Attention Marylanders

[hkellick]

OK, this is a call out to those of you who read my LJ and live in or have lived in Maryland.

K and I are going off to Silver Spring this weekend, to look at the city and possibly a couple of apartments.

I'm looking for stories, good and bad, about Silver Spring. Tell me what you know. Good places? Bad places? Good apartments? Bad apartments?

I need to know what the apartment adverts aren't telling me.

Thank you in advance!

Also, where does the Traffic on the Beltway NOT suck?

That's the weird part, I usually just get in the center of things and follow my nose. There's thai food,there's a BJ's Mongolian BBQ, there's a Green Field Churrascaria Brazilian BBQ north of the beltway on 355 (also called "Meatboys"). There's plenty of hole-in-the-wall places for take-out. My favorite Indian place is Delhi Dhaba, and for mexican people like California Tortilla. Matuba for sushi, and...

Um, here, try the Zagat neighborhood listing and see if there's anything that sends you. You can search by location or cuisine.
