MAKE MEANING BETHESDA ROW CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (PHOTOS)

Here is the latest progress at the future Make Meaning family activity and party center on Bethesda Avenue. 

You can see the new facade, with multi-colored panels, has been added. If you recall what the space used to look like, there is much more glass here (there previously was brick around the ground floor entrance in front). A somewhat frumpy design overall has been replaced with a modern, industrial look. 

This is the company's first DC-area location; Make Meaning has others in New York City, Arizona, California and Boston. The NYC flagship is a favorite of celebrity moms Katie Holmes and Jennifer Garner.

Make Meaning's NYC flagship isn't just the choice of Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise anymore. A company spokesperson says that the party and activity center is also a favorite of celebrity parents Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.

The company forwarded these photos of another celebrity making an appearance yesterday at Make Meaning, which is expanding to Bethesda this year. Singer-songwriter-actress Jewel was there for a new Swiffer product launch, the Sweep and Trap.
