[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. CP is really the only cool suburb.

Silver Spring is a weird mix between a dump and an outdoor outlet mall. Takoma Park is old and moldy, Bethesda is too commercial and just yuck, Clarendon used to be very cool but now is like millenial warehouse, Alexandria is too historic, Crystal City is underground, Rockville is a strip of big box stores with filled with soccer parents, Tysons is a mall on steroids...[/quote]

Nailed it![/quote]

No you missed by a mile on silver spring-wheaton.

The most authentic, arty locations where the leading edge opens businesses are the addresses where rents are the cheapest.  Duh.  Then likeminded people join them, then the masses find out and show up and barf it all over social media.  Then the rents go up and the acutely interesting people move on.

See eg logan circle, 14th street, brookland.  Bloomingdale.

I agree. Happy the poster agreed CP is cool, but Silver Spring really is #2. Yeah, the Ellsworth street is pretty commercial and not very unique but it is a nice walkable destination. Like I said, the Fillmore music venue and the AFI silver independent theater are huge bonuses to downtown silver spring, and the outer parts of it (including Wheaton) have the cool hole-in-the-wall restaurants and like PP said all the unique interesting businesses that can't afford higher rents.
