Silver Spring is an unincorporated area, City, and census-designated place (CDP) in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. It had a population of 76,716 according to 2013 estimates by the United States Census Bureau, making it the fourth most populous place in Maryland, after Baltimore, Columbia, and Germantown.[2]
The urbanized, oldest, and southernmost part of Silver Spring is a major business hub that lies at the north apex of Washington, D.C. As of 2004, the Central Business District (CBD) held 7,254,729 square feet (673,986 m2) of office space, 5216 dwelling units and 17.6 acres (71,000 m2) of parkland. The population density of this CBD area of Silver Spring was 15,600 per square mile all within 360 acres (1.5 km2) and approximately 2.5 square miles (6 km2) in the CBD/downtown area.[3] The community has recently undergone a significant renaissance, with the addition of major retail, residential, and office developments.
Silver Spring takes its name from a mica-flecked spring discovered there in 1840 by Francis Preston Blair, who subsequently bought much of the surrounding land. Acorn Park, tucked away in an area of south Silver Spring away from the main downtown area, is believed to be the site of the original spring.
Twenty-first century
At the beginning of the 21st century, downtown Silver Spring began to see the results of redevelopment. Several city blocks near City Place Mall were completely reconstructed to accommodate a new outdoor shopping plaza called "Downtown Silver Spring." New shops included national retail chains such as Whole Foods Market, a 20-screen Regal Theatres, Men's Wearhouse, Ann Taylor Loft, DSW Shoe Warehouse, Office Depot, and the now-closed Pier 1 Imports, as well as many restaurants, including Panera Bread, Red Lobster, Cold Stone Creamery, Fuddruckers, Potbelly Sandwich Works, Nando's Peri-Peri, and Chick-fil-a. A Borders book store was a popular spot until it closed when the chain went out of business; it was replaced by H&M. In addition to these chains, Downtown Silver Spring is home to a wide variety of family-owned restaurants representing its vast ethnic diversity. As downtown Silver Spring revived, its 160-year history was celebrated in a PBS documentary entitled Silver Spring: Story of an American Suburb, released in 2002.[28] In 2003, Discovery Communications completed the construction of its headquarters and relocated to downtown Silver Spring from nearby Bethesda. The same year also brought the reopening of the Silver Theatre, as AFI Silver, under the auspices of the American Film Institute. Development continues with the opening of new office buildings, condos, stores, and restaurants. In 2015-16, the long-struggling City Place Mall underwent a complete renovation, had its name changed to Ellsworth Place, and brought in new tenants, including TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less (a re-opening original tenant), Michaels, Forever 21, and Dave & Buster's. The restoration of the old B&O Passenger Station was undertaken between 2000 and 2002, as recorded in the documentary film Next Stop: Silver Spring.[29][30] In 2005 Downtown Silver Spring was awarded the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence silver medal.

This generated so much nostalgia within me😩. I grew up in Silver Spring and miss it so much!
It's an upper class neighborhood?
Me too but I’m still not too far from there
Where are you, now?
I was born in Maryland but i was Raised in puerto rico. I wish i can go there one day and see my other family. 💟💟
I Love you Maryland !
Right there with you!
Yeah but it's one of the wealthiest state in America
Just moved here and I love it...
How is it? I'm thinking of moving there from Florida
Where did you move from? My I ask your age
@@1babygirlg me to
Yeah I wanted to move to Florida but then I changed my mind because too many people are moving there and then everything you see it's about Florida but then it look like my state got every crazy thing going on
mainly retirees and it’s not all cracked up as it’s made to seem.
@@neox9369in Downtown? Not close to GA ave. We party LOUD here very weekend lol
I love going to Cityplace and catching a movie at the Imax Theater
Ayeee that’s my city! That’s where I’m from. MoCo all day moe 🤪❤️
Are many nigerians there
@@victoriaumukoro116 no
@@victoriaumukoro116 there are a lot of Ethiopian s
Pg > moco
ayeeee
I love the area.
I use to live in Ellicott City and I would drive down to Silver Springs to dine out at the various restaurants.
I miss this area very much. 😊
I recognized at the beginning of the video the building on the right. Great video! You see, I used to live in silver spring, and being a graphic artist, I drew at least fourty buildings while there working in DC. Also at 7:10, I always remembered a fruit stand three in front of the red brick building on the right going up the hill. I even remember buying fruit from it on occasion.
good video I lived in hyattsville md until 2005 , and this video reminded me of the time.Now I live in El Salvador
Nice video, I enjoyed seeing the city of Silver Spring, I lived here for 42 years.
