This email was on my neighborhood's List Serve, I am personally for it, How about you?. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This was on Silver Spring Moms - I thought I'd pass it onto others: Though I'm not usually one for big chains, given the loss of Storehouse and IA ETC, this might be a good addition to our neighborhood- and help anchor even more stores. If you're so inclined.........
Fri Apr 6, 2007 7:08 am (PST) Once again, I need your help. I'm trying to help with an e-mail campaign to bring Crate & Barrel to Silver Spring. Rumor has it they they are considering it. We've managed to find the e-mail address for the real estate consultant they are using, and we're asking that you 1) send some version of the message below to him and 2) that you circulate this or some other message that you write to your friends, neighbors, listservs, colleagues to get them to write as well.You may recall that we had at least some impact on bringing DSW here - so let's try again. Thanks for your support. 
Dear Mr. Josephs: I understand that you are one of the real estate consultants for Crate & Barrel. I've heard that Crate &Barrel has contemplated opening a store in downtown Silver Spring. I'm writing because I believe that Crate & Barrel would make a great addition to our downtown and - more importantly from your point of view - that the store would make a killing here. I will shop there regularly and so will my friends, family and neighbors.
By the way, I heard that our local Whole Foods is the highest grossing Whole Foods on the East Coast. You might want to check out the veracity of that since it might give you some perspective on how well Crate & Barrel would do here. If there is something more I can do to impress upon you how ready for a Crate & Barrel Silver Spring is, please let me know. I'm really looking forward to spending lots of time and money in the new Crate & Barrel in Downtown Silver Spring.
