[quote=Anonymous]How downtrodden does Connecticut Avenue, NW in Chevy Chase need to get before anyone does anything about it?  Community leaders, business owners, and home owners should be embarrassed (as I am).  The store fronts are dilapidated, sidewalks are a mess, and tree wells have more weeds than trees on some blocks.  Cleveland Park section of Conn looks far nicer, VanNess section is getting shinned up - when is someone going to take action in CC?  The population of homeowners in CC, DC and MD would certainly frequent "The Avenue" more if there was a nicer looking street scape and better options.  So many neighbors seem to travel to Friendship Heights and Bethesda for purchases.  They all say they would prefer to go closer on Conn, but there are no good options and everything is just run down. I am not suggesting box stores, just some better restaurants (Macon and Jetties have been good additions), renovated store fronts, nice sidewalks, attractive street lights, and tree wells with actual healthy trees and no weeds.  One major example is the Child's Play store, their store front is the worst offender (especially for how popular they are).  Are they waiting for the crumbling faded blue sign to fall down on a child before they renovate/fix it?  Another deplorable example is the Chinese restaurant - how long until they replace the missing and broken awning.  I could also mention the rundown Safeway, but that could be a thread on it's own.  I live in the neighborhood and love it, but this is getting ridiculous.  We need to take pride in our neighborhood and get the business owners and community leaders to do the same.  We are lucky to have a commercial avenue in our beautiful residential neighborhood and we should take action to make it look nice and be far more successful![/quote]
