The Trains from Silver Spring

Silver Spring metro and railroad stations are elevated. Colesville Road passes under them.

I thought at the station from Kamakura, in Ozu's movies. Was it once Silver Spring as quiet as Kamakura, as I know it from Late Spring?

I tried a video, it was hard to choose a correct angle. Here's what I got:

They say it's in Silver Spring's Quarry House tavern: beer, burgers and basement. And music. It's for dating as well as for any casual business. Only be brave enough to come down the thirteen steps.

Silver Spring - Mi Rancho

I took once my lunch at Mi Rancho: a great steak and some red wine. I promised myself to come again, I never found time any more. Maybe when I come again to DC. It is a fine place, very friendly.

Silver Spring

Silver Spring, Maryland, a city I love so much. I used to come there by metro, then I was taking the East-West Highway and the trail towards Bethesda. Some other times I was coming from Bethesda, on the trail (and East-West Highway, crossing the Rock Creek Trail by Meadowbrook Stables), and I was taking the metro in the end to go home.

First time I came there it was from Bethesda. I took the trail, it was about three miles or so, but I got confused once in Silver Spring, I didn't know the directions to the metro station. It was getting dark and it was kind of cold.

Then I started to come very often and I discovered bit by bit the city's beauties. There is a spirit of the place, anywhere, and it's hidden. You need to be patient and open, you'll discover it, this spiritus loci.
