Cordell has changed a lot but still has the old Woodmont Triangle feel. I really hope that a huge building isn't on the drawing board. And I'm reminded that Pines is also for sale. Matter of time for some of those sites no doubt. And the Pines building used to be a single-family home. Pretty wild to think that was a residential street completely.
7:03am - Indeed - Woodmont Triangle has had more of an urban village feel. The skyscrapers were supposed to be built around the Metro.
Then all of a sudden they're trying to build the tallest building in Bethesda in the Triangle. Makes no sense.
And the downtown hasn't had any expansion of public open space that was promised.. The Council fumbled expanding Veterans Park.
There was a time when they had commercials on the TV!
There is no “tallest building in Bethesda in the Triangle” proposed. The building proposed for 8000 Wisconsin Avenue is the exact same height as the adjacent Trader Joe’s/Orange Theory building - 16-18 stories. No sane person would describe that as a “skyscraper”.
And the right of way “being expropriated by the MoCo Cartel for a ‘bus rapid transit lane’” is all of 10 feet deep. That’s not even the width of a full traffic lane. The sidewalk is actually quite narrow right now, and the new width will simply match the width of the sidewalks in front of the newer buildings to the south.
The tallest building in Bethesda is right at the new south entrance to the Metro station. What could be more appropriate?
The Woodmont Triangle is within the half-mile walkshed of the Metro station but it’s not Manhattan. It’s not Rosslyn. It’s barely even Friendship Heights or Clarendon.
I don't understand combined Italian - Argentinian cuisine?
12:02 - Thank you for saying that. I was thinking the same thing. I had no idea they were a hybrid. But as you say, what is it? Never heard of that combo.
You guys don’t seem to know the demographics of Argentina. The dominant immigrant group there is Northern Italian (Italians in the USA are primarily from the South). Pope Francis was part of this bunch.
Nice info. Though I think 16-18 stories in this context is pretty darn tall.
Indeed. I just traveled to Argentina, and half of the last names are Italian and every restaurant serves pasta, gelato, pizza, gnocchi, and espresso. Very very Italian
