[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Not sure what you are laughing at. You don’t seem to know anything about downtown Bethesda - which is not near River Road but rather Wisconsin Avenue. [/quote]

Actually, it sounds like PP might know more about Bethesda geography than you do.   Wisconsin Ave and downtown Bethesda are on Bethesda's eastern border.  And yes, a small percentage of Bethesda homes are within a few blocks of that and are indeed within walking distance of downtown Bethesda.   But the vast majority of Bethesda houses -- south of River Road and Mass Ave, west of Bradley Boulevard, behind Suburban Hospital or north of NIH, on the other side of the Beltway in Carderock or Westlake, aren't within walking distance of downtown Bethesda or any other "downtown" amenity (hey, let's stroll over to the McDonald's on River Road -- but don't get hit by a truck).  Which makes the claims by residents of those neighborhoods to value Bethesda's supposed 'walkability' to be a little ...  :roll:       [/quote]
Nobody who’s talking about how walkable Bethesda is talking about those areas. I agree that there’s little difference between areas out Bradley that are still in Bethesda and areas further out Bradley that are in Potomac. But when people are talking about Bethesda being walkable they’re talking about Wisconsin in donwtown Bethesda. I used to live on Rosedale and walked to work and almost everywhere else. We had one car. [/quote]
