There is no demand for so much retail in Silver Spring after the completion of the DSS project which consolidated all the major downtown retail demand in one outdoor/indoor mall. <BR/><BR/>Things are so bad in Fenton Village that they closed off half of the Fenton Village parking garage due to lack of demand for parking in the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-28898396016356050752007-03-08T07:57:00.000-05:002007-03-08T07:57:00.000-05:00what's your problem with the new brewery? the rece...what's your problem with the new brewery? the recent article in the <A HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/04/AR2007030401202.html" REL="nofollow"> washington post</A> about it points out that the brewery is going to be opened by the folks (and former montgomery county firefighters) who own silver spring's <A HREF="http://www.hookandladderbeer.com/" REL="nofollow"> hook and ladder brewing company.</A> this means that:<BR/><BR/>1) this is a locally owned business selling a locally made product<BR/>2) not only will the historic building be preserved, but it will be preserved in a way that appropriately captures the building's heritage by people who care deeply about that heritage.<BR/>3)a percentage of their profits are donated to the local firefighter's burn foundation<BR/><BR/>given this, i'd say you'd be hard pressed to come up with a more appropriate choice for this location.<BR/><BR/>if it's not a establishment that you'd care to patronize that's fine, but you have to admit this is a great move for the community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-68550483740183420962007-03-07T19:06:00.000-05:002007-03-07T19:06:00.000-05:00Oh, I know they'll come to the brewery.
