The carnival's back at Wheaton Plaza and friend of JUTP/awesome photographer Chip Py took this lovely shot of the Tilt-A-Whirl. If you'd like a ride, bring your barf bag to the parking lot outside JCPenney on Veirs Mill Road any day this week through Sunday.Anyway:
- Yuppie moms everywhere are seething at Devouring DC's declaration that Pacci's Pizzeria is better than 2 Amys in Cleveland Park, but most of them probably don't even know where Silver Spring is.
- County planners are getting ready to draw up a life sciences center in White Oak, and they'd like to talk to you about it first. They're holding an open house today from 4:30 to 8:30pm at the Regional Services Center, located at 3300 Briggs Chaney Road at Robey Road.
- There's two very lovely retrospectives in the Post this week. A sort-of nostalgic look at living in Takoma Park, back when the streets really did smell of patchouli, and a reprint of Carl Bernstein's 1976 commencement speech at Blair High School, where he barely graduated from fifteen years earlier.
Perhaps that's why he's able to give such stirring advice:
"The real world is a lot more tolerant, a lot more interesting, a lot more fun, a lot more sensible really than the cocoon that is high school . . . Now you get to be your own person, not what your teachers want you to be, not what your parents expect you to be."Last, but not least:
- If your morning commute yesterday sucked, you've got a broken air conditioner to blame. No, seriously.
- At The Straight Line, county planner Elza Hizel-McCoy celebrates the "majestic" parking garage at Fenton and Cameron streets.
Yuppie mom's everywhere are seething? Not only were there no responses to the post, what it actually said was "I would even go out on a limb to say it's right up there breathing down the neck of Two Amy's", not that it was better than 2 Amy's.
ReplyDeleteI'm a silver spring resident and love pacci's. It isn't 2 amy's quite yet though. I'd say about 75%-85% there, which is a huge compliment since 2 Amy's really is the standard bearer.
