This strikes me as another "car before horse" bureaucratic miscue, like the Shady Grove school bus garage relocation. <br /><br />Don't think that this type of thing is unique to MoCo though. There's a plethora of Arlington County projects that fall under the same category.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-62303961000954605492016-07-25T09:10:20.397-07:002016-07-25T09:10:20.397-07:008:38am you're making stuff up.

In this article, I'm actually sticking up for the landowner against the County.<br /><br />If you think that building more residential housing alone will help us catch up to the economic development prowess of Northern Virginia and the District, well, that's why we're in this mess, thanks to your bossmen Riemer and Leventhal.

And the total width they want is 122' down Wisconsin between Chestnut Street and Bethesda Avenue. They'd have to demolish the theater, and many, many other buildings to get that. It's absolutely preposterous.
