Boards finally removed from Amazon Books at Bethesda Row (Video+Photos)
The unsettling aesthetic of stores boarded up in downtown Bethesda is finally coming to an end, weeks after fear of looting led businesses to cover their windows. One of the last holdouts, Amazon Books, removed their boards last night. It was remarkable that two of the most "woke" men in business, Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook, were among the quickest to presume that protests would equate to looting. No formal protests have been held in downtown Bethesda for three weeks.

Why do you assume that Jeff Bezos and Jim Cook were personally behind the decisions to board up the Bethesda stores?
11:33AM I think you mean Tim Apple, correct?
Uh... those two guys had zero to do with the decision to board up. Do you really think they made the call, Robert?
Any idea when it plans to reopen?
