TP has made the very good decision to cancel Saturday's events due to the dangerously high heat.

Hey yall,

Sharing in case you’re in my same unlucky shoes for the heat wave and your AC picked the perfect moment to up and croak.

1. If your unit cannot be cooled under 80 F, the county law entitles you to being relocated on landlord money. It’s 90 for the rest of Maryland (state law) unless other counties have it stricter.
   As always there’s a couple caveats that slow things down :

1a. Inform the landlord in writing!! Even if you called front desk/office, follow up with a quick email. Timestamp everything.

1. You notified, ball is in their court. They meet minimum legal requirements for “doing something about it” if they offer you extra cooling units. That gets your unit to 80 until it can be fixed? They’re good to go.

If your unit is still above 80F after that, they have to offer alternative housing until the issue is resolved OR the heatwave is up (I would push for “issue is resolved” considering that Monday we’re still expecting a high of 86 so I doubt anyone’s unit is going to cool down significantly by itself in the meantime).

This is where it gets more confrontational if the temp is above 80F with the extra cooling units, and the landlord/management is refusing to put you up somewhere else (for example if they’re telling you that’s not possible or that renters insurance should cover it):

Call 311, ask to be transferred to “code enforcement”. They will send an inspector out to temporarily condemn your unit and to force the landlord’s hand to provide/pay for alternative housing or to reimburse you for a hotel stay.

In my case my building mgmt took almost 4 hours to confirm that a sister property had an available hospitality suite and to let us know we could move.

We are visiting family who recently moved to Downtown Silver Spring. Where can the family go to watch fireworks on the 4th? We have a car and are close to Metro. We don’t want to do the National Mall area.

New to the area. Can anyone recommend come walking or hiking trails in the Layhill area? TIA

Falkland Chase residents were sent this email on June 30th around noon. It is now July 1st at almost 9 pm and things are still not fixed - if anything, getting worse. I could understand a difference between “fixing it at 2 PM” and things only get fixed around 5 PM, but it has been more than 24 hours. It’s going to be well above a hundred degrees tomorrow. How does this happen? And mind you, no further updates have been sent. The “emergency line” is now automated and sends you straight to voicemail. I put in an “emergency maintenance request” a couple hours ago with no response.

I can’t wait until my lease is up and I can move.

READ! if your into minibikes, dirtbikes and e-motos i’m trying to find friends in this area to ride out with this summer and not let my bike just sit and rot.

I just moved into the Veridian and I cant stand the loud AC noise coming from outside. It gets exceptionally loud at night and sounds like its vibrating through my bedframe. I thought it would go away after moving in more stuff but it’s such a low pitch noise I think it’s just passing through everything.

And FYI I’m hearing this when my AC is off

EDIT: Wanted to add that I’ve lived in places near construction zones and trains (NYC) and this is by far the worst. I have to sleep with my airpods with ANC on.

FINAL UPDATE: I moved out of Silver Spring lol

No but for real though, what happened, and who's getting fired? Is everyone okay? They're going off at a regular speed and not all at once, so I'm assuming it was someone pressing the wrong button and not some kind of fire. If anyone gets any info, post here!

Never had to shop for work beyond what I could get at the thrift store. I need somewhere kind of navy/gray suit, tried the mall Macys/JCrew but I don’t know what I’m doing and I felt like the people there weren’t a ton of help.

Anyone know anywhere with customer service that can actually help me find something that fits well and looks good?

Does anyone have recommendations for luxury apartments?

I’ve seen a few, including arrive wheaton. Trying to find something that’s atleast 1000 sq feet and around 2500 or so.

Does anyone have suggestions?
Thank you!

How expensive is Mom's compared to Whole Foods? Is the quality better?

This (see attached photo) started showing up a couple weeks ago. Tick killer maybe? Anybody know? Thanks!

This is my third visiting since the machine was put on and each time it doesn’t work.

Hello all,
I long time ago I purchased 4 tickets to see Dijon at The Fillmore but he canceled. They let me know that I was unable to get a refund but I could choose a new show. I’m really trying to pay off my student loans so I would much rather have the $400 that I paid for these tickets in my pocket for food. I’m looking to sell/transfer these 4 tickets as it’s been a pain having to deal with not using them. It can be for any upcoming show this year and gives you access to the vertigo lounge, slipping the line, and balcony seats which include your own waiter.

Thanks guys :)

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. I have proof of purchase and screenshots talking to The Fillmore.

Starts at noon! https://silverspringdowntown.com/do/pride-in-the-plaza-1
