It looks to be almost go-time for The Heights, the new food hall at The Shops at Wisconsin Place at 5310 Western Avenue in the Friendship Heights area of Chevy Chase. Signs have been installed outside and over the individual tenant stalls inside.
Murals and artwork now adorn the interior walls, including a ghostly image of the late Anthony Bourdain. Even the cash registers are in place. Outside, Urbano Mexican Fare, the only full-service restaurant at the food hall, sports a unique green wall. The Heights had been expected to open last month, but the website is now saying "Summer 2023."

Meanwhile; multiple exits continue from the food court at Westfield Montgomery, such as Ya Mon, Malia's, and Adonni's Desserts. All three were sure bets to be gone within a year.
I wish them luck! Just don't see the traffic til a few projects are completed and occupies, it's gonna be a few years if they can white knuckle it.
Who else thinks that we should pay a living wage for food and drink in Bethesda. How do we figure that out. Tips aren't the answer.
“Traffic”? They are within walking distance of thousands of people who live in Friendship Heights Village. If the food is good, “traffic” will be just fine.
Not me Shanel. These jobs are meant for younger peeps starting out, then to training or school for better paying jobs. We don't even have summer jobs for our kids anymore. We should disincentiveize such jobs as food service as the pinnacle or end all. Unchecked immigration is most if the root cause.
Hey 348, Maybe. I've had a few American citizens. Some choose school, and some don't choose school. It's that way for everybody. It's not an immigration problem. Ask yourself why the best paying job for a HS senior not going to college is joining our military, and then ask, why do we prevent so many kids from that job. Used to be that was an option. Our paid military should take more risky kids.
There used to be a time when kids would start working for minimum wage jobs to teach them work ethics and how to advance when you work hard. Now many of these same kids who benefited from the hard work of boomers/GenX/GenY weren't pushed to succeed and hence wanted a living wage from starter jobs because they got BA's in Sociology, Psychology, 14th Century French Literature etc.
These jobs were not meant to sustain a family, (especially in high-cost areas like DC), and raising the minimum wage to a living wage really has no ceiling as everything gets more expensive and all you're doing is changing the scale.
As a LEGAL immigrant who comes from a country where there is no safety net, the generosity of this country is unparalleled but does encourage the weak minded to be lazy and the push from one political side for even more entitlements is not only crazy, but suicide to a great country.
Another false choice, you're two for two lately.
