| DDOT Studies & Closing part of 395? | "If you don't like NY Ave. traffic you shouldn't have moved there." I'm glad that the residents, who helped shut down that video store, did not have that attitude. People should always feel like they can advocate change for the better.

| DDOT Studies & Closing part of 395? | Through your front yard on your dime? I'm pretty sure the tunnel was there when you moved in. This is kind of like those people in G-Town who want to close the Whitehurst freeway. Some of us DC residents do like to drive and use the 3rd street tunnel every day. If you don't like NY Ave. traffic you shouldn't have moved there.

| Mt. Lebanon Announce Ribbon-Cutting For New Training/Community Center | Unfortunately, the Church doesn't own that hole in the ground ... last I had heard was that it was up for auction by a bank in Ohio but nothing has been done or said since the auction supposedly took place. Right now, it's still a dumping ground. I'd gladly rather see it as a parking lot than the mini-Fort Totten it has become. Posted By: Rob A / At 8/26/08 6:59 AM |

| Work Begins on Chevy Chase Bank at City Vista | I second the post on Jamba Juice. How could Whole Foods do that to us??? We also tried to get info. on them opening in other locations in the city and were told that they had plans to open some independent locations, but that was a couple of years ago, and still nothing. Smoothie King is the worst, but Robek's isn't that bad, even though it's no Jamba.

| Productive Realtor in our Hood? | Boris is excellent. He helped us find a house on 1st Street last year. He is reliable, honest, and professional. He still keeps in touch with newsletters and such on home remodeling, safety, environment stuff. He's more than just the average Realtor. No doubt we will use him again.

| Productive Realtor in our Hood? | I sold my house at 448 N St about a year ago and I used Boris Miric. He was very helpful, especially since I was out of the country at the time the house was on the market. He took care of everything for me and I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a hard working, dependable Realtor.

| Work Begins on Chevy Chase Bank at City Vista | It WAS supposed to be a SunTrust. According to the City Vista sales office, a few months ago Sun Trust backed out, and Chevy Chase gladly took the space already allotted for a bank. There will not be a Sun Trust in the City Vista complex.

| Work Begins on Chevy Chase Bank at City Vista | For the past 8 months, I have been trying to get a Jamba Juice in the convention center retail slots or somewhere in this area. It seemed they were really close to getting something on paper at the convention center, but then it suddenly went sour. As you know, every single JJ has closed in this area because of Whole Foods and JJ's turbulent relationhip. I invite my neighbors to send an email to the real estate department of JJ (realestate *at* jambajuice *dot* com) or give them a ring at 1-877-735-2622. A JJ is better than yet another damn Starbucks or a Smoothie King that serves up fruit syrups and a lot of artificial stuff. If you've had JJ before, you know what I'm talking about. Also, I encourage you to ring up Safeway's Arizona call center and support the CityVista store being 24 hours. If not, then just be happy with that Giant with lines that resemble a 1980s Moscow bread line. Use this link (http://shop.safeway.com/corporate/safeway/shopping_contact_form.asp?cat=General Service) or use 1-877-723-3929. I'm tired of going to Virginia every single time to buy little things after midnight. And I don't know if you will believe this, but Harris Teeter is oftentimes more expensive than Whole Foods but doesn't even approach the quality of Whole Foods. As for the Giant, I don't even bother going there unless it's an extreme emergency. The route to walk there is full of trash and headaches (and flying bullets), the parking lot looks like The Meadowlands back in the 1990s, and the lines are just unacceptable. 24 hour Safeway!

| Productive Realtor in our Hood? | I recently bought my house on Ridge St. from Candace & Barbara through realtor Fred Bates: http://dcrealestate.com/agents.php?agent=2 And I wasn't even looking to buy house at the time! He contacted me cold and persuaded me that it was deal of the century - and I'm very happy with my new house. Fred impressed me with his persistence (without being annoying or overly aggressive).

| Work Begins on Chevy Chase Bank at City Vista | No, not Starbucks ... please change it to a Caribou instead.

| Work Begins on Chevy Chase Bank at City Vista | It is slated to be a SunTrust inside the Safeway. I recently saw a Safeway that is supposed to be identical to ours on the Eastern Shore. As you walk inside the front door, there is a SunTrust with two tellers on the back wall--open a lot of Saturday and half of Sunday--a Bergman's drop off and pickup and a small Starbucks counter.

| Work Begins on Chevy Chase Bank at City Vista | A Starbucks needs to replace Jack Evans campaign headquarters ASAP. I wish they'd get some blinds or something. They leave the place a trashy mess every single evening. I'd like to see a Coldstone go into the sales office space!!!!!!

| Work Begins on Chevy Chase Bank at City Vista | I'm happy that it’s a chevy chase. To the earlier post who said ..."We already have enough Chevy Chases in this city!" All the more to switch.

| Work Begins on Chevy Chase Bank at City Vista | Not sure where the Bergmann's will be located, but I think the Starbucks is really just a kiosk inside the Safeway -- you can see it near the entrance if you look through the glass.
