Parking lot 31A in Bethesda, MD on the corner of Bethesda Ave and Woodmont Ave is closed for the next 60 days or so for utility relocation. This is the really small parking lot, not the big one across the street. The closure is part [...]
This fountain is practically next to last week's one, however, architecturally they couldn't be more different. The other fountain in Bethesda Place Plaza is more of a large shallow pool. This is a more traditional fountain and has a raised stone 'roof' It is on [...] 
The definition of a fountain can be hard to pin down. Do you really need water spraying in the air? I don't think so. In the middle of Bethesda Place Plaza is a large shallow pool with rocks in it. On weekends you see kids jumping' [...] 
It is that time a year again, everyone dresses up and dances around the Christmas tree before going trick-or-treating.
Every now and then I walk by the construction on Woodmont Avenue between Hampden Lane and Elm Street in Bethesda, MD just to see how it is progressing. Sometimes they have some neat pieces of construction equipment, including this one, which I had never seen before. [...] 
A number of the office buildings in Bethesda, MD have fountains out front in a public plaza. This one is on the ever so uniquely named "East Lane" between Montgomery Lane and Hampden Lane. Behind the fountain is an abstract mural made with muted colors.
This fountain right at the top of the big escalator at Bethesda Metro Station and by the bus bays is arguably part of the last fountain I highlighted. This fountain is noisy, noisy enough to be heard even when there are idling buses around it. [...] This fountain right at the top of the big escalator at Bethesda Metro Station and by the bus bays is arguably part of the last fountain I highlighted.

Construction may begin as soon as the first quarter of 2010 on central Bethesda's new affordable housing project. The Edgemoor's 12 units of affordable housing on Hampden Lane near Arlington Road. Read more at DCMud. [...] 
Now that the Purple Line is going to be light rail for sure (unless they change their mind) I thought I would look in to it a bit more. I decided to go to San Jose, CA and take a look at their light rail. In [...] 
Five months ago they started updating part of Elm Street park, I wrote about it then. In mid June I wrote an update. It looked like they were on track to finish the park in July. I even found this Gazette article. What [...] 
All morning Pepco has been doing some utility work on Northbound Wisconsin Avenue (MD-355) between Montgomery Avenue and East-West Highway. They have closed the two right lanes, only a single lane gets through on the left.There is a free outdoor film festival August 14th through the 21st (2009) on the grounds of Strathmoor and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (by Grosvenor Metro) The movies start at 8:15 but you can go as early as 6:30 and start eating.
Here's the lineup:
The slightly-old fashioned sign at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad on Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, MD has been replaced. The old one was one of those signs with the clip on black and red letters. The new one is a large red LED message sign [...] 
This Thursday, August 6th is the last evening concert in the free summer concert series. If you haven't made it out to one yet this is your last chance (until next year I hope). This week it Touch Of Intrigue (Variety Soul, Motown) is playing.' [...] 
I noticed on Monday that they changed this traffic light at Arlington Road and Montgomery Lane by the library in Bethesda, MD. It used to be flashing red until the walk light came on, then it would go to solid red, now it is a standard [...] 
Bethesda, MD has a number of fountains and over the coming weeks I will post a series of pictures to show hopefully all of them. I'll start with what is probably the most well known of them, the one in front of the Borders books store' [...] 
Out front of Lionsgate Condominiums on the corner of Woodmont Avenue and Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, MD are two lion sculptures. Od manes, long tails and definitely male. [...] 
I was walking around Bethesda, MD today at lunch time and a huge bank of dark clouds started rolling in. Farther away you could still see blue sky. The clouds were threatening but didn't produce any rain.' [...] 
I have been meaning to go to Chicken on the Run for about 6 months but somehow never got around to it. Earlier this week I finally made it. They serve charcoal roasted peruvian chicken and a number of different sides. Service is very quick, [...] 
The parking garage with entrances on Woodmont Avenue and Old Georgetown Road (behind the Lionsgate condos) in Bethesda, MD will be partially closed from Friday June 26th through Tuesday June 30 for washdown and beam cleaning. [...] 
There is an inherent problem with putting everything in all caps and not having punctuation. I had to read this sign more than once to figure out what it really meant. I mean, if the "UNATTENDED PLAYGROUND CHILDREN" are "ACCOMPANIED BY PARENT" then they aren't really' [...] 
The six-car train derailed and then collided with another train between the Takoma Park and Fort Totten [...]
This tiny gray store at the corner of Old Georgetown Road and Greentree Road in Bethesda, MD has been around forever (Actually "only" since 1924). For some reason, when I was a kid it was called "Browns" although I never knew why (was the owner named [...] 
On Saturday from 11am to 4pm is Imagination Bethesda, a children's street festival. It will be on Woodmont Avenue between Bethesda Avenue and Elm Street. There will be live entertainment, hands-on activities, face painting, balloons, and more.' [...] 
I saw this tree with some really odd fruits on it. A lot were green but they were turning red as they ripen. Some however, were oddly spikey with only the tips of the spikes turning redish. I'm guessing they are infected with something and aren;t' [...] 
Back in January I made a couple of posts about the bank on Cordell Ave that was demolished (see "Bank Demolition" and "A bare lot"). Well, here it is the end of May and you can see the new building starting to take shape [...] 
I was walking down Woodmont Avenue near Battery Lane in Bethesda and saw this. "Coming Very Soon, Woodmont Market" They were working on it today and the shelves and coolers are there already. It is a really small place so I don't quite know what to' [...] 
The land under the McDonalds at 4500 East-West Highway in Bethesda, MD is going to be replaced with 223,300 square feet of new office and retail development. There will be ground floor retail, a public plaza, and a bike path to the Georgetown Branch Trail. [...]
