Apparently, we are offsetting the cost of the new building by performing low-key celebrity weddings in the parking lot. You hear that, Brangelina? No one would suspect that you'd get married at a Rockville construction site! Plus, every fifth couple gets--FREE!-- a small pile of gravel!
And it closed after a year. There us also a deserted yogurt shop a block away. Which genius thought the the key to success in this space would be *another* ice cream store?
This small pile of gravel appeared. Not sure what such a small pile gets them, in terms of actual construction. I'm sure, given the right spell and enough chanting, that this can be sculpted into...something. :)
So, after closing the parking lot on 5/30 so that construction on our sister building could begin, the construction trailer actually showed up...um...today. So far I've seen many people busily drinking smoothies and looking like they enjoy that aspect of the construction business. I predict that construction will see no further delays!
