters. In fact, we're experiencing the opposite.
This is nowhere near the coldest winter "in your lifetime". We haven't even exceeded the low temperature from the 2015 cold wave.
And the last two winters seem "cold" only because the previous three were so mild.
30 years ago we used to see below-zero temperatures several times each decade. Bethesda has not seen temperatures fall below +5 degrees in at least 24 years.
Dyer's competitors continue to "phone it in". Perhaps snowed in in Frederick?
8:50 am I don't recall nearly a week of subfreezing temperatures.
Maybe when you lived in New England, but not in Bethesda.
8:42: The number of days of extreme freezing cold the last two years indeed exceed those of the winters of the past. You need to review the numbers.
What's your definition of "extreme freezing cold"? That phrase doesn't sound very scientific.
What I can say is that the temperature in Bethesda has not fallen lower than +8 degrees during the past three years, and several years before that, too.
OMG. Do I need to get into how the lack of ice dams in the Artic, due to the global warming leaving little to no ice in the polar circle, is no longer producing the currents that kept some of the coldest air from traveling southward?
This IS exactly what you should expect from climate change as the earth's atmosphere warms, as the oceans warm.
Don't criticize what you don't understand. Read up.
We have had record-breaking heat during the summers since 2010, but Dyer conveniently ignores that, too.
Of course Dyer parrots the typical Trumpbot denier spiel. Climate change means huge temperature swings in either direction and powerful storms like the record breaking storm that just went up the East Coast and the one the Gulf Coast Hurricanes.
And while you're focused on DC, you're missing the fact that parts of the world are a lot warmer than they should be like Alaska.
By the way it looks like your role model Steve Bannon was just thrown under the bus by big boss.
Did Redwood open yet?
Saith Dr. Robert Dyer, Climate Scientist: "The coldest winters in my lifetime the last several years are evidence the globe is warming? Wrong. We've been told for years that winters would be shorter, bugs would be more numerous because temperatures would not be as low, or freeze as long, during winters. In fact, we're experiencing the opposite."
Average high for January: 43 degrees
High Friday January 5: 17 degrees - anomaly -26 degrees
Predicted high Friday January 12: 65 degrees - anomaly +22 degrees
So if the former proves Dyer's claim of global cooling, the later proves global warming.
"one of only four round-the-clock businesses left after the disastrous "nighttime economy" initiative of Montgomery County Council President "Helpless" Hans Riemer ended up wrecking downtown Bethesda's nighttime economy."
Harris-Teeter opened in 2016 - they are open 24 hours. That's another feather in the hat for #HelpfulHans.
Hey, Dyer - instead of constantly kvetching that stores and restaurants aren't open at 3AM, why don't you just go to a sleep clinic and have your circadian rhythm re-set so you'll be awake in the daytime, when all the normal people are awake, and when actual news is happening.
8:43 PM So you're saying the nightlife economy initiative was a waste of time and money?
You sound like one of the interns: news only happens during your office hours? lol...
6:42: Harris Teeter is one of the 4 I referred to; Hans Riemer had nothing to do with it, as the Flats at 8300 development was in the works before he even stepped off his U-haul from California in 2006.
8:43: Hey, dumbass, I've been covering all the developments on the Bomb Cyclone in Bethesda this week. I noticed the other local media and papers were late to cover the water main breaks, Redwood, etc. Seems like they're the ones who slept through it, not me, *****.
6:09: We've had a sustained freeze for more than a week, only broken by a 34 degree reading for 1 hour during that period. You're talking about single day anomalies.
9:42: Actually, 2016 was the coldest summer in my lifetime, and 2017 was hardly the worst ever, either. Snowfall is *increasing* in Antarctica (which in the past was not encased in ice - frozen is a most unnatural state for that continent, it turns out). All trends point to cooling at the moment.
The climate is changing, I agree, but there's no indication that it is an abnormal change. Species die out all the time, it's called natural selection and evolution.
8:43: P.S., I forgot to mention Barnes & Noble, yet another story I broke this past week. Baba Booey.
We have NEVER before had an ice-free Arctic. You seem perfectly ok, if not happy with HUMANS being the species that dies out and smaller portions of land remain habitable.
Antarctica is losing massive chunks of glacier ice, raising sea levels. You are confusing land(glacier) ice with sea ice. Sea ice is seasonal.
Satellites measure that Antarctica is gaining sea ice but losing land (glacier) ice at an accelerating rate which has implications for sea level rise.
For instance, even though the interior of East Antarctica is gaining land ice, overall Antarctica has been losing land ice at an increasing rate.
Antarctic sea ice is growing despite a strongly warming Southern Ocean.
5:18: I spoke of Antarctica, not the Arctic. As far as sea rise, what if the sea is meant to return to a previous level? Just because we put our cities on the coast doesn't mean we should expect the planet to not go through its normal cycles over thousands and millions of years.
Understandably, if parts of Antarctica become green again, as they probably should, the sea will rise. We'll have to put our hubris aside and adapt. Imagine if we even could develop the power to tinker with the normal functioning of the planet, and subvert it to our selfish needs and political aims - we would likely end up causing some sort of Dr. Frankensteinesque global catastrophe. Don't mess with Mother Nature.
I mentioned the Arctic since IT is the polar cap that influences our weather.
And I also spoke of Antarctica.
In fact, if more Antarctic snow and ice comes to be replaced with green moss and other plant life, that actually means less sunlight being reflected back into space and the possibility of accelerated warming.
Anyway you spin it, the news from the bottom of the world doesn't bode well for the beachfront real estate markets.
Regarding Anna's previous comment, the reason Antarctic Sea Ice is growing, is because of runoff from the melting land glaciers. Given that it is fresh water, it freezes at a higher temperature than the salty sea water.
Saith Dyer: "As far as sea rise, what if the sea is meant to return to a previous level?"
What does this mean? Why would it be "meant to return" to a previous level?
"Just because we put our cities on the coast doesn't mean we should expect the planet to not go through its normal cycles over thousands and millions of years."
What has happened in the past 150 years is not a "normal cycle". Mankind has taken huge amounts of carbon which have been sequestered under the Earth for hundreds of millions of years, and put that into the atmosphere in just a tiny fraction of the timeline of the Earth's history.
"We'll have to put our hubris aside and adapt. Imagine if we even could develop the power to tinker with the normal functioning of the planet, and subvert it to our selfish needs and political aims - we would likely end up causing some sort of Dr. Frankensteinesque global catastrophe. Don't mess with Mother Nature."
We are already "messing with Mother Nature" and "tinkering with the normal functioning of the planet" and "subverting it to our selfish needs" by putting huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. And I find it curious that global warming deniers frequently use that phrase, "Mother Nature".
"Actually, 2016 was the coldest summer in my lifetime"
Just...hilariously...WRONG.
Dyer: 9:42: Actually, 2016 was the coldest summer in my lifetime
FAKE NEWS ALERT!!!!
Meanwhile, back in reality: Summer of 2016 was the hottest on record across the globe
The coldest summer of Robert Dyer's lifetime.
All these cowardly liberals. I cannot WAIT for 2020 to see Trump elected head of the Montgomery City Council.
