Hundreds of fans packed City Place Mall (now Ellsworth Place) in Silver Spring for a free Rihanna concert in 2005. At the time, ‘Pon De Replay’ was her biggest hit. We were told officials from either the mall or the concert were offering freebies to get people inside for the up and coming singer’s concert. Photos below by Sara Feldman Kuhn.
It didn’t take long for Rihanna to find more success and eventually become one of the most popular entertainers in the world.

Sweeteria, a coffee/tea and dessert spot from the owners of Kao Thai Restaurant, opened last month at 8646 Colesville Road. We stopped in to check about a specific dish that many have been raving about and were not disappointed. The Thai Tea Toast with Coconut Ice Cream, fresh fruit, and other goodies was as good as advertised. Already relatively popular in the short time it has been there, as evident by the multiple carry-out orders that were picked up in the short time we were there, Sweeteria is a charming cafe with a friendly staff and a tasty product.
We look forward to picking up some sweet treats again soon.
