Pampillonia under construction at Bethesda Row

Pampillonia's new Bethesda Row location is now under construction on Bethesda Lane. The longtime tenant of Mazza Gallerie will relocate here later this spring. Here is a rendering of what the finished storefront will look like:

Meanwhile, Runway missed its reopening date Monday, as renovations took a bit longer than originally expected.

O'ROURKE JEWELERS CLOSING IN BETHESDA AFTER OVER 45 YEARS (PHOTOS)

Amidst the barrage of Ronnie Mervis and "Jewelry Exchange in Bethesda!!!" ads, it's sometimes easy to forget the quieter jewelers in Bethesda - some of whom have been around for decades. O'Rourke Ltd. Jewelers is one of those. Sadly, they will be closing their doors (or should I say, door?) at 7950 Norfolk Avenue for good on January 31. O'Rourke has been in business here for over 45 years.

Their space will now be up for lease, on a block that has seen tremendous change south of the store. Part of the older structures that line the block was demolished to make way for the Norfolk-Cordell II building, which now houses Smashburger, rooftop restaurant Roof, and - next month - a Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins store.
