New annex planned for Bethesda office building

The owners of 4800 Hampden Lane are planning to turn a recently-demoed space in their office building into an "annex." Large plans for "The Annex at 4800 Hampden Lane" are displayed on the wall inside the space. The building is home to many traditional offices, as well as co-working spaces.

Amazing what you can learn when you peep into private property...

6:33: Amazing what you can see while standing on public property, old sport. Review the law before commenting.

Flashback: bethesdanow blogger trespasses into several Bethesda apartment buildings to paper every unit with an ad for his blog.

I learned absolutely nothing from this article.
And the multiple blurry photographs of a wall reveal absolutely nothing.

Why were the building owners not asked what their plans were for this "Annex"?

If I am not mistaken, you were standing on the privately owned pedestrian passage, not a public street. It appears that you placed your camera on the storefront and took unauthorized photos of a private place. I suppose you would think it would be OK to walk on the pedestian walkway behind the Flats and walk up to a ground level apartment with the blinds open and photograph the interior of their active living room with someone watching TV. Both seem to be a violation of private property and could be considered stalking or as I previously indicated, peeping. Yes perhaps a grey area, but I believe this is not respectful to a fellow citizen.

Now if the owner of 48 Hampdon Place invited you in, or you contacted the owner and asked if you could take a few photos of their space and write a nice story about their project, that would be different. But photographing the interior of a public place without permission, especially late at night, is not ethical. The same thing as photographing a person on the street and not getting a signed photo release before publishing.

I certainly enjoy your reportage of development, but I think you are crossing the line to do so without the owners permission.

I look forward to hearing your response.

I look forward to Hans Reamer being arrested again. Remember, Hans was arrested last week.

Lawless Council President presides over lawless county. Maybe Dyer can have a jailhouse interview with Hans next time Reamer is locked up. Can Hans solve our budget shortfall from behind bars?

What has a better chance, reimer getting arrested a 2nd time, or Robert actually solving a problem?
