[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things that do not happen when shopping at the McLean Total Wine, but happen near the Friendship Heights Total Wine.

[quote]A Montgomery County jury found 21-year-old Roniyah Thomas of District Heights guilty on all counts, including attempted armed carjacking, first-degree assault, armed robbery, and use of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime.

The charges stem from a February 4, 2025 incident in Chevy Chase, where Thomas approached a man exiting his vehicle, pointed a gun, and demanded his car keys. The victim resisted, pushing the weapon away, at which point Thomas fired, striking him in the leg before fleeing. Investigators later used surveillance footage from the Friendship Heights Metro Station, where a suspect was seen entering without a shoe and removing the other, to identify Thomas and link her to the attempted carjacking.[/quote]

I see stories about carjackings in Friendship Heights, Bethesda, and Chevy Chase on at least a monthly basis. No one has ever worried about being carjacked at the McLean Total Wine since it was built. I could walk around with a Moncler jacket, LV purse, waving around $1,000 in hundred dollar bills at 10 at night and nothing would happen. A few minutes more of a drive is worth my piece of mind.

That’s complete bullshit.  I get you are afraid of your own shadow.  Again…if things are that bad, wouldn’t you move to McLean?[/quote]

Because I am a poor who can’t afford a $1.5 million tear down or a $3.5 million new build. I like the good schools that MoCo has to offer and the nice parks, but besides that VA has a lot more to offer. I choose to avail myself of the nicer retail, dining and entertainment options in Virginia but keep my low mortgage and low cost neighborhood in MD. Compromises.[/quote]

This is fair.  Makes sense.  I don't see this pressing need to go to a mall often anyway, and Tysons isn't unreasonably inaccessible to where housing prices are cheaper and you get whatever daily amenities you need without having to pay higher prices to live near Tysons, Mosaic or whatever.
