MOSTLY MONOGRAMS MOVES OUT OF BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

Mostly Monograms has completed its third relocation over the last two years. The shop was originally in the Bradley Shopping Center in Bethesda, and moved to the nearby Westwood Center II on Ridgefield Road in 2013. It has now vacated that space, and moved to 4216-B Howard Avenue in Kensington.

Westwood Center II now has, among its vacancies, what are arguably two of its highest-visibility storefronts - the former Mostly Monograms, and the vacant Weight Watchers space. Given that any potential redevelopment of this property is at least two years off, I'm curious to see what kind of tenants owner Equity One can fill these spaces with in the meantime.

The average income and demographics around Westwood Center II are out-of-this-world, and you would think any retailer or restaurant would want to capitalize on that. Yet the ground-level West River Deli space remains vacant over 2 years later. Meanwhile, other long-time tenants there continue along just fine, so you can't blame the vacancies on the building itself.

BOOKTOPIA CLOSES IN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

Booktopia, a shop offering children's books and a variety of toys and gifts, is the latest small business to close in the Bradley Shopping Center.

Previously, Bruce Variety left (they are now located a few blocks north at 8011 Woodmont Avenue - take Arlington to St. Elmo, and turn onto Woodmont), and Kae Robin Gifts closed.

Mostly Monograms has moved to the Westwood Center II at the corner of River and Ridgefield Roads.

So far, only 1 tenant has replaced a departed one, and that is Bradley Party and Variety.

MOSTLY MONOGRAMS OPENS AT WESTWOOD CENTER II IN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

Mostly Monograms has made the move from Bradley Shopping Center to its new home at the modern Westwood Center II, at the corner of River Road and Ridgefield Road.

They are now officially open for business, and there is plenty of convenient parking. Westwood Center II is also home to Yirasai Sushi, and Ride On Route 23 stops directly in front of the building.

MOSTLY MONOGRAMS MOVING TO WESTWOOD CENTER II IN BETHESDA

Mostly Monograms, currently located in the Kae Robin store in the Bradley Shopping Center, is moving to the Westwood Center II on Monday, May 6.

The Westwood II is a very nice shopping center, with ample parking, at the corner of River and Ridgefield Roads in the Westbard area. It's the multilevel, indoor-outdoor mall structure, not to be confused with its sister, the Westwood Shopping Center across Westbard Avenue.
