What is going on in
Silver Spring? How do we share with others all that is happening? Where can I
grab a bite to eat in downtown? Where are the Facebook pages, blogs, etc.? While
there may not be a single ‘site’ or place that can answer all these questions,
hopefully the links below can help muddle through the vast universe of
information out there… Check them out and let us know how to improve them:
[1] Do you have a friend that just moved to Silver Spring? Would
you like to know more about “what is
going on”? Or, are you planning for that August “stay-cation”? Then you may
want to visit our blog posting tailored to those ‘new to Silver Spring’… It can
be found HERE.
[2] Is your group, non-profit, business, or institution
doing something that is “open to the public and welcoming of all”? Are you
planning an event, a meeting, a dialogue, or a community get-together that you
want to “tell the world about”? Where do you start? How do you get the word out? Well, there’s a ‘blog posting’ for
that as well – not an app though (at least not yet!) It includes a short list of contacts that
welcome listing what you are doing… It can be found HERE.
[3] Are you getting our exciting, informative, and full of
useful tid-bits e-mails (via “MailChimp”)? If not, then you want to sign up to receive these e-blasts… Just go HERE.
[4] So, where exactly can we find a list of Facebook pages, blogs, and web-sites that are focused
exclusively on Silver Spring? Well, the single ‘point of entry’ may not yet
exist. But in the meantime, you may want to visit a somewhat imperfect (and
definitively incomplete) list that we began a while back… While not ready for
prime-time, it might be a start*. (*Please do help us improve it by leaving your
comments on what is missing, broken or outdated links, etc.)… The “list of
lists” can be found HERE.
[5] While our Regional Area encompasses all of Silver Spring
south of the Beltway (and Four Corners), we also work closely with “all things downtown”. If you have not checked out the mobile
version of our downtown web-site, you may want to do so and add it to your
mobile device. The site focuses on our wonderful arts, entertainment, and
culinary experiences in our downtown area (from the College up to Spring
Street, including all the great restaurants on Georgia Avenue, the
entertainment venues on Colessville, the living opportunities and retail on
East/West Highway, the fun on Ellsworth, and the growing number of establishments
on Fenton.)… The site is:
[6] Finally: Are you ready for our Tweets? We’ve taken the
plunge and have begun Tweetting about our work in the Silver Spring Regional
Area… Find us at @Reemberto
