The Parva was one of at least 15 nightspots to close in downtown Bethesda after Montgomery County Council President Hans Riemer's "nighttime economy" initiative ended disastrously, crashing our town's nighttime economy in the process. A restaurant, Dog Haus Biergarten, now occupies the Parva's former dining space on the building's ground floor.
And once again, no mention of the harassment campaign against the Parva by one or more residents of the Fairmont Plaza.
ReplyDeletemy dog had parva once....
ReplyDelete"crashing our town's nighttime economy in the process"
ReplyDeleteCan you provide detailed evidence for this claim? Thanks.
Wouldn't the Doghaus opening offset Parva? Much better food and drinking environment than Parva ever was!
ReplyDeleteI think you would be a great leader! I will vote for you
ReplyDelete8:56: Is 15 nightspots closing enough "evidence" for you?
ReplyDelete11:04: No. Parva was a lounge with a dance floor and South Beach atmosphere. Dog Haus is a restaurant.
6:42: Thanks for your support!
7:23: Whatever fantasy campaign you claim there was, it had nothing to do with the demise of The Parva.
Where is post 7:23 Dyer is replying to?
ReplyDelete@ 8:57 PM - Dyer is replying to a comment which stated that the reason for the closure of the Parva was a harassment campaign by one or more residents of the Fairmont Plaza. Apparently he feels the need to protect residents of the Fairmont Plaza from all criticism.
ReplyDeleteWhat 15 nightspots have been lost? Please don't insult our intelligence and name places that have been back filled by a similar use.

ReplyDeleteyeah, Robert is shameless. Makes up far fetched tales in hopes it’ll fit his narrative. Hans wins repeatedly because he’s honest and upstanding.
DeleteSo far these are the only "nightspots" that closed and were not replaced:
ReplyDelete-Relic (closed because of repeated liquor law violations)
-Steamers (closed because of repeated liquor law violations, building demolished ahead of construction of apartment/condo there)
-Parker's (closed along with Sala Thai because landlord Federal Realty chose to replace them with Williams-Sonoma from the moribund Chevy Chase commercial strip)
-RiRa (closed along with their Clarendon restaurant and replaced by a new restaurant in Georgetown)
-Hard Times (briefly Quincy's - closed because of owner's medical debt - this would not have happened in any other developed country)

DeleteDyer counts Urban Heights, The Roof and Tommy Joe's as "3 closed nightspots under Hans Riemer".
ReplyDelete6:24: I never counted Tommy Joe's - it just moved.
ReplyDelete6:16: I have a reputation for impeccable honesty, unlike Hans Riemer, who has repeatedly lied to his constituents. He just did it again yesterday, claiming taxes had not increased in the same press release that paragraphs later admitted tax bills would be increasing. Pretty dumb. Then there was his claim that Westbard was "a mile from two Metros," quickly debunked by Bill Turque in the Washington Post.
And that's not even getting into Riemer's Beerghazi scandal.
6:04: Laughable list! You've got at least ten more to name.
What was funny is that in Turque's article which quoted Riemer, several commenters noted that Turque had exaggerated the distances involved, to the same extent or more than Riemer had supposedly underestimated them.
ReplyDelete"I have a reputation for impeccable honesty"
ReplyDeleteAmong whom?
"Riemer's Beerghazi scandal."
How many people have actually heard about the "scandal" involving those two flunkies drinking pilfered beer on the job?
"You've got at least ten more to name."
So...go ahead. The ball is in your court.
6:59: Turque got it right. No correction was ever demanded or printed in the Post. The Post is a god for you, right?
ReplyDelete7:00: What did Hans know, and when did he know it, about the illegal activity in the DLC? And why did he cover it up until after he was safely reelected in 2014? #Beerghazi

ReplyDeleteTwo flunkies were caught drinking pilfered beer on the job, and promptly fired, as they should have been. What else should have happened, that did not, and how was this a "scandal" in the slightest? Who else thinks that is a "scandal", other than you?
"The Post is a god for you"
ReplyDeleteLOL, Dyer is so full of resentment.
7:17: It was much more than drivers drinking beer. You should have watched all of the News 4 reports before commenting.
ReplyDelete7:20: Your trolling makes clear it's you who are burdened by resentment, as you take cheap shots from the peanut gallery at the pioneer of hyperlocal news in Montgomery County.
"The pioneer of hyperlocal news in Montgomery County."
ReplyDeleteSure. Does anyone else besides you actually call you this?
6:01: Anyone who is knowledgeable about the field of local news in Bethesda and Montgomery County. "In the beginning was the Word."
ReplyDelete"Anyone who is knowledgeable about the field of local news in Bethesda and Montgomery County."
ReplyDeleteIn other words, you can't actually name anyone.
"In the beginning was the Word."
So now you're comparing yourself to Jesus?
Please provide your list of 15 shuttered night spots or stop recycling a bogus data point.
