silver spring real estate: Silver Spring Alley Flower and Garden Show - 05/11/12 10:56 AM
This alley in Downtown Silver Spring never fails to disappoint in any season, but spring is probably the most beautiful. Just love it when the neighbors care just as much about their back alley as they do about their front yards.

silver spring real estate: Street Food in the East Silver Spring Neighborhood Downtown - 05/09/12 05:58 PM
Stopped by this Food Truck today at the CITGO gas station on the corner of Fenton and Bonifant Street. The truck is located at the edge of the East Silver Spring residential neighborhood. They have been here for just 3 days.
The food was delicious and fairly CHEAP. I had the “Steak and Fries” for 5 Bucks even. Plenty of marinated sliced steak meat with grilled veggies and rice, covered in fries with an incredible white sauce drizzled over it all. Since this was so good, next time I’m going to try the hot dog with shredded fries for $3.

silver spring real estate: Silver Spring Laundromats - You've come a Long Way, Baby! - 01/13/12 12:04 AM
I haven’t been in a laundromat in a long, long, long time, maybe 12 to 15 years ago.
The last time I needed to use a laundromat I went to the one near the corner of University Blvd & Piney Branch Road and also the one in the 16th Street Strip Mall that was on the level under the McDonalds there. They were both crowded places and kinda dingy and dark. There were 2 different sizes of washers and dryers that took coins. I couldn’t wait to get my laundry done and get out.
I recently went into the new Tropicana Laundromat on Fenton Street to wash some real bulky items … (1 comments)

The Blair Subdivision is one of the earliest subdivision of homes in Silver Spring. Originally called E Brooke Lee's Addition to Silver Spring, it is one of E Brooke Lee's first forays into Residential Real Estate Development.

Most of E Brooke Lee's addition eventually became the commercialized area of Downtown Silver Spring … (1 comments)

silver spring real estate: The Backyard of Backyard Bounty from the Back Alley in Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland - 05/27/11 05:12 AM
This backyard backs to an alley in the McNeill's neighborhood of Silver Spring, It was a cool thing to watch this small back yard space transfomed into such an abundant oasis, in a neighborhood that is just 2 blocks from the Downtown Silver Spring CBD.
This was really a bare small backyard just a few years ago. Every inch of space has been used cleverly, (even part of the alley) for the landscape and plantings. Even though there is a lot of space used for gardening, there is still a driveway to the garage and a large gazebo used for outdoor dining and fun.
It is still early in … (0 comments)

silver spring real estate: Wordless Wednesday - OH YUMMMM - 05/18/11 06:14 PM
This is a large steak and cheese sub from Santucci's in Silver Spring. Santucci's is a little Italian Deli in the Woodmoor Shopping Center on Colesville Road, Four Corners, Maryland. This place has the best subs ever! It's been here as far back as I can remember. It's better than Quiznos, Subway, Jerrys or any other "chain" sub place around. The flavor is homemade, NY italian deli meat, special seasonings, really good italian bread and attention to detail. They take their subs seriously here and it shows.

Step back in time behind the cases and coolers of beer, wine, snack displays and the cramped cash register to one of Silver Spring's best kept secrets.

The current proprietor "Hadi" took over the Flower Delicatessen from the original owner in 1979 and "redecorated" the deli bar/restaurant.
