photos (c)2008 Incorrigible CurmudgeonI lived in downtown Silver Spring for 10 years in the '90s, back when it was a dump, okay, actually just seedy, tawdry, and run-down.
These days, its been re-invented as a destination, and has become one of my my favorite places to hang-out, with cool places like the AFI Silver theater, the Austin Grill, Borders books, Whole Foods, and free garage parking on evenings and weekends. Also decent Ethiopian food (Lagano) and bland but decent Caribbean food (Negril's) nearby, along with Panera's, Macaroni Grill, Asian Bistro, Starbucks, Great Eggspectations, the Majestic Twenty stadium seating movie theater, and the incomparable Roadhouse Oldies. Supposed to be free wi-fi throughout downtown, but I haven't vetted it yet.

I'm telling you, Dr. J. Bland "ethnic" restaurants are the devil. Whenever a bland Thai or Carribean joint sets up shop that's when the condos and yuppies roll in...
Dani, as we used to say back in the day: "You ain't nevah lied!"
I am looking to purchase the rights to use a photo of Silver Spring MD. You have a few that look promising. Please let me know if you would be willing to work out some arrangement. Alternately, let me suggest that you might consider signing up for istock. I would have purchased your images already if they were available through that service.
Thanks, Ray
