I always order mine "without balls" (matzoh that is) or with "just one ball" The matzoh balls are not that bad,

The Committee to Save the Watson House, a large group of residents in Silver Spring's Woodside Forest, has appealed to Montgomery County to save the historic Watson House, one of the best and few remaining examples of the Dutch Colonial architecture in the area. Early in 2007, the Committee hired EHT Traceries, Inc., architectural historians based in D.C., to research the house and its architectural significance. Originating in homes put up by German settlers in Pennsylvania as far back as the 1600s, the Dutch Colonial style saw a revival in the early 20th century. Built ca. 1918, the house at 9206

At second glance you will find that one page informs land property owners

localism: McMansions in East Silver Spring - Silver Spring Real Estate - 12/11/07 02:03 PM
This post was inspired by a another local blogger www.ThayerAvenue.com who posted about a ginormous McMansion going up in East Silver Spring on Thayer Avenue. Most of East Silver Spring still has "normal sized" older houses. The few McMansions or new infill construction that we do have REALLY stand out. One example on Easley street is the "McMansion with no windows" It started out as a small bungalow home built in 1928 between 2 other similar houses. The home had a larger and deeper than average lot size of 12,180 sq ft. It was torn down sometime ago and remained a big watery mud
