[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, we also purchased locally grown radishes, and kale. Many farmers here , and in places like Amish country, use hoop houses.

It's almost like people who want to pave over everything don't understand so much about history or where their food comes from.

I also know of a number of blighted shopping centers in eastern MoCo, one right by Glenmont metro, that could be redeveloped into successful townhouse / condo / retail developments of there was any desire on the part of the owners. [/quote]

The Glenmont shopping center is actually doing very well. It just looks rundown. But yes, if the owners wanted to redevelop it, they could.[/quote]

I live down the street. There is a huge parking lot that is never even 1/4 full, and only a handful of decent small businesses. We go to the really good Korean barber shop and that's it. Lots and lots of parking lot available for redevelopment. [/quote]

The rent paid to the owners is evidently fine, thus no redevelopment. Yes, the parking lot is ridiculously large, but most parking lots in Montgomery County are. For that matter, the parking garages at Glenmont Metro are also ridiculously large.[/quote]
