I love that they have tons of retail clothing stores (such as Madewell and free people), as well as food options (Georgetown cupcakes, always gets a stop!).

In the "olden days" (i.e. the lat 80's - early 90's), I used to spend lots of time shopping on…read moreWisconsin Avenue, Mazza Gallery, Lord & Taylor and other shops that don't exist any more. The stores here aren't as exciting as they used to be. Whole Foods is a reason to come to this area (they also validate for discounted parking). There are also some nice restaurants such as Capital Grille (fully validate), PF Changs (no validation) and Maggianos (across the street). Bloomingdales is near PF Changs. There are other high end retail stores on the block. The parking garage at Wisconsin Place is approximately $3/hour. Look for street parking first (not just because it is cheaper). The garage is usually quite full so you'll need an extra 15 minutes just to circle and circle inside the garage. Take a picture of the level you parked your car to increase the chances of finding it again. Take your parking ticket with you since you can pay at the automated pay stations near the elevators.

this is honestly one of THE largest outdoor shopping centers i've ever seen...i kinda wonder if…read morethere's anything that rivals it locally... everything you could possibly want is here... +restaurants: buca di beppo, mod pizza, cinqo de mayo, kenaki sushi counter, house of kabob +bars: dog haus +supermarkets: whole foods, giant +pet smart for your pets +lowe's for all your home improvement needs if you want, you can even live here so that everything can be walkable...lakelands is an adjacent neighborhood. the only downside is the parking. with so many merchants, it comes as no surprise that many customers and their cars fill up the multiple parking lots. no matter the time of day, i feel that i always have to circle around a bit to find a free spot.

Downtown Silver Spring is amazing and has been my home for over a decade. So much transit options…read morethat will get even better with Purple Line. Good affordable parking access through the County if one drives as well. So many great businesses especially restaurants from cuisines all over the world with Ethiopian as most dominant. Probably the best coffee selection in the region as well. Two movie theatres (Regal and AFI) as well as Ellsworth and Black Box as well as Dave and Busters for entertainment. Home to some of the best beer selection around at Fenwick (retail) and Quarry House Tavern. Originally home to Denizens and Astro Lab and now Third Hill and Silver Branch. Four groceries stores as well make it far from a food desert. Multiple healthcare providers as well especially in Montgomery building. Pride, Jazz, and global festivals as well as a weekly farmers market on Saturday are nice as well. Housing options that have continued to expand tend to be more affordable than DC, Arlington, Tysons, Bethesda, and Rockville.

Downtown Silver Spring is the place to be!!…read more There are quite a few reasonably priced parking lots. Free on Sundays!! A lot of restaurants, black owned restaurants, stores for clothing and housewares, etc. I really enjoy this area and look forward to visiting again soon!!

So much to do here. In the winter, I love ice skating…read more Today they had the Memorial Day Parade with lots of performances. Lots of nearby parking garages which can be free and some are paid.

Rockville Town Center does a bunch of community events, which is pretty cool! Memorial Day Weekend…read morehad their Hometown Holidays event so my family went out to see The Warped Tour Band do some emo/punk covers. A lot of people brought chairs but we found seats along the wall on the side of the main stage. There were different food and drink vendors and other stalls, portalettes, and some covered seating as well. We had a good time. We generally only come to this part of the area for the movie theater, so it was cool to see it with such a community event focus!

We came to the Towne Centre at Laurel to look around at Guitar Center. We did find ourselves…read morelooking around other stores while here. We parked on the side close to Old Navy. We enjoyed a bite to eat at Sakura. You can't go wrong with their Teriyaki Chicken, Rice and Steamed Veggies combo that comes with a drink. The plus side of the Town Centre is the AMC Movie Theater. It's in the center end of the Town Centre. The shopping centers overall is good. There are a variety of stores, food, the movie theater and a few necessity spots for example a Dentist. Some may say why put one in a shopping centre but I've seen this more often than you may think. It doesn't hurt for convenience, so I don't have any negative feedback on that.

A couple other sundry establishments include a nail salon, a takeout Chinese store, an optometrist, and a children's clothing boutique (honestly I have no idea how some of these latter stores have managed to survive). Great place to take care of multiple errands in one trip.
