Wouldn’t that be excellent? I thought about that at one point. Though we’d probably have to take a supporting role. I think one of the great things about his writing is that it centers around more gritty, man-on-the-street sort of stuff. But a guy can dream, can’t he?

Makes you wonder if he’s reading the blogs as a concerned citizen or for research. Mmmm…

Perhaps Pelecanos can write a story about Silver Spring (in a more positive light than TheWire).

Maybe a story about the revitalization,from bad times to good times, with a special focus on us bloggers of course.

Just want to put in another “oh yeah” for Thai Derm. Quality food at good prices and friendly, family service. And for the vegetarians in the hood, they will pretty much substitute tofu for any meat dish on the menu. They also have a good cabbage salad as an app that’s not on the menu. And if you want to try, caab kuun cop (phonetic spelling) is thank you in Thai. One of the server’s children taught me that the other night.

Pelicanos is indeed a neighbor, but he lives on Silver Spring Ave., not Thayer.

Yeah, for choosing Thai Derm! Better Food and a nicer atmosphere! George Pelecanos has lived on Silver Spring Avenue since 1992, so he IS one of your very close neighbors.

Why is it that the Peterson Companies hassle upstanding citizens, but don’t seem to be doing anything about the (apparent)drug dealers, gang bangers, and simply rude, foul mouth scum that hang out around City Place? Are they getting a cut off the top? Maybe they want 20% off each photo? Next time my sister e-mails me and say’s “cool photos”, I’ll give them the “co”.
