      Yes it fell. All the employees came outside and fled. The robbers came in a huge moving truck and took lots of merchandise.

    The Maryland national capital parks turn the lights off nightly at 9 PM. Maybe they should rethink that and keep nights on all night long just like the rest of Bethesda.

    Goodness, that Bloomingdales robbery sounds terrifying. Can you link to a story so I can read more? Nothing comes up on Google when I enter “Bloomingdales robbery 2022” and either “chevy chase” or “friendship heights.”

    Yoo-hoo, 2:35/8:34, we're all still waiting to see a link to any published news report substantiating your otherwise fraudulent, deceitful claim about the Friendship Heights Bloomingdale's having been robbed the other day.
