The epic history of The Claiborne condominiums in Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle continues to be slowly written, one painstaking page at a time. This project has been in the works since 2016. A demolition process for the structures that remained on the lot after Steamers was razed in 2017 has been dragging on since last September. It appears an interior demolition is now underway inside the former Thelo Greek Grill space at 8009 Norfolk Avenue. Turtle power!

ICYMI, here's another African American cemetery under attack in this community. https://www.marylandmatters.org/2021/06/03/cemetery-near-controversial-road-project-is-among-nations-most-endangered/
The rubble in the window looks very similar to what was visible in a photo I took on April 5. Unless you spotted people working on it, I think the project is still in a state of suspended animation.
Thelo…had awesome gyros during their brief existence. Too bad they couldn’t even get their phone number right on their menus.
The lack of urgency to demolish these derelict structures is appalling.
