[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it would be great if they tore down Mazza and turned the whole footprint - mall + parking lot and maybe the L&T site too into a smaller scale (height wise) development that’s a mix of housing and retail. Maybe have a pedestrian mall (not on Wisc ave but between Wisc and the road where L&T is) so it’s a more of a village type area and attract stores that nearby residents need.[/quote]

I am not sure why we have to tear either down. We are supposed to be recycling more of our construction materials, not simply starting over. The buildings are unique. Your idea is workable though, build the Friendship heights row by somehow using the massive parking lots adjacent to Mazza and Lord and Taylor. Give a nice walking row with restaurants and shops and a courtyard for Christmas markets and such. Oh and during the renovation, let AMC finally build their stadium seating and food and beverage idea out. All in all we end up with a few hundred more housing units (three and four bedroom, not the awful studio and one bedroom that developers have the density bros fooled with.)

I want to walk or drive or metro to the new destination and then be able to spend the afternoon or evening shopping and walking/eating etc.[/quote]
