[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Trader Joe's is coming to Chevy Chase Pavillion.

FH could be incredible if it was connected on the MD side.  You could create another Reston Town Center or whatever they call the area in Rockville/North Bethesda with the REI and LL Bean.

You have a wasted surface lot behind the new Mazza replacement, wasted surface lot at the Saks in CC MD.  You have the Lord & Taylor site...it seems crazy to turn that into the new bus depot...although I guess that opens up development of the current bus depot.

It needs to be far more mixed-use...apartments, retail, entertainment (Dave & Busters, Pinstripes type places), etc.[/quote]

1) No one in DC wants Pike and Rose there, that is a suburban retrofit of a suburban mall. FH can be better.
2) the surface parking lots, as well as a lot of what is there is going to be redeveloped over the next several years
3) the bus garage at Jenifer street is likely to be moved to a revamped facility where Lord & Taylor is currently, opening up the Wisconsin Ave parcel for something better.

There is a Business Improvement District at FH and they are guiding the redevelopment of the area. It will be great in a decade. And property values all around will go up because of it.[/quote]
