Montgomery Planning provided a brief history of Downtown Silver Spring in the recent Public Hearing Draft of Silver Spring Downtown and Adjacent Communities Plan. It can be seen below:
Indigenous peoples have lived in Montgomery County and the surrounding region for over 10,000 years. The Piscataway and Nacotchtank appear to have used the river valleys mostly for occupation and relied on the adjacent uplands for temporary camps associated with hunting and obtaining materials such as workable stone, until European colonization.
Popeyes has opened its Downtown Silver Spring location, according to signage in the window that was first seen yesterday (Now open 11-10pm).
We first reported back in October that Popeyes will be taking over the space that was left vacant by Bombay Gaylord in 2015 at 8401 Georgia Ave. in Silver Spring. Bombay closed after a fire destroyed the restaurant and the owners have since opened Nirvana Indian Cuisine in Olney back in late 2018.
