silver spring real estate: The Backyard of Backyard Bounty from the Back Alley in Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland - 05/26/11 10:12 PM
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 11:14 AM
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.

silver spring real estate: Halloween is Over - Time to Think Turkey and the Annual Silver Spring Thanksgiving Parade - 11/10/09 01:47 AM
Somewhere in Silver Spring . . . . the skeleton house was my pick for the best Halloween Display I saw this year.  My photos do not do it justice because they are taken in the daytime.  There are skulls mounted on the gutters with fire spewing out of them (at night) like funeral pyres.  Still can't figure out how they did that? At night this yard really looks like a graveyard with skeletons hanging in trees, coffins, sitting in chairs, hanging from the highest window, sprawled on the ground in pieces. Someone is very talented and would be super at settting scenes.Now that we are into … (0 comments)
