Steve and Barry’s recently opened a store in City Place in Downtown Silver Spring.

The downtown hardware store - Strosniders.

Now that the weather is warm here is a perfect way to get around the many trails and parks that cross Silver Spring.

Not sure if this closure is due to the economic conditions or just part of the normal course of business.

Another wet Friday morning found me down on Ellsworth Drive again. Thankfully by the afternoon the weather had improved and according to the weather widget it will be in the 70’s today.

‘Pieces of Silver Spring’ was a clothing store that opened in March 07. After only a year it has closed its doors.

This row contains a number of restaurants and beauty shops. With all the changes and rebuilding going on in the area I do wonder if their time is limited.
