Power outage darkens multiple high-rises in Bethesda (Photos)

Crescent Plaza blacked out
Thousands of downtown Bethesda residents lost power and air conditioning around 8:44 PM tonight after a mysterious power outage darkened multiple high-rises near the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and Miller Lane. Pepco has been on-scene for a couple of hours now trying to restore power to several properties, including the Solaire Bethesda apartments, the Crescent Plaza condos, and some nearby garden apartments. True Food Kitchen, located in the ground floor of the Solaire, was forced to close early tonight due to the power outage.

    Blame Riemer's disastrous nighttime economy initiative. Things are so bad they don't even bother turning on the lights at night any more!

  3. Yep, that's what a power outage looks like.
    It's quiet too. You don't realize all the machinery that humming 24/7 until it stops.
