What cheap ethnic restaurants a short drive from Chevy Chase do you frequent? |
It is that is why I said SPHs which is where I lived not the other side of the park which is TP. |
+1 Thanks for the memoir, Frederick lady. |
Ah, I live in the Forest Glen area, and this hasn't been my experience at all. We are constantly on the Sligo trails and in the parks and playgrounds - and feel very safe. |

Wow! Is this true. I had no idea that Frederick had such a drug epidemic. This is very disturbing. Is this due to the opioid crisis? |
Now this is just rude. Not surprised you live in hoighty toity Chevy Chase. Well, my SS kids are hobnobbing with your kids at BCC high school and there is nothing you can do about it |
Is the area around Glenwood pool/Flora Singer ES good? Looks like a lot of multi-family housing and old housing stock. But people seem to like it. I can’t tell if they’re just boosters for the area because they care about their property values or they want to build a close community. |
Well I don't need to boost my neighborhood - houses are flying off the market. I'm actually lamenting it a little bit as it's going to be harder for young families. Anyway, if you walk around my hood, you'll see many people have done two story additions. People are sinking $300+ more into the housing stock here because we love it. It's a great community. But definitely not trying to sell anyone on it - it's not necessary and I'm totally aware that there are people who look down it. Shrug, everyone's mileage varies. |
I know doctors and scientists in that neighborhood but they are surrounded by low income housing on those barrack looking Fields apartments. Those people might cause problems. I don’t think Bethesda has this problem. |
To be clear, i'm in the neighborhood across Georgia from this one. But have lots of friends there. McKenney Hills I think is the one you are describing - both it and Forest Estates are great, and I'm also a big fan of the neighborhood nearby called Sligo Hills I think. All clustered in that area, all feed to Flora Singer/Sligo Middle/Einstein. |
Yeah rich kids never have any behavior issues. |
This tells me everything I need to know about you, in order to consider the source. |
All of that plus sligo is maybe a 1/2 mile from downtown. Rock creek park is 1-2 miles in the other direction, but very easily bikeable on the path along East West highway. (I rode from 16th street to the Capitol Crescent or Rock Creek park 100+ times when I lived in Silver Spring.) |
I don't live there but people rave about that neighborhood. I think it's even better if you manage to get into the Glenwood pool, as it is kind of the social heart of the neighborhood as far as I can tell. It also has the longest waiting list of any of the parks on the east side of the county, though. |
