Much Better Than You Think

Silver Spring SingularThat’s how Silver Spring, Singular’s “Karl” describes Silver Spring in today’s Washingtonian Blogger Beat. Good interview with the mysterious man who helped coin and/or popularize terms like “The Promenade” and “SSINO” (Silver Spring in Name Only). Not only a great article on the blog and its writer but great press for Silver Spring as well.

I can’t agree enough with the statement about the need for an Apple Store. And under the “Local Leaders You Would Want to Fire” section, he was very kind for not calling out a name, but I’ll do it here: Marc Elrich.

And big thanks for the shout out!

    If you look closely, you can see the word “CRACKA” scrawled behind him and to the right. That about sums it up.

    According to “Spike Lee“, he’s actually Robin Thicke:

    Um, OK. A nice–if rather odd–plug for a fellow blogger. Not sure whether this is sour grapes or just silly. (Nor how it could be called “fun with race”?)

    Not that I’m that thick with the council, but right now, the hold-up with The Fillmore appears to be the negotiators for the county on the conveyance agreement. Diane Schwartz-Jones is supposed to be large and in charge, but might just be in the way, depending on who’s talking.
