CAR CRASH-RELATED HOLE IN BETHESDA GARAGE GETTING PATCHED (PHOTOS)

Somebody was listening last week, when I reported on the massive hole that remained in Montgomery County Parking Garage 40 (Cordell-St. Elmo Garage) after a car wreck four months ago. The wall is being patched up, and the space is blocked off in the meantime. A fresh coat of paint on the exterior and interior walls should leave Garage 40 looking as good as new.

CAR SMASHES HOLE IN WALL OF DOWNTOWN BETHESDA PARKING GARAGE (PHOTOS)

D'oh!!

Parking Garage 40 has an unplanned window on downtown Bethesda, after a woman reportedly crashed her car into the garage's wall. A witness tells me that a woman driving a white car smashed into the wall on the garage's second level around 5:00 PM on Monday (April 21). The force of the collision busted a large hole right through the wall, which has been boarded up on the interior. This is the wall that faces toward Union Jack's up the block. The heavily-used garage has entrances on both Cordell and St. Elmo Avenues.

And you thought parking in
Bethesda drove you up the wall..
