Not surprising, rumors have been flying around for years, what do you think will replace it?

| oh no! We don't live in Bethesda anymore but when we did, I loved going there. Anytime we are in Bethesda, still love to stop by. |

| Sad. With all the Borders stored closed, and the downtown BN closed, there are no big bookstores left in DC. Now the BN in Bethesda will be closing. |

Aw man, my first real job was there. Many many fond memories of hanging out with friends in Bethesda going to UA and then wandering B&N. So sad

| So sad. I just hope yet another restaurant doesn't move into the space. It would be a good space for a TJ maxx or homegoods. |

That would not happen there. |

Why is it closing? Did the rent skyrocket? What a shame. It draws a lot of people and contributes to a community feel. |

| So sad. We moved to Baltimore and have a nice BN in the inner harbor. I am wondering how long will that one last. |

So disappointed.
My reasons for going to downtown Bethesda continue to shrink, and with all the parking issue, I expect I'll only be going a couple of times a a year now, if that, even though we live close by |
