Large Weather Synced Art Installation Coming to Downtown Silver Spring

A large, kinetic art installation is being installed next week in Downtown Silver Spring. This is a part of Peterson Companies recent $10 million makeover plan of DTSS. 


Montgomery Village

We’re a few months into the construction at the site of the upcoming Lidl at the Professional Center site that was on Montgomery Village and Centerway, across from the Montgomery Village shopping center.

Before the buildings were demolished, however, resident Chelsea Hall found some pretty impressive graffiti adorning the walls of the abandoned buildings.

But while I was scrolling through a list of R.E.M’s music, I was surprised to find a lesser-known song featuring Montgomery County’s Rockville.
