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 :)

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?

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

I cannot find anything on it and it's usually held in July. Does anyone know?

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.

Does anyone know what is going on with the mall? I tried going in with a stroller the other day and found it impossible to get to where I wanted to go. This led me to investigate why they don't have access for handicapped and those with limited mobility which led me to find out that it was under new ownership. I actually really like the mall but it seems to be becoming more and more sketchy. If nothing else, they (owners) should be made responsible for access but I have no idea who to complain to.

We went to Cyd Rowley Jewelry in Kensington and she walked us through her studio and jewelry making process. https://explorekensington.com/cyd-rowley-jewelry/

Reposting if anyone is interested. (I’m not the original poster.)

Hello! Wanting to inquire about Silver Spring, MD? Things to do as an incoming transplant there. Any recommendations are welcome!

Which councilman do I need to thank for this? Great for those who leverage the walkability around here!

Air quality is terrible right now due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. Wearing a mask outdoors is highly recommended!

Live by Manchester Road near Sligo and Wayne. At least three times today, I have heard loud exploding noises -- is it Purple Line work? Just came back after being away for work most of the week.

Remarkably loud. Thought it was a transformer bursting, but the power didn't go out. Just happened yet again.

There’s a random drone flying above East-West Highway. Couldn’t get a good video. It may just be police because a cruiser pulled up right before the drone disappeared.

Hey everyone, I help run a meetup group for people with chronic illness, and wanted to make a quick plug that we’re meeting Sunday afternoon at the Takoma Park Neighborhood library for casual board games and hanging out. Here's the info if anyone wants to join us!
