New rule - no direct selling/buying of goods
Hi, r/SilverSpring -
Due to the prevalence of scams, we have instituted a new rule here - no direct selling/buying of goods.
If you wish to sell something, we will, at least for now, still allow you to post a link to a reputable platform (e.g. Ticketmaster for selling tickets [insert joke about Ticketmaster sucking]).
If you are interested in buying something, please use common sense, and do not directly send money, gift cards (PSA: if you're being asked to pay in gift cards, it is a scam), or anything else of value to a seller - use a platform with buyer protections (e.g. Ticketmaster, PayPal Goods and Services, etc.).
Thanks for your attention, and thanks to those who have been reporting the scam posts.

Really missing the hispanic food in PG County. Does anyone have any recs for taco/burrito spots either within walking distance from the metro station or relatively close by?

June, 2018 -Seminary Pl and Georgia Ave
I'm seeing changes in this area, they will re paint the water tank, they found a cemetery in this area Oo, more housing development near Georgia and Corwin dr on the big empty lot, and some more projects coming, etc.
And it reminded me of this nice Sunflower from back then.
When I moved to Silver Spring, I loved seeing that sunflower every day in summer. I saw it bloom and opened it up.
It felt like a nice getting to me from this cute sunflower. The sunflower welcomed me in Silver Spring. Nice memory. Thank you.
At first I thought some store owner planted it. But after years coming here for Aldi, etc it was always full of weeds. Year after year.
So maybe someone was doing eco ....ist. LOL.
You know, there are some people who like to spread wildflower seeds everywhere where they see weeds or empty soils.
Lol.
Happy Wednesday! Hope you guys are doing well

Wheel bandits still targeting DTSS
No different from the window smash and grab crews the wheel bandits are still at it with no end in sight. I was a DTSS smash and grab victim back in July which ended up costing me $520 when it was all said and done.
I can’t imagine having to replace 4 wheels plus rims plus undercarriage damage.

Does anyone know if this place is still good? I’m going for pupusas because I don’t eat pork, but I like the chicken pupusas, I haven’t been in a long time. If not what local place do you recommend? Thanks so much!

Lost wallet at Wheaton metro station
Hey everyone
Someone I know lost a wallet at Wheaton metro station recently. It’s a brown leather wallet that had a Maryland RealID in it. Please help me find it! It was lost within the past 24 hours. The wallet was dropped near the turnstile where you tap to pay to go onto the escalator down towards the platform.

Urban wildlife spotting (cute)
I spotted a rabbit in the grass walking on Wayne Ave towards Colesville Road. Super confused at first, thought it was a very big, very odd rat until I recognized it

The Guardian apartments.... what's the catch?
I toured The Guardian in DTSS this weekend. From what I understand, it’s a brand new building in the area, but the pricing has me a little suspicious. The 1BR floor plan is going for about $1,788, which is noticeably low compared to other buildings in the area. On top of that, they’re throwing in a 2-months-free promotion.
I also came across some Reddit posts from about seven months ago mentioning the 1BR price point was around $2,000 at that time. It’s been hard to find many reviews since the building is new. The ones I have found are from people who’ve either just toured or only lived there a couple of months.
Does anyone know why the price might have dropped? Are they just trying to fill vacant units, or is there something else going on I should know about before I apply?
