It's also part of the property that was once home to the classic Cineplex Odeon Tenley Circle Theater, where I saw a few films years ago. It closed in 1999, but fortunately has a second life as the Greenberg Theatre, thanks to American University.
Surfside will be opening very soon; stay tuned for an opening date. According to an email from Georgetown Events, they are currently hiring staff for all positions at the Tenleytown location. In addition to tacos, Surfside also offers other Mexican specialties ranging from tamales to quesadillas to even a pan-seared trout with vegetables and rice.
Georgetown Events also owns the very popular Jetties chain, which has a Bethesda location at Veterans Park at 4829 Fairmont Avenue.
"It's also part of the property that was once home to the classic Cineplex Odeon Tenley Circle Theater, where I saw a few films years ago." A few years ago! Try twenty to be exact. That chain has been dead longer than your thought process, and what does it add to the story? Nadda.
ReplyDeleteThe surrounding towns!
ReplyDeleteTenleytown, DC Chevy Chase, Palisades, etc are very relevant to Maryland residents bordering such areas. This isn't East and West Germany..lol
You know what else is "opening very soon"?
ReplyDeleteAnthony's Coal-Fired Pizza and Avenue Cafe, RIGHT HERE IN BETHESDA.
7:50 AM Yeah and Dyer broke the story on both restaurants coming here a long time ago.
ReplyDelete7:15: It adds the authority of a lifelong resident. A carpetbagger can't give you that kind of in-depth context.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't DC residents call you a "carpetbagger"?
ReplyDelete8:10: A lifelong resident can't be a carpetbagger, old sport.
ReplyDelete"Is this a test bed for Robert Dyer DC edition?"
ReplyDeleteDyer needs to figure out what to do with his 7 stillborn blogs before he "expands" any more.

Pssst...Comet Ping-Pong
Thank you for grabbing that from my perfectly appropriate comment before Robbie boy deleted it.
DeleteThis was reported in PoPVille and The Hoya many months ago.
ReplyDelete1) Comet Ping Pong will always hang over your head.
ReplyDelete2) You are no more a lifelong DC resident than you are a lifetime Gaithersburg resident. TRUTH.
3) You're just trying to do to others what you claim folks have done to you. Horn in on what they are doing. Why else do you call yourself Suburban News Network.
4) A lifelong resident. Pfft. You and a couple hundred thousand other people. I've been here longer than you've been alive, but still, I'm not a lifelong resident. ( Ohio born. ) So I don't see that being so exclusive and special.
PS. Don't worry, I keep copies of my posts, so I'll be able to restore it after your meltdown deletion.
Reminder: Robert Dyer was not born in Bethesda, not born in Montgomery County, not born in Maryland. He was not born in the several hospitals in the District of Columbia which are only a few miles from Bethesda.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't know who this "anna" might be but they are pretty sad. Why so hung up on Dyer, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteSo...why no rant about the 20,000 customers per weekend that Tenleytown has lost because of that closed cineplex?
ReplyDeleteOver 20 years, that's a loss of 21 million customers total.
Local elected officials and government leaders would *love* if Dyer could be shut down. I'm sure they've tried...lol.
ReplyDeleteHe's the lone source of skeptical local government coverage.
Dyer is the Fourth Estate in MoCo.
Others should be encouraged to step up an join him, even in the legacy media. Imagine if WTOP spent as much time holding our elected official accountable as they did analyzing how thick the toilet paper is in MCPS.
7:15 AM: May I reproduce your fine comment, namely:

Shame on Dyer for writing “I saw a few films years ago”. It’s perfectly understandable that you should berate him for this. Does he not realize that moronic Dyer haters will find a sequence of seven one-syllable words too difficult to understand?
Love your castigation of Dyer’s thought process. Your own thought process is admirable.
Extra points for getting close to correct spelling of a tricky word in a foreign tongue.
Hoping for more gems from you!
Cineplex Odeon Tenley Circle was hardly a "classic". It was a very bland late-1970s twin theater, in an equally bland 1970s office building, that was only open two decades. Local residents may have happy memories of specific movies they saw there, but absolutely no one misses it.
ReplyDeleteMuch more memorable was the Swensen's right there, the Roy Rogers that was right across the street, and Johnson's Florist on that block.
Yeah, Swensen's and Roy's. Great ones. 100%

ReplyDeleteActually the word "ago" has two syllables.
So much hate because a man reported a new Tenleytown restaurant.
ReplyDeleteThe haters clearly have too much time on their hands.
I love the news from the surrounding towns.
I love that Dyer is bringing his brand of reporting to Tenleytown and surrounding towns!
ReplyDeleteFifty-six incisive, witty and substantive comments! Right down to how many syllables in “ago”! Take a bow, Dyer obsessives!
ReplyDeleteOpening when?
