Demolition update: Westbard Self Storage site (Photos)

The auto repair garage behind McDonald's on River Road is just a pile of rubble now. At least one large satellite dish had to be relocated. Regarding the legitimate concerns that graves (burials that might have been placed outside the cemetery boundaries by accident, or by WSSC in the 1950s, when they moved the Willett Branch stream into the cemetery) from the adjacent Moses African Cemetery might be disturbed on this site, so far they are just demolishing and clearing the site. No digging or excavation had begun as of early this morning. Stay tuned.


Here's the end of the project site where
the potential is highest to encounter
burial sites that were accidentally placed
beyond the cemetery border over time

    So you just have pictures of the backho taking the first bite out of the corner on Thursday, the rubble that remains today, but no action shots of the demolition on Friday?

    7:26/8:09: Two personalities, one troll. Hey, dumbass, the pictures I posted Friday showed the actual demolition in progress. You could see the backhoe was in various positions in each photo, if you weren't such a dummy. They were taken around 10 AM, when you claim I was "sleeping." The rest of the media were sleeping when I broke this story, which is very serious, given the potential desecration of graves thanks to the County not allowing a study before moving forward.

    Could you post a link to the plat of the cemetery, Robert? It would help readers understand how the controversy relates to this particular site.

    "Taken around 10 AM"...and published at "5:00 AM" Dyer Savings Time i.e. 8:00 AM EDT Friday morning?

    How did you pull that off? Do you have a time machine?

    Berliner, the developer, Planning Board, et al are bigots.. Remember- they want to build a parking garage on top of a historic African American cemetery of freed slaves.

    Desecration in order to get parking so the "new Westwood" has spaces for a new Subway sandwich shop.

    Sick bigots.

    #UnsignedDyer @ 12:54 PM - the proposed parking garage has nothing to do with the shopping center.

    Your faux racial outrage has been noted.

    Kinda the purpose of a search engine.

    "The Five Eyes, often abbreviated as FVEY, is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States."

    Why would intelligence agencies in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom be the slightest bit interested in a blogger living in his parents' house on the wrong side of the tracks in the Bethesda postal delivery area?

    Why would intelligence agencies in the United States be interested?
