Dear bmsinmd: Following your rationalizations, how do you explain the fact that the "stripped-down" Gaithersburg Costco (no gas station) is still packed with people every day? Why are all those Costco members NOT driving to the Frederick Costco for gas instead? I am sure Patch readers would love to hear your explanation.

ReplyEach day of hearings will cost the community thousands in legal & expert fees, expenses, etc. In our fourth year of fighting this boondoggle, I wonder how much this project is costing the County.

Dear bmsinmd: If you think that gas stations are "as benign and passive a source of commerce as you can find," you should check out the WARNING stickers on every gas station in Maryland (a photo is uploaded above for your convenience) that clearly states: "Chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm are found in gasoline, crude oil, and many other petroleum products and their vapors, or result from their use."

Dear The Big Egg, to address your points in order of appearance:
1. "Webmaster" was certainly not the best nome de plume to pick, but this post was clearly published in the Local Voices section of Patch, so your verdict of "misleading" is a stretch.
2. If you are not aware of the health risk, check out www.stopcostcogas.org for more information or, better yet, check out images and graphics uploaded above.
If you think the opposition is not fighting fair, what is your assessment of the County's and Costco's tactics? -

Janet: you are right - one can purchase gas and not shop at Costco, but you are forgetting that Costco gas is sold to members only - certainly a much higher threshold than purchasing some bagels at Giant. Wouldn't you agree?

Dear Homewood resident:
Our photos are misleading? How so?
Also, Patch readers are still waiting for your photos to back up your claims of Costco/Westfield landscaping in the buffer. -

Dear Strauchan, where are you getting your numbers about 150 cars at peak on weekends? This is very interesting information which contradicts both Costco and the Stop Costco Gas Coalition estimates... I am sure Patch readers would love to hear your explanation. Thank you in advance.

Dear CJB,
If you have any doubts about what we are facing, just look at the images uploaded above. Pictures don't lie.
If you think the idea of 60 cars idling at once is ridiculous, then so is the whole Costco plan, because we are using their numbers! Check out more details at www.stopcostcogas.org -

Dear TaL, Have you ever seen 75 vehicles idling in queue at FreeState, spilling out onto the highway and bringing Viers Mill to a grinding halt twice a day? It would be great if you could provide us with some photographic evidence. Until then, please don't compare FreeState to Costco Mega Gas. If you are not familiar with Costco gas operations, please check out the images uploaded above.

Dear Corbetto, Esther is only responsible for the first photo. I was the one to upload the rest of the photos/images. Just curious - what exactly did you find so "decidedly one-sided" about them?
