You're right by the theatre there? Avalon? Orange is a decent place to go play pool. Closer to both of you guys is Union Jacks in Bethesda, pool hall. You've also got the Rock Bottom brewery, Willie and Reed's Sports Bar, and Caddie's. All in Bethesda. Plus there's Gary Clark's restaurant/lounge-South Beach. If you go down toward DC you're just a 10 minute drive from Cleveland Park. Nanny O' Brien's and 4 P's are a couple of good Irish Pubs there.

HA! Where did you live around here SS? I used to go to the 4 P's in high school! I'm living in the house I grew up in right now, so I know my away around here pretty well. I'm only in this location just for about a month while I finish my job training. My girlfriend and I move into our new place in Gaithersburg on July 27th. Anyway, Rock Bottom is good- I've been there a few times randomly on my visits since I moved away. Never heard of Union Jacks, Reed's, or Caddie's. Have to look into that. Thanks for the head's up though. And I live, no lie, a 2 minute walk from the Avalon.

I grew up in Potomac (after living in Silver Spring for a few years), went to college in Tenleytown, then moved to Bethesda for a few years before moving to CT. Union Jack's is right around the corner from Rock Bottom. It used to be The Shark Club. Caddie's is fun when the weather is nice because it's an outdoor place.

Are you going to be living near Old Towne Gaithersburg? If you do, you definitely gotta get a sandwich at Roy's

Yeah, I've been to bars in Bethesda since moving away. I've been to Tommy Joe's with my brother and his friends, but it's a little to college for me. Rock Bottom is good. I used to love going to Montgomery's Grill, but it's gone now. I know where Union Jack's is b/c I've been to Shark Club a few times. You grew up in Potomac... OH, you went to Churchill, right? I remember now. The other day I was trying to remember who from the Warpath went there. Not sure If I'm gonna be near Old Towne G'burg.

Have you been to this area lately? The strip of Wisconsin just north of Western Ave looks like friggin Rodeo Drive now. Armani, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Saks 5the Ave, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., Fendi, Gucci, some other shit I can't pronounce, ra ra ra ra ra. My girlfriend is psyched. I roll my eyes.

Not sure if you knew this SS and angry, but Sheriff Gonna Getcha and I went to grade school together, and he grew up just a few blocks from here too. We've known each other since like the 1st grade. I lost touch with him long ago, and we randomly discovered our identities by a fluke on this site. Crazy.

Went to Blessed Sacrament. It's a small catholic school just off the east side of Chevy Chase circle. Short walking distance from the Avalon, Magruder's, etc.

Oh yeah. I've seen it's massive turnaround. My g/f is anxious to go to Tiffany as well. I told her to find other dreams to reach for.

I watching some PBS special one time that said something like Friendship Heights has the second highest rent per square foot in the nation. Manhattan being #1.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. It's a prime location. Right next to the metro, near 495, right on the DC/MD line, easy access to all points in or around DC really. They actually just finished building a SICK condo building right across from the east side of the Chevy Chase Pavillion. I can't imagine what those go for. My g/f's eyes gleam when she thinks of that strip. My wallet tucks it's tail and runs.
