There is some activity at the rear of the stalled Toll Brothers 8008 Wisconsin Avenue project site in downtown Bethesda. It looks like a shipping container has been brought in, and as a result, the gate was opened in the fencing along Cordell Avenue. That gave an opportunity to get some photos from the public sidewalk of the "beer house," a.k.a. Dunmor's Beer & Wine, seven years after it closed for a redevelopment that has yet to take place. And of the rear of the Wisconsin-facing vacant retail strip that once included the Ranger Surplus store.

First time I noticed the backside of that fake gable roof. I sure hope this means at least demo is underway. The broken shards of non-tempered non-safety glass on the Safire storefront are still fully exposed on Wisconsin Avenue and very dangerous. The current land owner needs to step up an make this safe.
I don't take construction sites or activity seriously until a Porta Potty shows up.
got excited, thought a beer house was coming to bethesda!
What will happen to the classic motorsickle out front?
This is supposed to be the site for Artena Bethesda, developed by Aksoylu Properties. Now this property developer is real and they have their offices in a chunk of an office building in Manassas. They even have their name on the side of the building. Now when I called to ask about when they are building Artena Bethesda, the receptionist said they don’t know anything or who I could talk to……….
The blue shipping container has been there for years. It shows up on the Streetview image from Nov 2016.
