[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this talk about grocery stores is so funny. The Harris teeter looks exactly the same in North Bethesda, as in Park Potomac, as in Bethesda, as in N Arlington.

The only difference is Maryland doesn’t have a Ballston-Rosslyn corridor of urbanization. You step outside Ballston and N Arlington is exactly the same as North Bethesda or Silver Spring in terms of endless suburban sprawl, strip malls, and highways. Fairfax arguably has more highways than MoCo[/quote]

That’s because of the proximity to the DC line. Wisconsin Ave and CT Ave from Bethesda/CC into DC is that. Tenley, friendship, Bethesda is essentially that corridor. We just don’t have a river blocking the access to dc [/quote]

That’s part of the problem. Places like Cleveland Park and Tenleytown were nicer 10-20 years ago. Cleveland Park peaked when Dino and the Uptown Theater were still around. [/quote]

They are doing a massive overhaul of Friendship, I would imagine the corridor from Friendship to Tenley is next. It's too affluent of an area to have such blah.[/quote]

A lot of these places have been left behind for Shaw, The Wharf, Crystal City, Mosaic, Ballston, etc. There are some places that were nice 25 years ago and have only become moreso, like Old Town and Del Ray. Places like Upper NW, Bethesda, and Silver Spring haven’t kept pace. [/quote]
