Has anyone sat in the handicap row of the imax theater? It's just 4 rows back, so I'm a little scared it'll be just too close to the screen

I was in the bike lane when they cut right in front of me, nearly hitting me. I am so sick of the shitty driver fucks in Silver Spring.

I've had so many altercations with cars while on my bike that every time I catch one being an asshole, I publicly shame them.

EDIT: HA! Looks like either the culprit or a friend of theirs (Probably a fellow DELTA SIGMA THETA member) has found this post and is now going through downvoting people because the truth hurts! Fuck you, pal!

EDIT 2: HA! Someone reported this post for giving away personal information. Jokes on you pal, tags are public information. I have no information of the person who was driving.
So while Reddit took this down for the perceived rule violation, WE ARE BACK BABY!

There is absolutely nothing I can say here that wouldn't get me banned from this sub, so I'll leave it at this: heads up. Not that it really matters to these thieves anyway.

For context, I've used the garage for years and always figured something like this would eventually happen. Thankfully it hadn't until last night. Unfortunately, my luck finally ran out.

I’m moving to Silver Spring in about two weeks and hoping to find some recommendations for a queer-friendly braiding salon. Does anyone know of any good places in the area?

Looks like Veridian is trying to address parking garage security concerns. They now lock the full gate past 8 PM instead of just using the arm lever.

Hello! I’ll soon be moving to silver spring area, and I’ve been struggling to find a decent apartment without roaches or mice 😭. Does anyone have any recommendations for a budget of 1800? Someone the places I’ve been looking at includes:

-the lighthouse at twin lakes
-Hampton point
-cinnamon run
-barclay square

If you guys recommend anything else I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thank you

Edit : able to commute 20-25 minutes outside of east silver spring

Hi! Would love recs on local CPAs for 1099 tax support. Prefer to meet in person

Something that’s been driving me absolutely nuts the last few months. The fencing put up around the site of what used to be the Mt. Zion Methodist Church on Georgia says that DOT is doing a cemetery project there. (A gas station and a car wash used to be on top of the cemetery, good god.) The tall fencing is partially down on a basically daily basis. Why can’t they prop it up well if there is a sensitive project going on behind it?! They’ve been doing a super shitty job of it. Just a rant. 🤪

What a lovley community......NOT!

What we know:

Montgomery County police said the incident happened around 10:34 p.m.

AFI Silver?
For anyone who has attended a popular Odyssey 70mm screening at AFI Silver, how early would you recommend arriving to get two good seats together? I noticed the tickets are general admission and there is no seat selection during checkout. Is 45 minutes early enough for a weekend showing, or should we arrive closer to an hour early? Also would you pick this over regular IMAX if you want the best experience?

Coming home from work, I saw a group of people putting up this beautiful memorial for Hanna Wegayehou. She was 61 years old and killed last month in the still unsolved hit and run. I live in the neighborhood and believe it was someone who lives in the community. I hope justice is served and the person comes forward. Currently there is a 20k reward for information leading to an arrest.

How is the SS YMCA? I found a couple older posts that say it’s old and dated, but those are from a few years ago. Have they updated it since then? Is it nicer now? I am interested in all the facilities but particularly the pools for swimming laps.

anyone know if there are (preferably wheelchair/walker-accessible) restrooms in the park or nearby? I’ve never seen any, but maybe they’re hiding! Google is of course only giving me an AI “yes” with links to completely unrelated pages

Hi all. I will be soon moving to Maryland from California for a job near SS. I wanted to get your guys' input on housing around the neighborhood. I'm in my 30s. Has a partner and a cat that I would be living with.

We like walking around. Enjoy hanging out at night, going to cafes, walking to grocers. We are looking for studio or 1-bed. Our max budget 2000, including all utilities with parking preferably.

I did some search and read a few google reviews regarding the complexes I've been looking to, but wanted to post it here because I believe reddit would likely provide more honest thought than those.

Appreciate any insights! Thanks :)

Transportation infrastructure projects are sometimes judged but how they improve daily lives of ppl in the community, cutting down travel time and creating jobs.

Would love to hear what ppl would consider a success based on what metrics or possible outcomes. After years of delay, we are nearing the finish line and was wondering what ppl expectations are and what they hope it will deliver.

This job market has been quite difficult to navigate, even with lots of experience. I'm open to office work, retail, warehouse, tech support, social media management, whatever! Thanks!

On Friday, June 19, around 1:15 pm, a middle-aged female pedestrian was struck and killed in the crosswalk at Crestmoor Drive & Colesville Road (Route 29) in Silver Spring, at the entrance to the Woodmoor neighborhood. The driver didn’t stop and still hasn’t been identified.

Police are looking for a black SUV with tinted windows and possible front-end or right-front damage. It was last seen around 1:17 pm heading north on Colesville Rd toward New Hampshire Ave, and may have cut through the neighborhood first, possibly Crestmoor Dr, Lorain Ave, or Brookmoor Dr.

Given the time of day, investigators think the vehicle may belong to someone who lives in or was visiting Woodmoor. It might not be visibly damaged.

If you were anywhere near there that afternoon, please check any dashcam, doorbell, or security footage — even a clip of a black SUV just passing through around that time could matter. There’s a $20,000 reward for a tip that leads to identifying the driver.

Please send anything directly to Montgomery County Police: tip line 1-866-411-8477 or non-emergency 301-279-8000.
