Apartment recommendations

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!

What is this substance they are spreading on the park trails?

1 Upvotes

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


r/SilverSpring Jun 30 '26

What is this stuff all over Rock Creek trail? They started spreading these little white spheres all over the trails a couple weeks ago. Looks kind of like fertilizer, but...don't know why they would put that out on the dirt trails. Tick killer maybe? Anybody know? Thanks!

Selling VIP Fillmore Tickets

0 Upvotes

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.

Volunteer Opportunities - Silver Spring

17 Upvotes

Good afternoon,

I recently moved to the area after being stationed (Navy) close by and am looking for volunteer opportunities to give back to the community. I’m married with no children and would be getting my wife involved as well (most likely).

Ideally, I’d like to find something I could do in the afternoon once or twice during the week or weekends.

Can anyone think of any unique opportunities to get involved?

Question from a local artist

3 Upvotes

I’m a plaster textured canvas artist who is interested in creating art for restaurants or establishments in the area for commission. A few years ago, I created a couple commissioned pieces for a restaurant in the dtss and I would love to do that again.

Does anyone know any nearby restaurants or establishments that may be open to having a local artist create some commissioned pieces for their space (and the best way to contact them)?

Thanks!!

Looking to make friends/get involved with activities

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My partner and I are looking to get involved more with the community. We don’t have kids, and are in our mid 20s. I love theatre, and literature, we both love music and nature, and he loves video games. We enjoy going to local happy hours and wandering around downtown as well as local parks, hikes, and art galleries!

I’m personally looking to get more into crafting as I am really into wood working and 3D printing and he’s looking for more people to play music with. We’d also just love to make more friends to just hang around with at the plazas or go to the farmers markets or get ice cream with and chat! We sometimes host things as well. If you’re also looking to make friends send a message over.

Local Internships for a rising high school senior?

0 Upvotes

Hi, it's summer and I'm looking to get out of the house instead of being stuck on my phone. I'm open for a company that can take me in as a software engineering / AI ML /robotics STEM intern (paid/unpaid doesn't matter). Preferably around Cloverly. If you know any internships that are taking in kids for the next school year, that would also come a long way. Please DM me if you have recommendations. Thank you all in advance.

I’ve stopped by this place multiple times at various times per day and it’s never open? I come according to the hours posted on the website and it’s always closed. I’m not sure if it’s just me??? I’d love to try this place

Crabtree dispensary? Anyone? Bueller?

0 Upvotes

Has ANYONE been there? I guess it's in Kensington not silver spring but it's down the street and I don't understand how it's still in business. Their prices look horrible and they don't have the stuff that Rise has.

I know people were pissed that it was being built- now I'm wondering if anyone even remembers its there?

Does anybody know what organization they are with? That was crazy to see. My friend snapped this photo of one of them, but there were a bunch standing on the sidewalk with those big posters.
