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!

If it helps any, I sent techs there a lot. I can't remember if they are mostly commercial or mostly residential techs.. but I generally figure something is a decent neighborhood if an alarm company has a sizeable presence there. (Not always foolproof, but it's something to go on when you have nothing else.)

Private residences or apartment buildings/office suites, or both?

Seeing as if I don't know if they've been commercial or residential, I can't really break it down into more specifics. :) Really, I just recognized the name, which means I've probably seen it a lot. I take no less than 240ish calls every day, so if a particular place stands out it either means it has relevance or gets mentioned a lot. (Or it just has a strange name.)
