[quote=Anonymous][quote]When I lived in East Bethesda, there were people trying to get it called West Chevy Chase.[/quote]

One of the legal subdivisions within East Bethesda, encompassing parts of Chase, Highland, Maple and West Virginia Avenues, is named "West Chevy Chase Heights" and has been since the homes were built 70-80 years ago. Other subdivisions there are called Westboro, Columbia Forest, Rosedale Park, etc. etc. But the community has been known as East Bethesda at least since my parents bought a house there in the 1960s. East Bethesda does not have its own tax since it's not incorporated as a city, town or village nor designated as a special taxing district. I think the PP referring to her "Bethesda taxes" was implying that she pays a lot of money in property taxes for being in such a high-priced area and "deserves" to be able to walk to a school with "Bethesda" in the name.

I'm curious as to how many kids in East Bethesda will be walking to Bethesda Elementary now that the boundaries have changed. It's a ridiculously long walk that involves crossing several major arteries. Will BE have 5th-grade safety patrols at the corner of Old Georgetown and Woodmont to help the 2nd-graders walk to school?[/quote]
