A power outage in the Westbard area after 8:00 PM last night affected the Giant store in the Westwood Shopping Center. Signs outside and some lighting fixtures flickered, and the store's alarm system beeped, as employees placed plastic covers over refrigerated dairy and produce products. Contents of the meat cases were removed, apparently moved into the back of the store.
Pepco currently still shows an outage on Westbard Avenue on its outage map, and claims it will be fixed by 10:00 AM - an extraordinarily long response time, given that there aren't any other outages at the moment. The store was still open despite the outage, and self-checkout machines were operational.
All of those lights must be on the backup generator, then? It looks like virtually all of the lights in the store are still functioning.
ReplyDeleteNo Network coverage of the big small biz news out of Derwood?
This place is as German as Der Wienerschnitzel. LOL
ReplyDeleteBack to the Giant... so they have all of the lights on the backup generator, but only some of the refrigerators? That's kinda dumb. I can't wait till they tear down this crappy shopping center.

ReplyDeleteDid you contact PEPCO to find out the nature of the problem? Maybe it's a complex problem that can't be resolved in just an hour or two. Just before 2 PM (Eastern Time), it looks like there are still some customers without power.
Comments disabled on the hot dog story? I guess Dyer’s commenters are...

ReplyDelete11:25am good, that means folks won't have to worry about running into you at most Bethesda restaurants.
DeleteStay in Frederick.
Those hot dogs look OK, but what are the calorie counts? I think Dyer's meal came to 2,000+ calories!
ReplyDeleteDid Dyer really eat those three sandwiches in one sitting? What a pig. I'll bet he "purged" afterwards.
