[quote=Anonymous]I live a few blocks from downtown Silver Spring, and have lived here for the past 20 years, and the depictions here don't match my experience. Perhaps people just don't remember what it was like 15-20 years ago, but it really has been continuous improvement. Honestly, I would prefer less development than what has occurred, because I think that the number of new apartment buildings and other development is too much, but it's really strange to claim that there's been any deterioration. I think people really have a tough time remembering too far back. I do almost all of my errands by walking (have my choice or Whole Foods, Safeway, Giant, and Mom's, and there's a rumor that TJ will be part of an apartment complex under development), my family also enjoys the nearby new community center with indoor pool, and we have probably 50 restaurants within a few blocks (including two breweries that opened within the past 10 years and a third on the way). We also occasionally go the concerts at the recently built Fillmore and also enjoy movies at AFI. I guess if this is what "deterioration" looks like, then I'll take it any day.[/quote]
