    Some clarification is needed here. The Bloomingdale Civic Association did not vote to oppose the development of the Joe Mamo lot -- 1600 North Capitol Street NW. The BCA voted against the proposed exterior design of the building presented by the developer. Not SAD SAD SAD.

    Pretty sure Bloomingdale has been in support of developing that corner since before I moved here almost 20 years ago. What isn't supportable is a building that looks like it was airlifted in from Reston Town Center circa early 90s.

    Just because people have waiting that long for development, doesn't mean we should be satisfied by retail design that screams for a Blockbuster rental store.

    Joe Mamo is the cheapest bastard this side of Ebenezer Scrooge. If he has to recycle architecture, then at least hire whomever did the Homewood Suites project which belongs in this century.

    Also, if (when) he doesn't follow through on his commitment for delivering in June of this year, fine the h*ll out of him. He deserves that, plus a visit from the ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Future.
