Coffee Republic looks like it could open any day now at 7701 Woodmont Avenue in the ground floor of the Bethesda Place apartments. Seating is in place, or stacked in some cases. In terms of decor, neon artworks join a painting of Jesus Christ as Superman on the interior walls. No opening date has been announced yet for the coffee shop, which connects to the Lidl grocery store in the building. Coffee Republic has two locations in Washington, D.C. and one in Rockville. Their Crystal City shop abruptly closed on March 5, but the chain told ARLnow that it is finalizing a deal to move into another space nearby. Back here in Bethesda, here is a sneak peek inside:

Blasphemy. Next.
I really don't see why, in an increasingly polarized and edgy world, and in relatively tough economic times (including in Bethesda), an establishment with plenty of competition only steps away feels the need to display prominently a piece of art that it has to know will alienate at least some of its potential customers. (And I have to wonder, what will they be putting up next?)
Opening date?
Jesus is not a man, he's (was) Superman!
I won't step foot in there.
