[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether it’s going to Tysons, Total Wine, or to the movies I find myself going to Virginia way too often on the weekends. Sure it’s a 20 minute drive, but why go to Montgomery Mall or the AMC there when it is objectively a much nicer experience just over the bridge in Tysons? Why go to a grocery store that doesn’t sell wine, is understocked and stuck in the 80s like the Old Georgetown Rd Giant when I can be at the Tysons Wegman’s in 15-20 minutes and not have to go to a liquor store to buy Chardonnay.

Maryland politicians realize people in Maryland drive cars and that the richest people in Montgomery County live 10-20 minutes away from Tysons, right? [/quote]

This is comical, because right next to that Giant that is "stuck in the 80s" is a store that you can buy your Chardonnay in about a 20 second walk, but you'd rather drive 20 minutes to VA?

The point is that you shouldn’t have to go to another store to buy wine. It’s an anachronistic rule that makes no sense in a state that allows gambling and weed stores but doesn’t allow grocery stores to sell wine. If you lifted that rule the grocery stores would be nicer because wine and beer sales bring in a lot of revenue and they could use that money to fix up your aging grocery stores. Makes too much sense, I know.

Why is that Giant like that though? It’s next to million dollar homes. It is small, old, and had nothing in it.

Montgomery County could have nicer things, like the Westbard development. But your populace and your politicians seem insistent on curbing economic development at every turn. It’s no wonder you can’t even find the money to fix your pothole ridden roads or clean up the trash. [/quote]
