[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Downtown Bethesda has terrible traffic and terrible parking.  The stores are all high end and chains.  So, nothing new or interesting.  And, the things that used to make it interesting at night are gone, namely families, young couples, teens, etc. used to go to the movies, Barnes & Noble, get ice cream, and hang out by the fountain.  All of that is missing and we stopped going long ago.[/quote]

Um, OK. I go all the time with my family, and there are tons of families there. Lots of family-friendly places to eat, great playground near the Giant, and a couple of gelato/ice cream places (the complaint about the lack of ice cream is odd). Not sure I understand the complaint about "high end chains" -- basically all of the restaurants are not chains. We actually prefer "old" Bethesda, though -- a bit less crowded and lots of interesting options there, including a new independent bookstore. Plus, it seems like there's some random festival or event every other weekend.

Seems like maybe you prefer chain stores given your fondness for Barnes & Noble and whatever chain ice cream store closed down. Maybe walk around and try some of the many independent places, such as the bookstore and ice cream places, that you apparently want.[/quote]
