Home Depot in Bethesda is selling what may be the top inflatable lawn decoration of the 2018 Christmas season. The 4.9' tall, 8' wide National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation station wagon comes complete with Christmas tree strapped to the top.

If you are a Star Wars fan, you might argue that the 7.6' tall First Order Gorilla Walker is a better choice, and certainly a much more imposing one. Traditionalists may prefer the 5.9' Snoopy and Charlie Brown Christmas tree scene.

Is it possible to imagine a scenario where parking somewhere in Bethesda actually gets better? It just happened at Home Depot at 7111 Westlake Terrace. Workers have finished demolishing part of the Home Depot Square strip mall there, and have laid down some new asphalt and painted on some parking spaces. The new parking area stands out with the fresh black asphalt color.

Demolition update: Vince & Dominic's/Home Depot Square in Bethesda (Photos)

The demolition of a large part of the strip mall behind Home Depot in Bethesda continues, including the former home of Vince & Dominic's Pizzeria. Supposedly, the razing of this section is going to create more room for parking for Home Depot customers. Businesses in the other section of the strip mall, including Five Guys, will remain open for business.
