Talk:Friendship Heights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've always wondered the derivation of the neighborhood's name. Anyone know? Quacks Like a Duck 06:23, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Howard Johnson's

In years gone by a major landmark of Friendship Heights was the Howard Johnson's restaurant: from my recollection, it was razed in the late 1970's. I think that would be a good (albeit bygone) landmark to mention (and provide a picture of) in the Friendship Heights article.

[edit] Rebalancing the page from a local resident's perspective

Have edited this page to reflect a local resident's perspective rather than the one that seems to have been generated by a marketing promoter of new business investment who does not live in the area. Eliminated some of the "exclusive", "affluent" adjectives which must have been directed at investors and provided some balance about the range of businesses in the area. Some seem to want to make FH a "Rodeo Drive wannabe" but in reality, we really don't have a Beverley Hills surrounding the area!

A similarly unbalanced and incorrect section about Friendship Heights was tacked onto the Chevy Chase DC page. Have eliminated that and instead redirected to this page.
