[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with this strip is that surrounding residents in CCDC - - at least the ones who have time and inclination to make their voices heard - - resist ANY change.  The CC listserve periodically gets questions like OP's, which are SHOT DOWN immediately by residents with various fearmongering about change.  There have been wars on the listserve about Pumpernickels when someone complained about it.  Similarly, when anyone suggests the need for traffic lights at Chevy Chase Circle (numerous collisions a week, some quite serious), the knives come out.  Also the empty bus depot - thou shall not be named!!!  Once someone suggested making it into a fun coffee shop/cafe and there was a collective spaz in response, including a suggestion instead to turn it into a museum of Chevy Chase (SNORE).   People will even DEFEND the status of the Safeway, though I confess I can't even follow that logic.

Yes, the Diner sucks, Blue 44 is mediocre, Macon is uneven and Bread & Chocolate is tired and not great.  But don't expect change any time soon.  We were lucky enough to get Jetties. [/quote]

My favorite was the uproar over demolishing the little, 1950s, vinyl-sided cape house on Livingston, claiming it was an architectural treasure.

Sometimes I just want to lead an uprising against MR and that listserv!
