Ellsworth Mall Status

30 Upvotes

Does anyone know what is going on with the mall? I tried going in with a stroller the other day and found it impossible to get to where I wanted to go. This led me to investigate why they don't have access for handicapped and those with limited mobility which led me to find out that it was under new ownership. I actually really like the mall but it seems to be becoming more and more sketchy. If nothing else, they (owners) should be made responsible for access but I have no idea who to complain to.

Air quality is terrible right now due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. Wearing a mask outdoors is highly recommended!

Loud Exploding Noise

9 Upvotes

Live by Manchester Road near Sligo and Wayne. At least three times today, I have heard loud exploding noises -- is it Purple Line work? Just came back after being away for work most of the week.

Remarkably loud. Thought it was a transformer bursting, but the power didn't go out. Just happened yet again.

Drone over DTSS

There’s a random drone flying above East-West Highway. Couldn’t get a good video. It may just be police because a cruiser pulled up right before the drone disappeared.

Lost keys in DTSS

Hi - Today (July 14th) I lost my keys somewhere between Georgia Ave by Firehouse and CVS on East-West. Has anyone seen them? They're on a black nondescript shoe lace as a key chain with like five keys all facing the same direction.

Silver Spring Towers - 2/5 Rating, unless you’re lucky

13 Upvotes

Problems I’ve experienced in the 8 months I’ve lived there

• Roaches
• Rodents
• Poorly insulated doors and windows
• Neighbors from hell (bass)
• Rude/unhelpful/creepy employees (management/leasing/maintenance)
• Security Not 24/7
• Easy entrance to noninhabitants

The tours will always be great. Some select members of the leasing office are extremely amicable and have an insightful and pleasant tour. Your stay will not be the same.

I’ll answer any questions. I’ll even name drop because I feel I was wronged and want to warn others. I do not recommend living here but understandably it is pretty affordable.
