[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wandered around after a dentist's appointment earlier this week.   Wow.   So now DSW and TJ Maxx (and all the Mazza Galleria stores) and the "Chevy Chase Design Center" (or whatever they called the store in the old Saks Jandel space across from Saks) are all empty too, plus the entire Chevy Chase Pavilion but for one lonely T-Mobile shop.   Ten years ago Friendship Hts was one of the biggest and liveliest shopping hubs in DC, and now it's just mostly Bloomingdales, a weird Saks (whose basement is like a warehouse), Brooks Bros, Tiffany, Marshall, and a handful of chain restaurants.  Oh yeah, and that weird big usually-empty Gap/BR.  And WF and Giant.   And a lot of empty stores.     All the empty storefronts are honestly a bit eerie - it's feels like there was a toxic gas or chemical leak and everything needed to be evacuated.   It might make sense if FH were in a declining area, but homes in the areas around FH are some of the most desirable (and fastest appreciating/selling) in the entire DMV.   Chalk it up to landlord greed, I guess.   I can't even imagine how angry I'd be if I paid some premium for a house to be within walking distance of the supposed amenities of Friendship Hts and within 2-3 years it turned into a ghost town.

The median age of people living in Chevy Chase is probably like 65. All they need is a CVS to get their adult diapers and they're good to go, right after they get done eating at La Ferme lol[/quote]

Wow. I really feel sorry for your family. [/quote]
