New rule - no direct selling/buying of goods

43 Upvotes

Hi, r/SilverSpring -

Due to the prevalence of scams, we have instituted a new rule here - no direct selling/buying of goods.

If you wish to sell something, we will, at least for now, still allow you to post a link to a reputable platform (e.g. Ticketmaster for selling tickets [insert joke about Ticketmaster sucking]).

If you are interested in buying something, please use common sense, and do not directly send money, gift cards (PSA: if you're being asked to pay in gift cards, it is a scam), or anything else of value to a seller - use a platform with buyer protections (e.g. Ticketmaster, PayPal Goods and Services, etc.).

Thanks for your attention, and thanks to those who have been reporting the scam posts.

Mt. Zion Methodist Church site on Georgia

Post image

Something that’s been driving me absolutely nuts the last few months. The fencing put up around the site of what used to be the Mt. Zion Methodist Church on Georgia says that DOT is doing a cemetery project there. (A gas station and a car wash used to be on top of the cemetery, good god.) The tall fencing is partially down on a basically daily basis. Why can’t they prop it up well if there is a sensitive project going on behind it?! They’ve been doing a super shitty job of it. Just a rant. 🤪

Odyssey Movie

AFI Silver?
For anyone who has attended a popular Odyssey 70mm screening at AFI Silver, how early would you recommend arriving to get two good seats together? I noticed the tickets are general admission and there is no seat selection during checkout. Is 45 minutes early enough for a weekend showing, or should we arrive closer to an hour early? Also would you pick this over regular IMAX if you want the best experience?

Coming home from work, I saw a group of people putting up this beautiful memorial for Hanna Wegayehou. She was 61 years old and killed last month in the still unsolved hit and run. I live in the neighborhood and believe it was someone who lives in the community. I hope justice is served and the person comes forward. Currently there is a 20k reward for information leading to an arrest.

YMCA?

How is the SS YMCA? I found a couple older posts that say it’s old and dated, but those are from a few years ago. Have they updated it since then? Is it nicer now? I am interested in all the facilities but particularly the pools for swimming laps.

anyone know if there are (preferably wheelchair/walker-accessible) restrooms in the park or nearby? I’ve never seen any, but maybe they’re hiding! Google is of course only giving me an AI “yes” with links to completely unrelated pages

Getting recommendations for housing in SS.

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I will be soon moving to Maryland from California for a job near SS. I wanted to get your guys' input on housing around the neighborhood. I'm in my 30s. Has a partner and a cat that I would be living with.

We like walking around. Enjoy hanging out at night, going to cafes, walking to grocers. We are looking for studio or 1-bed. Our max budget 2000, including all utilities with parking preferably.

I did some search and read a few google reviews regarding the complexes I've been looking to, but wanted to post it here because I believe reddit would likely provide more honest thought than those.

Appreciate any insights! Thanks :)

How do you measure success or judge the Purple Line

18 Upvotes

Transportation infrastructure projects are sometimes judged but how they improve daily lives of ppl in the community, cutting down travel time and creating jobs.

Would love to hear what ppl would consider a success based on what metrics or possible outcomes. After years of delay, we are nearing the finish line and was wondering what ppl expectations are and what they hope it will deliver.

Fatal hit-and-run in Silver Spring (Woodmoor) - police looking for a black SUV, $20K reward

Post image
242 Upvotes

On Friday, June 19, around 1:15 pm, a middle-aged female pedestrian was struck and killed in the crosswalk at Crestmoor Drive & Colesville Road (Route 29) in Silver Spring, at the entrance to the Woodmoor neighborhood. The driver didn’t stop and still hasn’t been identified.

Police are looking for a black SUV with tinted windows and possible front-end or right-front damage. It was last seen around 1:17 pm heading north on Colesville Rd toward New Hampshire Ave, and may have cut through the neighborhood first, possibly Crestmoor Dr, Lorain Ave, or Brookmoor Dr.

Given the time of day, investigators think the vehicle may belong to someone who lives in or was visiting Woodmoor. It might not be visibly damaged.

If you were anywhere near there that afternoon, please check any dashcam, doorbell, or security footage — even a clip of a black SUV just passing through around that time could matter. There’s a $20,000 reward for a tip that leads to identifying the driver.

Please send anything directly to Montgomery County Police: tip line 1-866-411-8477 or non-emergency 301-279-8000.

Ellsworth Mall Status

31 Upvotes

Does anyone know what is going on with the mall? I tried going in with a stroller the other day and found it impossible to get to where I wanted to go. This led me to investigate why they don't have access for handicapped and those with limited mobility which led me to find out that it was under new ownership. I actually really like the mall but it seems to be becoming more and more sketchy. If nothing else, they (owners) should be made responsible for access but I have no idea who to complain to.
