[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people keep bringing up an unsolved murder from SS that happened TWO YEARS AGO? Or, more likely, it's just one person on this board who is fixated on it. I live within a five-minute walk of that garage, and it's practically full all the time, so evidently most people have gotten over it. Probably hundreds of thousands of people have used that garage safely since then.

There are tons of unsolved murders everywhere in this region, including this one:

I have lived in Arlington and I have lived in Silver Spring. To not acknowledge that Downtown Silver Spring has not dramatically slid downhill over the past 10-15 years while places like Ballston Quarter and Crystal City have evolved into much nicer places than they were 10-15 years ago is just delusional. No objective person would say otherwise. Electing politicians who create a business and regulatory climate like there is in MoCo has consequences. And places like Downtown Silver Spring are emblematic of these choices.

Don’t believe me? Walk around the “mall” in Downtown Silver Spring and then go walk around Ballston Quarter. Ballston Quarter feels like Dubai by comparison. The mall in Downtown Silver Spring is a depressing crap hole.[/quote]
