- And don't forget: tomorrow is the return of Fenton Street Market in its new, weekly iteration with dozens of new vendors. There's also a new addition called the Village Square, a sort of workshop led by local businesses and sponsored by the Peterson Companies, the good folks who brought you Downtown Silver Spring. This week, the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center will teach you how to do screen-printing. It all goes down from 9am to 3pm in the parking lot at Fenton Street and Silver Spring Avenue.
- Meanwhile, it's also Record Store Day, the "one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music," according to their website. Here in East County we've got THREE participating venues. There's Joe's Record Paradise - which hosted local country-jazz legend Chick Hall last weekend - and CD-Game Exchange, both located at Georgia and Ripley in Downtown Silver Spring, along with CD-Game Exchange's new store on Carroll Avenue in Takoma Park.
- Pacci's Pizzeria and new restaurant/brewpub Fire Station 1 will open within the next month, says SoCo Eats, meaning you've got two more reasons to venture south on Georgia Avenue. They're both located at Georgia and Silver Spring Avenue, on either side of the World Building.
- Meanwhile, Eric at Thayer Avenue went to 8407 with his wife and calls it "possibly the best restaurant right now in Silver Spring." What say you, Nacho?
