[quote=Anonymous]Downtown Bethesda resident here and I love it.  If you don't live here and your only exposure is Wisconsin Avenue at rush hour, then you could develop a pretty skewed perception of what life here is really like. When the weather is nice I walk all the time.  When I feel like driving, I drive, and the parking has increased exponentially in the last few years with several new commercial lots.  So, don't believe those who say that there is no parking because either they havent been here in years or they are too lazy to walk a block or two. When you live here, you know how to manage it.

Love the shops, restaurants, farmers market, various food businesses like Cornucopia, Butchers Alley, Pescadeli, Vace, etc.  There is much more in Bethesda than Tenleytown, and more coming.  Whether you think this is a good thing or a bad thing is a matter of perspective.  A lot of people here in Bethesda don't like all the development, as many old buildings are being torn down for mid or high rise mixed residential/retail. I happen to love it.  Tenleytown residents have been more effective at limiting development, but their commercial area has suffered for it and to me, it is less appealing than many other areas.  Still the area has its charm and it is less "sanitized" than Bethesda probably feels to some people.  Tenleytown feels to me like Bethesda did when I first moved here 20 years ago. [/quote]
