We have a place in Oceanview for past 14 years. Dramatic influx of NY and NJ people has changed the personality of the area. Going to look farther south for our retirement home.
MoCo demographics have changed drastically. There will be no changes until crime comes to Bethesda. By then i will have moved away and will enjoy from a far.
I purchased a sporting clay shotgun from United last year and got an excellent buy on it. It was a consignment gun and I made an offer that was accepted. Everything is negotiable in my experience. Plus the folks at United are excellent to deal with.
