WALKING THE STREETS OF PIKE & ROSE, PART II (PHOTOS)

Let's take another walk around the new streets of Pike & Rose to see what new details have been added to the development:
These doors...speak French

There's dancing going on
behind this door, I'm sure

Sport & Health, the upscale
gym where early PerSei
residents were getting
vouchers

What's the name of the pizza
place opening here again?

Something that will be
disappearing in the coming
years in White Flint:
surface parking
This is another cool Easter Egg to
find - a bookshelf with titles such
as "The Pike," "The White Flint,"
"Pike & Rose," and "Montgomery"

Something like this would be
another great idea for any
new development in the
Westbard area, where there
are many historic names
that could be referenced

Del Frisco's Grille

Del Frisco's will be at
the corner of Old Georgetown
and Grand Park Avenue

Streetlamps along Old Georgetown
Another Easter Egg:
A throwback
water fountain
for thirsty visitors

Can you find the Easter Egg here?

That's right - this plaque with
the quote, "Music in the soul
can be heard by the
universe"

The future Gap store (L) and
iPic Theaters cineplex (R)

I'm temporarily calling this,
"The Boardwalk"
Not that far from The Forum,
for you Roman history buffs

PerSei apartments

Cool truck

Flag poles

Fun! Can't wait for the finished property!

Pretty impressive for an area being built from scratch.

Is the boardwalk temporary, or is there actually a planned boardwalk area?

Why does Bob hate Pike and Rose and the Silver Line?

Bob is short for Robert.

From this post if sure seems Bob in fact likes Pike & Rose. Does anyone not?

And where does the silver line comment come from? Completely unrelated to this topic...

When this area loses its last surface parking spot, I'm outta here.

Give me a well designed garage any day. So much easier to park in the garage at Safeway on Arlington and go right up into the store rather than navigating a vast surface lot.

At Target, I can park on the 3rd level and access the store directly.

Gee, 9:24, I made a mistake. I meant to say that when this area loses its last nice person, I'm outta here. That's a race you obviously lost a long time ago.Read between the lines: The more garages means more people and cars. No, this corridor was not made for gazillions more of both. If it was more like NYC, where I come from, and more people walked or took buses, it may stand a chance. But it ain't gonna happen here. Uh uh. Too much car worship, and it will always be designed that way no matter what they feed us.

Great new neighborhood! Nothing like rePIKEalization coming to fruition.
