[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief. This is a lot of excitement about basically some old awnings and storefront signs. The sidewalks and buildings are in fine shape.

By and large the businesses on Conn are mom-and-pop shops that are wonderful. I'm sure they'd like some new awnings too. But I would much rather have pumpernickel's bagel shop, the fishmonger, and Bread and Chocolate than another Panera bread or pharmacy. So while it would be great if the awnings and signs were fancier, I would hate to do anything that would turn our little neighborhood shops into another "strip" of chain stores.[/quote]

+1 -- I live within walking/biking distance of FH, CC Circle and Bethesda, and much prefer the CC Circle area.  Sure, the Safeway could stand improvement, but there are many great small shops in that neighborhood.  I'll also note that those businesses are very supportive of the public schools, generously contributing to auctions and prizes.  I'm not sure the chains do that.   [/quote]
