There's a WHAT on Bethesda Lane? (Photos)

A Tesla pop-up has returned to Bethesda Row, featuring perhaps the most appropriate Tesla vehicle for Bethesda, the Tesla Model X SUV. But it's what's attached to the back of the Model X that's attracting the most attention on Bethesda Lane - a vintage Airstream trailer.

The juxtaposition is perhaps softened by the fact that the Airstream's lines were futuristic and ahead of their time, maybe even more than the Tesla's. Perhaps Tesla is wise to the fact that the hipsters of Bethesda are very wealthy hipsters.

It should be noted that this is small-scale compared to more elaborate Tesla pop-ups coming to resort cities this summer. Those are often like tents with more of a showroom-style display on the walls inside.

Sugar Shack pop-up selling sweet summer treats in Bethesda

Just when the heat returned this week, there is a new option to cool off at the Shops at Wildwood in Bethesda. The Sugar Shack is a pop-up shack selling Dolci Gelati, frozen Picnic Pops, Nye's ice cream sandwiches, and Karma Korn caramel corn in front of Red Orchard at 10253 Old Georgetown Road. Each vendor is local or regional, for those seeking to buy local products.

Sugar Shack says their current hours will be from noon until 6:00 PM, but that they are experimenting to see at what hours there is the most demand. You can see a menu online before heading there.
