[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Silver Spring was probably nicer 20 years ago. It had a trendy clothing retail scene with American Apparel and others. Discovery HQ was a shining beacon for the neighborhood. The area felt safer, but not sure about the actual crime stats. 25-plus years ago, Montgomery Blair HS was still a strong anchor for the neighborhood, before it left. Since then the historic facility has largely been neglected and left to deteriorate. [/quote] I think the construction of the Purple Line has a lot to do with why Silver Spring feels worse now. As a resident of 20910, I am hoping that once the PL is finally finished the neighborhood will start to pick up again. It's still nice now (particularly the residential neighborhoods surrounding downtown) but the construction is downright awful and has been very disruptive to businesses. But if metro is any indication, once it's finally done, the area should be poised to recover and improve. [/quote]
