Tell me about downtown Silver Spring

[Anonymous]

We live in Takoma Park, which is an easy hop to DTSS, and go frequently to DTSS for kids activities (ice skating in the winter, water fountain/play area in the summer, the playground/park, ballet classes, farmers market, shopping, movie theater, etc.). There is also great ethnic food (Ethiopian, Jamaican, Thai, etc.) and there are good bars, too, w/in a few blocks of the new, core mixed-use development w/ the WF, Strosniders, Chipotle, Starbucks, Potbelly, AT Loft, etc. Our friends who live right there love it, too.

Do you mean "few" places?
