The economy is booming in Silver Spring! The town is very excited about The Discovery Channel headquarters right here in our town. With the revitalization of downtown Silver Spring, many businesses are moving here, which has helped our economy more than we could have imagined! Downtown is in a very convenient location. Most businesses are within walking distance of the Metro, and the beltway can quickly take you to Baltimore & Annapolis! Silver Spring is very close to the Washington, D.C. line, making it very convenient to our Nation's Capital. We now have a Fresh Fields grocery store and a Starbucks coffee shop! The downtown area is beautiful once again! Our own Greater Capital Association of Realtors has also relocated here! We know a good thing when we see one! 

When Mike & I were children, we remember how our mothers would take us downtown to go shopping (and maybe stop at Crisfields for lunch!). It was a lovely place to go. Unfortunately, with all the malls that were built in the 1970s, people didn't go downtown as often, and it started to look a little "ragged". In the past few years, however, everyone has pitched in and worked on the revitalization, and what a change! It is once again a city to be proud of!
