CAR CRASH-RELATED HOLE IN BETHESDA GARAGE GETTING PATCHED (PHOTOS)

Somebody was listening last week, when I reported on the massive hole that remained in Montgomery County Parking Garage 40 (Cordell-St. Elmo Garage) after a car wreck four months ago. The wall is being patched up, and the space is blocked off in the meantime. A fresh coat of paint on the exterior and interior walls should leave Garage 40 looking as good as new.

CAR CRASH IN BETHESDA GARAGE LEAVES HOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE ON DOWNTOWN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

Remember when a car smashed into the wall of the Cordell-St. Elmo garage four months ago, leaving a massive hole in the structure's exterior wall? It's hard to forget, given that the hole remains there today. Here is a photo update, including a better picture of the view of downtown Bethesda provided by the gash in the garage facade.
