As promised Hook & Ladder Brewing Company has moved their headquarters from somewhere in Northern Silver Spring (Forest Glen area I believe) and into downtown.
There’s a little sign hanging above the entrance at 8113 Fenton Street. Peaking inside it looks like they’ve taken most of the ground floor.
As most of you know, Hook & Ladder [...]

So National Public Radio (NPR) says they aren’t coming to Silver Spring, big deal…I’m not sweating it because it really wasn’t about NPR in first place. Replace NPR with ‘X’ organization and you would have seen that logo on my homemade petition banner.

Let’s not forget that ten years ago any recognizable firm would have been [...]

For the past three years Silver Spring has led the primary submarkets in Montgomery County with the lowest office vacancy rate.

Ok so the rumors are true, the day has finally come, and our beloved Discovery is going public. What does this mean? I’m not sure.

The good news is that I’m prepared to buy up lots of company stock. Oh and Maryland will most likely have another Fortune 500 company on its list (“in the open”). I’ve been [...]

Follow Maryland Route 410/East-West Highway east from Silver Spring through Takoma Park and keep your eyes open for a pedestrian bridge. You can’t miss it, the grand bridge spans East -West highway and is a focal point of what is turning into the next central business district.

From west to east, Bethesda, Silver Spring and Hyattsville [...]

Dear County Executive Ike Leggett,
I have sat idle for the past several months as discussions unraveled
