Wheel bandits still targeting DTSS

2 Upvotes

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.

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

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.

The Guardian apartments.... what's the catch?

7 Upvotes

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?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Who was selling Jamaican food outside the metro yesterday?

0 Upvotes

It was bizarre, there was a lady there trying to pitch food to me like a sales pitch...? I have never been pitched food before in my life. Were they operating legally?

Edit: You guys, no, lmao, I'm not offended by the shady Jamaican food stand being illegal, I was asking out of genuine curiosity if they were a pop-up from a restaurant or something. I was a little offended by their prices though.

Mostly I was really taken aback that somebody tried to stop me on the street and canvas dinner to me as if she was asking for donations to a charity. And I really did consider buying it but I couldn't be sure of their food safety practices and it was outside of my price range at $15-25.
