My Blairs ‘Wish List’ Now in Color

By Silver Springer • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: Business and Economic Development, Real Estate, Silver Springer

Retail, Hotel and Market Commons
Total amount of retail would range between 200,000 and 250,000 square feet with up to three anchors. The current retail center including the Giant would be replaced because of the inefficient use of space. Retail would be at the ground floor of high-rises flanking East-West Highway with [...]



Are we in Maryland yet?

By Silver Springer • Apr 14th, 2008 • Category: Silver Springer

That’s what I’m sure out of staters are thinking when they cross the Maryland/D.C. line into Silver Spring. The fact is that they can’t tell and who can blame them? To the untrained eye they’re still in some neighborhood in D.C. And why would one be so confused you ask? Well for one there are [...]



Ready or not…

By Silver Springer • Jan 28th, 2008 • Category: Silver Springer

Did ya miss me?!?!?! It’s back to business after a month long hiatus. Sorry to disappoint those who were hoping I had disappeared off the face of Silver Spring but I still have some issues that I need to bitch about.
Doesn’t look like I’ve missed much though, the only highlight is Montgomery County and [...]

Timez Out

I would like everyone to take a moment of silence for another Silver Spring staple that has recently left us for good.



My Blairs Wish List

By Silver Springer • Jul 12th, 2007 • Category: Real Estate, Silver Springer

Above lies a conceptual site plan of what was suppose to be a future expansion of the sprawling Blairs complex. The blue buildings highlight planned construction while the orange is existing. Now that the site is up for sale by the current owner, Tower Companies, the opportunity presents itself for a formidable developer with the [...]

Oh say can YOU see?

Close to100 gathered at Silver Plaza in pursuit of their First Amendment rights. It was no coincident that the protest took place, today on America’s Independence Day, 4th of July.
News Channel 8, WAMU and Dan from “Just Up the Pike“ took notes of the protest while picking the brain of Jamie Raskin, state senator representing Silver [...]



Silver Spring: Where the stars are born?

By Silver Springer • Jul 3rd, 2007 • Category: Arts, Food and Entertainment, Silver Springer

Or at least raised? Just from personal knowledge and looking at the Wikipedia page about Silver Spring (in the historical section), is it safe to say that Silver Spring has the highest concentration of famous people in the D.C. area?
I wonder how it stacks up against larger more popular areas. People like David Chappelle, Rachel [...]



Peterson’s Fortress

By Silver Springer • Jun 25th, 2007 • Category: Silver Springer

I think this issue deserves ongoing attention. I’m still mystified by the fact that Peterson Companies (which I guess includes Foulger Pratt and Argo Investment since they have a share in the project) are actually keeping people from taking pictures.
As posted on the Silver Spring Singular, Peterson Cos argues that they don’t want bad [...]
