By Peter Rouleau @PeterSRouleau WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sev- eral area residents came to the streets of D.C. to voice opposition to “Unite the Right 2” march and rally on Sunday, whose attendance was far smaller than originally an- ticipated. Rocky Twyman, a Mont- gomery County resident and veteran of the civil rights movement in At- lanta, held a demonstration in front of the White House on Saturday with members of the Pray at the Pump movement, which he founded. He circulated a sympathy card to the family of Heather Heyer, the woman who was killed when violence broke out during a white su- premacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August of last year. “It just looks like we’re turning back the clock, to the kind of policies and attitudes we fought against in the civil rights movement,” Twyman said. “We want this president to come out and denounce this march tomorrow. It is not going to help anybody, it’s going to divide the country more...we want the reli- gious allies of Donald Trump, like Franklin Graham and Paula White- Cain, to come out and make a statement against this march. Don’t they realize that what these people are saying is completely against all Christian principles?” Several people, including foreign tourists, signed Twyman’s PHOTO BY MIKE CLARK sympathy card.

By Suzanne Pollak @SuzannePollak BETHESDA — Nine months after construction began in Bethes- da for a Purple Line Metro station and two towers for office and residential space, officials, including Gov. Larry Hogan (R) joined together Aug. 9 for a groundbreaking ceremony. The huge hole at the 7200 block of Wisconsin Avenue near its intersection with Elm Street marks the future spot of a new entrance to the Red Line; a Purple Line station; and 937,000 square feet of office, retail and residential space. The project also includes a tun- nel for the nearby popular Capital Crescent Trail. The development includes 360,000 square feet of office and retail space, two residential towers with 456 residential units and 750 parking spaces. When asked why the groundbreaking was held after work was well under way, Olive Carr, CEO of Carr Properties, the real estate investment trust backing the project, said it took “a lot of coordinat- ing to pull this together.” He said the timing for the groundbreaking coincided with last week’s signing of WTTG Fox 5, the office space’s first tenant. “Amazing things are happening on this corner,” Carr said, calling the development “an incredible partnership” between the state, Montgomery County and private companies. “It does take a village."
