[quote=Anonymous]I'm 14:34 and we lived in Silver Spring. We've lived in many places except never Maine like one of the previous posters. I have lived in other cities in a neighborhood that was described as transitional or gentrifying and it was far more integrated. Like the Maine poster, I've lived in racially diverse communities where recent not wealthy immigrants, highly paid professionals, retired firemen and teachers, and parents working two jobs each at minimum wage  all hung together. Sports teams were integrated etc. Everyone went to the same parks. Some of the kids friends were in low income housing and some of them were in 2M houses.

Perhaps its that MD is so closed to the south but the racial segregation within Silver Spring is not a good vibe. Getting a classroom together for a group PR shot is not my idea of integration. The school system were kids were integrated was not test obsessed so maybe MCPS itself unintentionally drives a wedge in the racial issues. Whatever it is, the poster that the TP people are defensively attacking described what we observed while we were in Silver Spring. [/quote]
