BETHESDA METRO ELEVATORS REOPEN 2 DAYS EARLY (PHOTOS)

WMATA completed the delayed repair and inspection of the Bethesda Metro station elevators 2 days ahead of their previously-announced target, Friday.

Last evening, I was able to summon and enter the working elevator. (Whether it keeps working, is anyone's guess!).

Now, some may be reluctant to pop the Champagne corks over an early finish of long-delayed repairs.  But then you realize that we haven't even started on the escalator rehab nightmare, or the long-postponed southern elevator station access project by the Regal Bethesda 10.

BETHESDA BLUES AND JAZZ SUPPER CLUB NOW PLANS FEBRUARY 2013 OPENING (PHOTOS)

The new Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club, which had planned to open later this month, has now confirmed February 2013 as its targeted opening date.

Work continues inside, and residents of The Whitney claim to have even heard some music at least once.

This one should be worth the wait, if you are as big a fan of New Orleans and Cajun cuisine as I am.
