[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the same question as the OP.

I live about 1-2 miles away from CityRidge (in Bethesda).  I like the new Wegmann's, although it's kind of odd how the parking works.  I recently went there to pick up a graduation cake, and was charged $6 to park, even though I was only in the store for 10 minutes.  (I guess it was my bad for rushing and not doing the parking validation.) But I digress . . .

Anyway, I figure that they developer must have done a lot of market research before embarking on this development.  If I were in the market for a condo/rental, I would personally live in downtown Bethesda, which has a lot of amenities.  But I can see the appeal of CityRidge.  It is definitely in a nice neighborhood, and maybe people have a reason for wanting that particular location, even though it's located in a residential neighborhood of detached houses (and therefore not a ton within walking distance).  Tenleytown is OK, but does not have as much to offer as downtown Bethesda, which is just 2 Metro stops up the Red line.[/quote]

You are complaining about the cost of parking when you were too lazy to validate?  [b]What is wrong with you? [/b] Is everything always everyone else's fault?[/quote]

PP here.  Your reaction may be a bit out of proportion to my comment.  I was just pointing out that, for a grocery store (which is a place that people visit at least weekly), it's nice to have relatively hassle-free parking.  Of course, Wegman's can do whatever it wants to do.  (Per a friend of mine in Virginia, Wegman's removed some paid parking when the wealthy retirees in the high-rise condos nearby complained about being charged a parking fee to park to go to a grocery store.  It's different if you're parking at a mall, restaurant, office, airport, etc.  Then, I think people don't mind paying to park.  I'll probably continue to go to that Wegman's, as it's a nice store.[/quote]
