Speaking of moribundity and closures, there isn't much left at fye, also closing its doors at Wheaton Plaza. But if you're a fan of Dryden Vos from Soylo: A Star Wars Story, you can pick him up for only $1, misspelled last name on box front and all. Montgomery County has suffered a net loss of over 2100 retail jobs since 2000, according to a spokeswoman for the Maryland Retailers Association.
Also, f.y.e. has closed nearly two-thirds of its stores over the past decade. The Wheaton Plaza store was one of the last in the region.

DeleteSo how does "moribund Montgomery County economy" compare to other counties and areas across the country? Doubt if you even looked . And can you give us some stats on what makes it so moribund? Posting this kind of crap only exposes you as a fraud...
ReplyDelete12:33: LOL, I've not only "looked," but written extensively about data that shows we are dead last in the region for job creation, new business starts, etc. Even behind little counties like Culpeper and Rappahannock. Humiliating.
DeleteAnd that's not even looking at booming states like Texas.
And once again Dyer deletes all comments noting that Crazy 8 and Gymboree are closing ALL OF THEIR STORES NATIONWIDE, as it does not fit his narrative.
ReplyDeleteAnd oddly, he doesn't report on his Bethesda blog about the Gymboree that is about to close at Westfield Montgomery Mall.
