Somebody already said the back lot gets full too!

So you circle around or shop elsewhere. OP sounds like the entitled father who stormed over to me during my afternoon duty at school pickup last week complaining he had to circle the lot twice and demanded “what was he supposed to do??” I informed him calmly of his options (walk, use the carline, or keep circling the parking lot) and he stormed off. No doubt to go complain to his wife about having to collect his children from school.

Yep, this would never ever happen in Wheaton or Silver Spring.

I’m a poor living in a condo and I go there all the time. Crappy car too.

Then people should take their business elsewhere.

And these people are lying. There are always open spaces, but they might require a short walk. God forbid they inconvenience themselves rather than others.

And being an inconsiderate a-hole is not a “community norm” ffs.

All of this!

I hate people who don't understand that there isn't a stop sign for people entering the shopping center near Flower Child. GO PEOPLE YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP!

I will admit I have sometimes pull up to that lane and stopped at dinner time to let my kid (public school!) grab a takeout order from fish taco. I try to be attentive though and if there’s a line I’ll loop around. There is often no parking available so it’s hard to park to pick up a take out order — they have a couple pull up spots at fish taco and chopt for the pick ups but they are usually blocked! I hate that strip mall so much but I love fish taco, the pizza place and the sushi place.

There are ALWAYS parking spaces. They just might not be as convenient for you.

The parking lot in the back is relatively pleasant (and isn't even much more of a walk). existed until recently.

The back is usually full too. Many spaces were lost to the construction of the apartment building.

Right, I stopped going to the back because it was always closed or blocked with big-ass trucks

There is a crosswalk there. People are stopping for pedestrians. 😳

That's not the intersection without a Stop sign. It's the entrance from Old Georgetown going straight towards Flower Child.

Absolutely this. This is Bad Parenting 101. If nothing else, you're feeding your kids a terrible breakfast.

Well, you should be cooking at home. This is not good for you or your family.

So what's the deal with all the overpriced boutiques in this place? Are you really buying?

To get takeout once every month or two from a sushi place or a place that makes fresh made pizza or fresh burritos? I make sushi at home, but I really don't see how it's more healthy than buying it from the sushi place at Wildwood. And I do make carnitas at home, but again I don't think it's any more healthy than the carnitas from Fish Taco.

OP again. I went this morning and there were NO cars in the fire lane. I'm sure it was a coincidence but it felt good to thing someone who needed to see this thread did and changed their behavior

I even saw a girl in a private school skirt crossing the parking lot 😂

It was a much happier morning.

Yup same issue at the cabin John sbux in Potomac. Same entitled woman in her Range Rover parks in the fire lane, rolls out of the car wearing her designer lounge wear and Ugg slippers, and takes up the lane while she grabs coffee.

That is what you get for living in the burbs OP. And, you do seem to particularly resent private school girls as you mentioned them in at least 2 of your posts here.
