Hello-
I live on the 500 block of Thayer Avenue and I am fed up with the excessive litter and the mattresses/front doors/trashbags that keep getting dumped on the Thayer Ave path to East Silver Spring Elementary.
Is anyone else on the street tired of this? Anybody willing to help clean up?
hey,
I heard that the ‘turf’ in downtown silver spring is going to become a skating rink! Do you know if/when that’s going to happen? Thanks!
The Wednesday May 7th episode of Criminal Minds on CBS took place in Silver Spring AND it was singular! The victim’s phone number was given as 301-555-something something. The buildings used were believable. One glaring error: The is no Silver Spring Police. We’re unincorporated, it’s the MOCO police Department….they might as well have called the mayor of Silver Spring.

Planners Invite Residents to Open Up at Takoma/Langley Crossroads Open House, Contribute to Community Plan
SILVER SPRING, MD – Planners from Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, developing a plan to improve quality of life in the Takoma/Langley Crossroads through land use, transportation and pedestrian safety improvements, are hosting an open house on Wednesday, May 21 to hear from the community.
The open house at the Langley Park Community Center will provide an opportunity for residents and other interested stakeholders to specify what development they would like to see in the Crossroads area. Planners will provide a short presentation on the sector plan and encourage people to stop by to both learn about the plan’s progress and contribute their good ideas.
The sector plan creates a vision of the community over the next decade or more and makes recommendations on such issues as land use, housing needs, pedestrian safety, transportation, open space and more.
The sector plan is especially timely, considering the transit improvements planned for the Crossroads, including the Purple Line, a 14-mile transit system proposed to connect Metro to Bethesda, Silver Spring, College Park and Riverdale Park. Purple Line planners propose two stops within the Takoma/Langley Crossroads community: the intersections of University Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue and at University Boulevard and Riggs Road.
Moreover, state transportation officials have committed to building a bus transit station that would consolidate area bus stops in a central location on New Hampshire Avenue. Maryland transit officials will be on hand to discuss planned improvements at the May 21 meeting.
The 574-acre planning area runs in a one-half mile circumference around New Hampshire Avenue and University Boulevard. The sector plan represents a joint effort of the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission – planners from both Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties – with the city of Takoma Park.
Who: Members of the community joining the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the city of Takoma Park
What: The Takoma/Langley Crossroads Sector Plan community open house
When: 4 – 8:30 p.m. Wednesday May 21
Where: Langley Park Community Center, 1500 Merrimac Drive, Langley Park
I find your articles interesting and informative and I thank you for coming by. Just a few comments to help answer some questions… I put up the county sign because they really are threatening my business (see the Gazette article a couple of weeks ago for details) and not because of my political leanings. I am conservative (no secret there) but have friends and campaign for them on both sides of the aisle as I am anything but closed minded. On the fuel side, Chevron has abandoned the middle eastern part of the country and I am in limbo as my fuel distributor is in the process of being purchased. Therefore, no brand name. As soon as I know, the community will know. Meanwhile, we will do our best to be a clean, inviting, friendly business for as long as we are here.
Looks like the Pier 1 location will be turned into a City Sports:

Don’t they know about Silver Springers vulgar proclivities towards establishments with “city” in the name?
