[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, PP I beg to differ!

First of all.  You insult all Silver Spring residents by saying that people only live here because they can't afford living anywhere else.  Where is your proof?  Is it true because you say it is?  Exactly how am I "proving the pp's point by defending our decision?"

We obviously aren't going to be besties and show you our bank accounts.  Trust me, we could afford to live in Bethesda, but we don't choose to do so.  It's just not our style.  Shocking, I know!  You will just have to take my word and deal with it.

We get it.  You don't like Silver Spring and wouldn't live here.  I don't bash Bethesda but maybe it is because I am secure in our decision and still happy to live in Silver Spring![/quote]

Yeah sorry I just don't believe people like you. That's like someone saying they could afford Georgetown but choose to live in Trinidad.  Sure there are 10 nice houses on Sligo, but the rest of SS is bland and ugly, plain and simple. I've lived in this are for 15 years and I've frequented neighborhoods in Wheaton, Beltsville, and Takoma park for good food.  Silver spring has no redeeming qualities. And DTSS is pretty ghetto, like Chinatown.

Oh and ps I don't live in Bethesda. I'm not bashing SS for the sake of bashing it. I just think it sucks.

we looked in ss, nwdc, takoma, Bethesda.  Ended up on Brookland after getting into a charter. Agree that bethesda would not have been my first choice - maybe my last choice though Takoma annoyed me too (definitely overhyped neighborhood).  We hung out at that park in SS near spring street (walkabout from the metro) and loved the families we met there. The big kids were so fucking nice to my kid. Way nicer than the kids at the private school in Bethesda we were at at the time  I would have stayed nwdc if we could have, but we couldn't afford it. SS was fine.  Love the people in Brookalnd more than those in NWDC, but miss many of the amenities (we definitely drive more now).

To op, Brookland is where hipsters go once they get tired of being hipsters. So if you aren't a hipster but want to have long conversations about where to buy boutique cheese, move to Brookland and ask your 35 year old neighbors. [/quote]

Brookland is such an embarrassing sounding place to live. Not as bad as "ledroit" or "Trinidad" though. [/quote]
