It's no secret that I love my neighborhood. I've lived in Silver Spring for more than two years, and I hope I'm not going anywhere any time soon. There's so much to do and see here, and we're only one Metro stop, a quick bus ride, less than a quarter-gallon of gas, or a five-minute walk from the DC line. Here are some things I think are worth looking at, eating/drinking in, or doing in the greater Silver Spring (and, yes, DC) area.
More coming soon...!
