By the way, I actually asked the admission director why they changed it to "North Bethesda" instead of drawing my own conclusions based on speculation and negativity. She told me it was so people from Northwest DC and Bethesda, two primary markets, didn't think the school was near downtown Rockville. I prefer "Rockville" but at least her explanation makes sense.

Why would being near downtown Rockville be bad?[/quote]
Because it sounds far and inconvenient if you live in DC or Bethesda?[/quote]

No dog in this fight and not associated with Green Acres....but you all make it sound like Green Acres created (or made up) the North Bethesda label.  They didn't - they are located in Bethesda - NOT Rockville.  Rockville is an incorporated city and the city limits do not start until North of Montrose Road.  [b]Just south of Montrose are Bethesda and Kensington[/b] - just not what most people think of when they hear Bethesda and Kensington.  I grew up in this area and Rockville has always had its southern border at Montrose.  I currently live in Bethesda (inside the Beltway near NIH) and sometimes even our address gets populated with a North Bethesda label. [/quote]

Just south of Montrose is North Bethesda. Which is not Bethesda, any more than North Potomac is Potomac.

I suppose someday if North Bethesda and North Potomac become the prosperous places to be, we'll start talking about Bethesda/South Bethesda and Potomac/South Potomac?[/quote]
