Future St. Elmo Apts. site a parking lot for now

The long and winding road to the rise of the St. Elmo Apartments at 4931 Fairmont Avenue has taken another small turn. First proposed in 2014, the high-rise was delayed for several years, and then revised to be a taller building in 2018. While no official groundbreaking has taken place yet, part of the site has been cleared of office and commercial structures. Now that portion is being put to use to store Mercedes Benz vehicles by EuroMotorcars.

Still to be demolished are more businesses on the St. Elmo Avenue side of the property, including Chef Tony's and Vuk. No timetable has been announced for that demolition, and those businesses remain open.

    I hope Vuk finds another space. My son will be devastated when it's gone. But it was only there because the rent was basically free.

    Dyer believes in alternative facts.

      8:46am another local blog claimed, falsely, back in 2017 that payless was about to close at Westfield Montgomery.

      Alternative facts, but not on Robert Dyer's site.

    Wow...pointing out a false report about Payless closing two years ago triggered at least one guy. Why do you care that I brought that up?

    yes, you're hilarious. At least you think so.

  9. Um, 3:17PM? As I read it, 3:04 wasn't trying to be funny, he/she/undecided was laughing at the Anonymous poster taking all of ONE MINUTE to tell a different poster to move on. Like a hawk, waiting, watching, ready to pounce.

    Yep...I think you might owe 3:04 an apology...

      3:34pm you're not exactly the best messenger to criticize people about visiting Dyer's site more than once a day

  10. 3:34PM - Aren't you the little sensitive one. I was explaining to 3:17 how they had misinterpreted another's comment. Reading comprehension not your strong suit?

    OMG! There are rules about how many times a day you can read a blog? And here I thought that when someone posted to the public, they wanted the public to read it.

      6:11am what is your real name? I'm trying to do a background search on you, get your address, find out more about your family, etc. It seems you don't exist online.

      Thanks in advance.

    10:16am you claim, without any proof, that all comments are published by Dyer himself or a "helper".

    Do you know how foolish you look to the various people who comment here?

  12. My, my...aren't you the nosy one. Why you wanna be stalkering on me?

    Like I've said my real name is Anna Van Horn. Says so right there on my birth certificate. I don't believe I caught your name.

    Always have something to wish for; otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.

  18. Family? Yes. In Washington, Oregon, California, New York, South Carolina, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Florida and Texas. None left in this area, though. Oh wait, I do have a cousin in Alexandria I've never met. I wasn't born here. I moved to Bethesda in 1963.
