An apparent accident involving a snow plow and power lines on Monday has meant a powerless Mia’s Pizza for the past two days.
A downed light pole remains on the front patio space of the popular pizzeria at 4926 Cordell Ave. A ripped up wire also remains and there is noticeable damage to the awning of next door Mexican restaurant Gringos & Mariachis.
A little before 7 p.m. on Monday, the power went out for about 700 Pepco customers in Woodmont Triangle and East Bethesda. Some on Cordell Avenue heard a loud sound before the outage:
Snow plow totally just hit a power line. Power's out in @BethesdaNow, but thankful for our generator.

Power was out to a number of businesses in Woodmont Triangle until about 9 p.m., according to Pepco’s outage map.
Mia’s wasn’t so lucky.
A sign on the restaurant’s front door said it’s hoping to open no later than Thursday.
