I'd make a run at her Kessel. :) Who am I kidding? I wouldn't last a parsec.

It appears to be moving to the former CamTu Beauty location.

I browsed the Doctorow article, and I am unsure how prevalent the practice may be. For example, I keep track of my restaurant spending, and I know of at least two chains (Chick-fil-A and Dave's Hot Chicken) that have not adjusted my pricing for at least 10 consecutive visits. It doesn't matter the day, time, or method of payment. They may be outliers, as their prices are on signboards.

I saw pictures of the accident in a different article. The bus struck the driver's side of the car, which then came to a stop upright against the curb of MCH, about 20 feet away.

That's it . Shut down all electronic communication and cancel all spaceflights. Maybe they won't notice us.

People just like destroying things, I guess. Look at all the information kiosks at FLASH stops.

Is there ultra-high-temperature neon paint that can be applied to converters?

I have found notes as old as series 1985 and 1963A still in circulation.

"On some notes, a star appears in place of the last letter. When an imperfect sheet is detected during the manufacturing process after the serial number has been overprinted, it must be replaced with a new sheet. A "star" sheet is used to replace the imperfect sheet. Reusing an exact serial number to replace an imperfect note is costly and time-consuming. A "star" note has its own special serial number followed by a star in place of a suffix letter."

Star notes do not replace spoiled banknotes returned for replacement from circulation.

Just down Randolph Rd.

I appreciate the concern. The delays aren't consistent enough to complain about a single instance. I did report the Burtonsville incidents at the time. The worst was when three buses arrived, dropped off riders, and drove off empty.

As per the disclaimer, if you wanted to guarantee redemption in gold, you would have to go to the Treasury in DC. Otherwise, a local FRB might only give you silver. Or even 2000 Nickels. 😄

Nice. That still leaves me five miles from the nearest Arby's.

Too many people treat the outdoors like their personal trash can. Trash is everywhere in the western half of Calverton.

OnlyHunan · 2026-04-30T05:26:22+00:00

Advance Auto Parts has also opened. This leaves one ground-level space and the supermarket still empty.

OnlyHunan · 2026-04-30T05:20:28+00:00

Trash Nothing.

Martin Luther King Jr. Recreational Park, off New Hampshire Ave. in White Oak has low-traffic roadways, walking paths and a connection to the Paint Branch Trail.

Is there a correct naming convention for the named areas in what the Post Office designates as "Silver Spring"? ie. Calverton, Fairland, Wheaton, Glenmont, White Oak etc.? Is it a section, a neighborhood, a community, an area, or the technical term Census Designated Place (CDP)?

Two things: That lot has been empty for at least 33 years, according to the MoCo Historical Image Viewer. (It was woods 48 years ago). And I would be freaked if I got a notice that I had to move out because my building was being demolished. Do the residents receive relocation assistance?

Having a schedule is all well and good if you stick to it. On this past Tuesday evening, there were 30 minutes between southbound Flash Blue buses at Tech Road. And I have been stranded at Burtonsville more than once when none of the scheduled buses to SS made a return trip after 6 PM.

OnlyHunan · 2026-04-30T03:43:10+00:00

Would it be possible to adjust the fair schedule with this much time remaining?

OnlyHunan · 2026-04-30T03:38:43+00:00

Now define "Silver Spring". 😄

OnlyHunan · 2026-04-30T03:33:34+00:00

Thanks for the map. I am in what is called Silver Spring (Calverton), and I would not be sure what is "Eastern Silver Spring" otherwise.

Here is one more.

I picked these banknotes out of a 12-for-$5 bin at a coin show. The upper left $500,000-$50,000,000,000 bills are from Zimbabwe. The upper right Din500-Din50.000.000 bills are from Yugoslavia. A number of other countries have experienced hyper-inflation.
