End of an era in Chevy Chase as Lord & Taylor to close all stores

Lakeforest Mall's Lord & Taylor was first on the chopping block. More recently the department store chain announced their White Flint Mall location was closing. The Chevy Chase NW Lord & Taylor appeared safe at the time. No more.

Lord & Taylor announced Thursday that it will be closing all of its remaining stores, including the one at 5255 Western Avenue NW. What a sad day it is as the 194-year history of America's first department store, and a valuable shopping resource on the Maryland-D.C. line, will soon have ceased to exist. Now the intrigue begins as to what might replace Lord & Taylor in Chevy Chase...

    Lerner needs to better temporarily program the vast empty lots they have at White Flint. They could have setup a Summer limited run drive-in movie, for example. The property would have worked perfect for that.

  4. White Flint would be a good location for a testing facility.
