Marlyland is, for all intents and purposes, bankrupt and has resorted to casino gaming to help balance the books. The Purple Line is unfunded and has zero chance of being built anytime soon.

no, the purple line is so far from being built and it wil go along the back boarder of the neighborhood if it is ever built.

It will slice through East Bethesda like a hot knife through butter.

I don't think so. Not after the Puple Line pushes through it like Sherman through Georgia.

There will never be a direct Metro link from PG County to Bethesda. Not gonna happen.

I live there and am the PP who mentioend it is a long time away and there is no funding for it. If it is to be built it would run along the trail between the neighborhood and columbia country club. the houses that back up to it are along Kentbury Drive.

Is the plan to build a Harris Teeter in the neighborhood still going on?

MD built the budget busting ICC and now there's no money for it. Also Baltimore wants money for its own light rail projects. The Purple line is nothing but a dream.

So are the people in East Bethesda generally down to earth, or are they just like the residents of other Bethesda neighborhoods (social strivers, nouveau riche, and just generally snotty).

i'm guessing this is being asked sarcastically and i don't know the answer, but interested in whether bethesda's reputation as "snooty" is really deserved. thoughts? seems like a nice place - are people really very different there vs. for example north arlington?

That is a wonderful neighborhood with lots of kids.

Lots of digging going on at that site. Not sure for what. But unless it's another Jimmy Hoffa dig, a building is definitely being put up.
