Several Tenleytown NIMBYs are taking to the Web to indicate that they don’t want anyone moving near their Metro stop and don’t want any improvements made to their neighborhood.

“Tenleyites are fighting for something real and important,” one blog commenter said in a recent post about the development of a school in the neighborhood. “They have a community that is anchored and integrated by public institutions. They don’t want to be Friendship Heights, where commerce is king. More power to them!”

But not everyone is convinced that the progress would be such a bad thing: “Tenleytown NIMBYs annoy me,” another commenter said. “They need to wake up and realize they live along the major corridor between Georgetown and Bethesda…not in some sleepy suburban hamlet.”

Meanwhile, amidst the debate, there have long been rumors that an entire section of Tenleytown is secretly slated for demolition to make way for a Wal-Mart.
