This listing might be very nice to have, but it's totally useless for me. I didn't get it in my…Read More mailbox until 11:55 am today, May 11. I don't know what time it was sent out, but I don't think I could be the only one who gets it too late. Is there any chance of the yard sale listing going out in the Friday Patch? Make the deadline a day earlier, maybe? I'd love to be able to make use of it.

Well, they are office blocks. If the buildings need elevators in order for the average person to get…Read More to the top floor without being short of breath, I reckon they can reasonably be described as 'hulking'. They are not small or cute, so yeah, I don't see a problem with that description. Are many cities worse? Well sure, but that doesn't make our little slice of office block purgatory a 'good' thing.
In a perfect world, such monstrosities wouldn't exist. They aren't something that ought to be defended - they are unappealing, they have no aesthetic value and they're a blight on the landscape. I'm just saying.

Also, you have to remember that this is coming from a community organization in DC. DC is known for…Read More having a cityscape of low-rise buildings. When people from DC come to Silver Spring, they see a cityscape of what seem like hulking skyscrapers in comparison to what they're used to.

Cyclists are allowed to use the full lane in Maryland and indeed should do so in MOST situations, as noted in Maryland TR § 21-1205 (a) (6). This is not being a 'road hog' - it is a necessary road position that allows cyclists to avoid hazards and prevent unsafe passing.

I do like Fenwick's - the owners are knowledgeable and genuine. Good place to shop. Expensive…Read More though, so I try to space out the visits.
On another note, Washington City Paper also revealed that Silver Spring was a favorite of "people who enjoy spending other people's earned money." Who'd a thunk?

Harry was more than a passionate believer in transit and a sustainable environment, he was a…Read More tireless advocate for Silver Spring and the people who live here. He was a thoughtful, generous man who liked to help his neighbors. We miss him a lot...

Holy crap, an even dumber comment. The bikes aren't free - have you never been to DC/other city in…Read More your life? Are you completely ignorant of the world around you?
What a racist piece of crap you are. What does this have to do with illegals, the left, IDs, or terrorism? The answer is nothing, idiot.

Joe, bikeshares are typically operated on a pay scale—you pay for how long you want to ride.…Read More No one gets the bikes for free.
