[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visited the area for the first time since during the pandemic, specifically Montgomery County. I’m a bit shocked. New construction everywhere. Strip malls everywhere. Panera bread, everywhere. My local movie theatre has become “Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas” and everything along 270 between The Kentlands and Bethesda Row has become a wannabe-variation of The Grove in Los Angeles. My beef isn’t the cost of cinema tickets - that’s been universal around the world - but the sense that what I used to perceive as a pretty heterogeneous, inclusive county has become dominated by some sort of aestheticized TikTok new urbanism where everything has an accent aigu aspirationally edited into its name. -Shivering in disorientation at Westfield Montgomery Mall as I remember the 90s and early 2000s[/quote] I’m wondering who actually goes into any of these places and buys something?
