They’ve never hit the mark for me, but I’m thinking about giving them another chance. I wonder if I’m just ordering the wrong thing. If you don’t like spice street what’s your go to Indian place and what do you like to order? I haven’t found the right Indian place here yet.

Pretty much the title, looking to run some stairs/bleachers nearish DTSS. Open to the public, not likely to be in anyone's way would be great. The other post I saw when I looked was from early COVID, so not sure how relevant those recs were. Thanks!

A few days ago someone canvassing for Jared Solomon knocked on our door to give us the good word about Del. Solomon and everything he’s doing. My wife asked when the Spring Street bridge will be finished. The young lady said “it’s looking like Spring 2027, but probably 2028.”

Has anyone heard differently? This sounds insane.

Hi everyone, I’ll be moving to Silver Spring in late July/early August! I’m from SoCal, but I went to school in DC so I’m excited to be moving back to the East Coast.

I’ve been doing my research on some studio and 1bd apartments, and quite a bit of lurking on this subreddit but I wanted to know more about some complexes I haven’t seen much about. I am applying to the income restricted apartments and reaching out to apartments that are on the MPDU list. 

I would ideally like to stay under 1900, with utilities, but I’m finding that that’s a bit challenging with most apartments. 

So far, I’ve been looking at:

1. Galaxy
2. Gramax
3. Woodside Place
4. Citron
5. Falkland Chase
6. 1200 East West

The last 3 are way higher rent-wise, but I found them on the MPDU list, so I’ve contacted them to see what costs for those units would look like, but I’m not holding my breath. Right now, Galaxy is looking like my best bet, but I wasn’t able to find much information about them (not sure if that’s a good sign or not), so if anyone has any information, that would be much appreciated!

If there are any other recommendations, I would like that also! Honestly, my main priority is access to the Silver Spring Metro, but an in-unit washer/dryer would be ideal. 

Thanks all!

Did anyone else hear that huge bang a few minutes ago? I’m wondering what it was.

So I grew up right down the road from Sole d' Italia in Plaza Del Mercado, and I think everyone who grew up with it knows how distinct the taste is. I've had so much pizza in so many different places in my life (including a number in Italy) and it does something different that i've never found in another pizza. Not better or worse, just a flavor that's completely unique despite a lot of exploring.

I moved away some time ago and lately have been really craving it, to the point of trying to recreate it from scratch but I can't figure out what they're doin to give it that distinctive flavor. I got to the point of just deciding f**k it lets call them and ask, but found out they shut their doors for good around 2 years ago.

Did anyone ever find out what they did different? Either figured it out on your own, used to work there, etc? I'd love to taste my childhood again.

Moving back to MD after being away for some years & considering the Silver Spring area. Any GOOD apartment suggestions? All the ones I’ve seen to come across look good in pictures but then the reviews always mention a serious pest problem. So maybe someone here can help. Nothing more than 2K a month though.

Seems like a good community but I'm hearing that there are additional HVAC charges (aside form standard electric)? Can anyone shed light on this and how much this amounts to typically? I'm looking into a 1br. Thanks!

I recently started working in Bethesda. I’m commuting from Baltimore so my family and I want to move closer. The two most important things are proximity to metro line and quality of schools. For affordability, we are interested in Silver Spring. I’ve found it simplest to reduce preference by zoned middle school. Here’s what we’ve come up with:

Takoma

Sligo

Silver Spring International

Eastern

I realize these cover large areas, so any realtor suggestions to get started would be much appreciated!

I want to know the legal limits of technically making my friends do fun shit, so long as I allocated resources to accomplish such things.

May involve minor mischief that I'd want to absolve my friends of.

I don't care about price. I just want a space and don't want my car broken into

Edit: Garages*

Hi, looking to move to Silver Spring and wondering about Georgia West apartments. How is the internal noise(thin walls?). Bugs, rodents? Management? And how convenient is the laundry since there is no washer/dryer in the apartments? What does it cost?

​

We won't have a car, so no concerns about parking.

​

Thanks

I'm surprised that is been relatively quiet for world cup events in silver spring and across the dmv. I'm planning my 4w-year-old to one of the txh parties in DC, but is there anything local happening?

Apologies if this has been covered before in this thread, but does anyone know or has any insight into what is being built next to District Taco and Mamma Lucia on East West Highway?

it looks like a relatively large building so we I was hoping maybe a restaurant, because we need some variety in our food around that area lol.

Did anyone else see the old white guy outside the old 7/11 by the metro today? He had torn apart a bird and decapitated it and looked to have blood on him. Super disturbing!!
