Nail Polish Breaks Bad, "Suburban" Safeway Sense

1.) WEATHER » Didn’t think the weather could get better after yesterday’s sunshine, cool breeze and pleasant temperatures? Think again. Today will be beautiful. The skies will be mostly sunny and daytime temperatures will hit the high-70s. With no chance of rain and low humidity, the weather is perfect for all outdoor activities. The evening will be cool with lows in the low-60s. Prepare for the week ahead with the Accuweather forecast.

4.) YOU SAID IT » "We are not saying please don't build a Safeway. I think MV&A did a fine job in the drawings and the building looks of decent quality (it could be improved but it is a fine first effort). What we are saying is 'don't waste opportunities for the sake of developing or to make up for the incompetence of other developers.' If there wasn't a grocery store in the area this might be a different argument but there is. The question before HY now is whether it makes sense to put 120k sq ft of grocery stores in the same block 1/2 mile from the 3rd busiest intersection in MD. The developer's attorney is posturing for TOD money for an individual development that has little to do with true smart growth or TOD. The criticism is coming not as some zero-sum analysis of Cafritz/Whole Foods vs. this project but due to wanting MORE development on this site. I.e. we are criticizing because we think competition is a good thing not bad." - Riverdale Park Council Member Jonathan Ebbeler on Safeway's "suburban" design for UTC.
