There is a rumor that these land rapists are going to build this crap in Wheaton on Georgia Avenue.

Two months off makes the effective rate a bit more typical with what's around here...but I'd bet when those one year leases are up, many will be out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-24496950985718224162009-04-09T07:32:00.000-04:002009-04-09T07:32:00.000-04:00It's a shame that the Portico building that wa...It's a shame that the Portico building that was actually built looks nothing like the rendering in your post. Virtually evey bit of architectural interest was removed (including balconies). What is there looks like a big ugly cinderblock box. How can MoCo allow the developer to cut everything out from his original plans? Also, the image you link to as "MidTown Silver Spring" is not correct. The building you show actually exists and it's an office building at the corner of Wayne Ave & GA ave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
