More "coming soon" signage has been posted in the windows of the future West Elm storefront on Rose Avenue at Pike & Rose. The modern furniture and decor retailer is expected to open this fall in the Pinstripes building. As you can see, they are now hiring, as well.
Interestingly, on a recent weekend night (not the same evening these photos were taken), the crowd at Pike & Rose exceeded the number of people out around Bethesda Row in downtown Bethesda. The loss of the Regal Cinemas Bethesda 10 and Barnes & Noble have been truly devastating, just as I warned the Montgomery County Council and Planning Board, both of which declined to require a replacement cineplex despite having the authority and responsibility to do so.
"both of which declined to require a replacement cineplex despite having the authority and responsibility to do so."
ReplyDeleteMaybe because you're a dumb Communist and they aren't. If Regal wants to open a new theater in downtown Bethesda then they will.
If more people want to go to Pike & Rose (or downtown Silver Spring, RTS, Downtown Crown, or RIO) than Bethesda Row then who cares. It's called the free market; it's not 1992 anymore and the county now has far more to offer residents than just downtown Bethesda and Rockville Pike. Quit being such a weirdo.
good news!
