[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Gaithersburg (Kentlands). I would never live in Bethesda and no, it’s not jealousy. The downtown area is a glorified mall — not worth the price.

I do love the hatred my city gets. Pretty hilarious. You all think about us a lot more than we think about you. [/quote]

I feel that way about Kentlands, actually. (No, I don't live in Bethesda.) [/quote]

Have you been to Kentlands lately? And I don't mean the side with the Giant; I mean main street and market square. [/quote]

i live nearby and I am a huge fan of Rio and Kentlands.  I am also a person that loves to go down to DC and bethesda with the kids and for nights out with my wife.  That said, the new places they opened in the Kentlands have been HUGE disappointments minus the refurbished movie theater.  They had a chance to put in some neat places but instead added chains that are so meh.  Dog Haus is brutal.  MOD pizza is meh.  Haven't tried the mexican place yet.  Berries and Bowls?  Overpriced acai bowls.  I thought they laid a giant egg with these new additions when it could have been great.  I'm sure it will be nice and walkable in that area in the summer but color me unimpressed.[/quote]

I totally disagree. Dog Haus is delicious. I also love Berries and Bowls; we go all the time. I agree MOD Pizza is meh, but it's very popular, so whatever -- I'm happy the neighborhood has something people like.

We love Vasili's (especially the new-ish version they made after they moved from Main Street). I'm excited for the pulled noodle house that's coming. The Mexican place hasn't opened yet. I haven't tried Barrels and Brews, but it seems to be getting good reviews.

You should also head over to main street and try Sin and Grin. Their tacos are awesome. We also got a new meadery that I haven't tried yet. [/quote]

Vasilli's newish place is not good. Service has been spotty at best, uncooked salmon quite a few times. Totally miss their old Gyro's and pastas, new food not as good or consistent.

Sin & Grin I agree people should try. Tacos are great and service is good.

Mod pizza is meh, same with Dog Haus.

Kentlands has way too many spaces open. They should not have added on before filling some of the other spots.

Crown Farm has had  issues, gun shots recently were not a good sign of long term safety. Some not so nice people hanging out at odd times is also off putting.

Also, schools for Crown Farm until they build the HS it's Gaithersburg. Not sure why anyone would be there with kids unless doing private.

Also, the Pulte built homes in Crown are garbage. We looked at buying a condo or townhome to rent out and besides the sales man being so arrogant one wanted to throw up, the floors are not level, grout poorly done in bathrooms, tile not cut properly, shall I go on? These were not in the millions, but over $600,000 for poor construction no thanks.

Best thing about Crown Farm, Starbucks locaation best in the county! Coastal Flatts makes great salads and Spice Life Indian is quite good. Also, Asia Nine owners are lovely.

Crown has a bus to the metro which is very nice. And it's right at the entrance to 270.

Which are the Pulte homes?  The Copley Place building?

Agree on Kentlands - it's a mish mosh of places.  They're adding these new eateries where this new promenade is (which is great since historically this has been no-man's land) but it's still surrounded by random shops like a medical supply store and a random jewlery shop.  They could make that little strip into a pedestrian only street and make it REALLY walkable but instead, it's an even more crowded street to get through and find parking on.[/quote]

People need medical supplies and jewelry. Just because they're not useful to you doesn't mean they are "random." [/quote]
