Ritz Camera has closed at 6917 Arlington Road in Bethesda. It's a big loss for those who haven't switched entirely to digital or cellphone photography. Ritz Camera traces its history back to Benjamin Ritz's portrait studio at the Ritz Hotel in Atlantic City, which opened in 1918.
The contents of the store have been cleared out. One great irony is that the last regular post on their Facebook page April 16 was advertising a GoPro digital camera. Hope you picked up your photos!

What do murder and public art have to do with each other?
And on the subject of "art", did you attend the Bethesda Arts Festival on Norfolk Avenue yesterday? It was a treat. It's open today, too, but the weather isn't nearly as nice as it was yesterday.
"One great irony is that the last regular post on their Facebook page April 16 was advertising a GoPro digital camera."
How is this an "irony"?
Robert, how would you have prevented the triple murder? Seems like a strange thing to call out the county council on.
4.5 months into 2018, and there have been 6 murders recorded in Montgomery County. If the trend continues, there will be 16 murders by the end of the year - the same as 2016, and a significant drop from 2017.
Looks like none of the homicides in Montgomery County year-to-date were in any way connected to MS-13. There goes Dyer's precious talking point.
Brussels has cartoons painted on all sorts of buildings. Is that also a sign of the decline of civilization?
Your “journalism” is so bizarre, Robert. You sprinkle in weird political ads for a campaign you are sure to lose and just outwardly make up far fetched facts. Sad. Get a hobby, Dyer. Or better yet - a job.
3:14: I have a job, and it's better than your job trolling for the MoCo political cartel for pizza money.
Murders are up 31% - that's the police department's official statistic.
10:32: Nobody ever claimed all homicides were MS-13 related except you. Do you really want to get into the State's Attorney's record of going easy on perpetrators of violence against women in rape and murder cases? Not a good talking point for you, as a representative of the MoCo political machine.
9:06: Wrong - it's going to be another big one, but until then, we still have a 31% spike in murders to address. Haven't heard anything from our soft-on-crime Council on that front.
Oh, cool, a fun art story...my thoughts before getting slammed by the five-fingered death punch of campaign propaganda hyperbole.
This one's almost shameful. Your continued onslaught on art. Distasteful.

Riemer, Leggett, et al. are ushering MoCo into a post truth era where they want to dispute crime and economic statistics...just because they're negative and don't align with their narrative.
"Robert claims that he is not featured on Google's news feed because he won't pay their extortion money."
Just as he claims that Bethesda Beat has 50 times as many followers as he does because the followers are "bought".
11:03 AM Yes, those followers were bought from Bethesda NOW when that blog crashed and burned.
I think the BethesdaNOW business "assets" were sold to BethMag for $1. A common procedure with business acquisitions to purchase information base lists for nominal price (Sect 197 intangibles) to continue length-of-time, quantity, or position rankings and other going concern type things.
"Crashed and burned"? Really? As I recall Bethesda Now was in continuous operation until it was acquired by Bethesda Magazine and became Bethesda Beat.
7:04: Wrong. Bethesda Beat was created by Steve Hull/Bethesda Magazine quite a while before Bethesda Now failed. It only acquired the social media followers that Bethesda Now had purchased at great expense from Facebook and Twitter. The website itself is NOT Bethesda Now, which failed spectacularly and folded.
It's amazing what Dyer will tell himself, rather than deal with his lifetime of failure.
9:14: You're in a dark room trolling my very successful website - who has the "lifetime of failure" again?
"You're in a dark room..."
Types Dyer at 12:30 AM.
"my very successful website"
Yeah, sure it is. Let's see some readership numbers.

Tim,
You mean like Dyer does with his moribund claims?
You mean like Dyer does with his "crime" hyperbole?
Or Dyer's claims that the Washington Post has a policy against mentioning his name in their media endeavors?

And with one brief sentence, Dyer @9:30 proves 9:14's comment.
