Electric power has either been turned off to save energy, or entirely cut off at the Westwood Center II mini-mall at 5110 Ridgefield Road in Bethesda. The building and adjacent Citgo gas station are expected to be demolished in the near future. They will be replaced by an assisted living senior housing development, and a realigned Westbard Avenue that will directly connect to River Road. With no light coming from the mall or the vacant nursing home across the street, it's pitch black on that block of Ridgefield at night.
I live in that area and say: Let the demolition commence. Get the show on the road, quit dilly-dallying and tear those buildings down already.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to when this area gets freshened up. It's been a long time coming.
ReplyDeleteAfter the utilities are disconnected, the next thing to watch for is the erection of a construction fence on the perimeter.
