Where else is density going to go?

But yeah someone needs to figure out why Ballston is thriving but DTSS is withering.

All of Maryland is withering. 1% economic growth while Virginia at 12% and national average is even higher.

Are you just making up numbers now? Virginia GDP growth in 2024 was 2%.

No. Rachel Carson lived in silver spring. She also wrote a book on cancer that was about pesticide use, not about silver spring.

It's definitely disappointing. I used to spend a lot of time there with my toddler. He's a teen now. It's turned less enjoyable very quickly. I hope that someone will fix whatever has gone wrong, because it was close and a fun place to hang out.

Same. Years ago we spent time there but there’s no reason for us to go there anymore nor do I have any urge when there are nicer places to go. Our kids definitely aren’t interested when they can go to Bethesda or elsewhere.

We aren't missing you!

She was from an area close to Pittsburg PA
