Saul Centers is preparing to give a facelift to the Metro Pike Center at 11520 Rockville Pike in White Flint. The shopping center will receive a facade update in the coming months. Let's hope it is more retro than the replacement signage that was installed at the front of the property in the late 2010s. Lost were the totally 80s "Metro Pike Center" logo and background grid (see photo below), replaced by the most abominably-generic font and signage Max Headroom or Buckaroo Banzai could imagine in their nightmares (see photo at top). According to LoopNet, Metro Pike Center was constructed in 1990. White Flint is synonymous with the 80s, and that character should be retained to maintain the "sense of place" that Montgomery County planners give so much lip service to.

Say this hypno phrase over and over until it sinks in. Get it?
Lipstick on a pig until the council decides to allow MCPD to enforce theft and robbery laws already on the books.
I don't associate the 80's with anything except New Wave music. The latter was not my cup of tea.

Look still look ugly.

My God, can you actually believe that an Anthropologie© had a store there...