Both Downtown Bethesda and Silver Spring separates Montgomery County from the rest of counties. The most urban County in the DMV. Only Arlington comes close!🤔
View Master silver spring isnt urban
@@basdost266 Silver Spring* is indeed urban... *Silver Spring* and all small cities like it, are called *Urban Edge Cities* which sits in close proximity to a larger city eg. *DC* 🤔
View Master do you know if apartments are expensive in Silver Spring?
@@sweethartia Most of the newer ones are pretty expensive, however there are apartments to fit your budget and personal income. The cheaper ones are generally outside the downtown proper. Here's an apartment locator and price calculator based on what you're looking for....www.coresilverspring.com/apartmentsearchresult.aspx?Bed=1&rent=&MoveInDate=&myOlePropertyId=649041&UnitCode=&control=1,
View Master thank you very much I’ll check it out
can’t wait to look back at this video in 10 years
Brings back so many wonderful memories 💕love MD. That Regal is still my favorite movie theater. (I’m a UMD alumni).
nice video. lived in silver spring for 6 years. i still visits often with my wife. I like going downtown silver spring
Thanks Luis!
nice looking town
I love you Silver spring Maryland! Thi is life.
Driving through my hometown.
Yes, enjoyed the video. Want to see also towns near the city of Maryland.
I was born and raised in S.S., MD - don't remember having a downtown, just all suburb. Downtown meant D.C., and Georgetown was the hip place to go.
Left when I was twenty-three, right when the streets were all torn up, as they were building the subway system in D.C.
I don't recognize any of this at all - strange.
I'm just as surprised bout this too
I always describe S.S. to people as a town or a little borough because I remember the suburbs, not this city. If you wanted a city you crossed the border into DC. This was a total shock for me to see.
@@bitchlasagna1 We had McDonalds, JC Penny and Tastees dinner. That was downtown Silver Spring when I grew up. LOL
I lived in Silver Spring 30 years ago, but it seems as it was yesterday. I lived on Cameron Street. The apartments where I live are not there anymore. I remember the Twin Towers apartments and many other places that appear in the video. Thanks for sharing it.
I lived close by there in Takoma Park... City Place Mall was always a hang-out spot.
This was a light day in this area. Holy crap I can't make a right off 2nd to East West Hwy without 800 people in the crosswalk blocking my turn. Nice you got the Silver Theater on cam and city place (AKA Hechts if your pre 90's resident).
Maybe this was on a weekend
@@priyamason7365 Maybe a Sunday morning lord knows what year.
The courtesy situation ever at 6:07
Was it Sunday morning?
thank you, my friend.
This was awesome. Home city
Grew up around here, graduated from Einstein in 99 and left DMV in 2000. Looks so different now.
Gaithersburg High school '06
Thinking of living there in the future... Can you pls tell me about the place?
Grew up here.....on Bonifant Street in the 60's and early 70's. Watching this mess that is now Silver Spring makes me want to cry. Those who are angered by this likely never knew what a great place it was with mom and pop businesses, soda counters, Silver Theater with stage shows before the movie....lighting bugs everywhere in evenings, Hecht Co. Windows with animated displays at Christmas time ( opps holiday time) ....great place for children to grow up.....Just another nameless carbon copy city now.....glass buildings, box stores, national soulless chains and concrete parking garages.
Dan OBrien wow! Thank you for sharing this sir. I’m from silver spring Maryland but I had no idea it used to be so nice. It’s kind of reminiscent of a once beautiful city that has lost its true beauty. And while it will always be my home I doesn’t hurt to reflect on what it once was
And is it good to live with family and does this city have a good income?
@@Raminahmadi8848yea it’s right above DC it’s a pretty cool area but there’s also frederick that’s growing and is better imo
Looks nice !
😂😂😂
Very nice 👌👍
Fleetwood mac wrote a song about it, inspired by a sign stevie nicks saw while driving, Silver Springs
Wow i go there!!! Georgia avenue silverspring
hi, watching your videos i am totally amazed by the quality. can you tell me a little about the camera setup and how to reach that quality? what kind of camera are you using, do you have any camera stabilizer? thanks! :)
My dream place.
Seems like a beautiful city
I LOVE MARYLAND MY HOME STATE♥️♥️. WILL BE COMING THERE SOON W/THE FAMILY #BALTIMORE💓💓❤️
I have driven every road here for the past 10 or so years. I work out in Silver Spring. It's so weird seeing a video of it and thinking "I know this building. I know that building".
looks like a nice city I wouldn't mind living here
Agreed - DC has some great places to live surrounding it!
Wayne Eaddy omg I live there and I recommend the are with the movie theater and cold stone
Ajie I’m thinking of moving here!
It’s amazing
Yeah just don’t live near Manchester rd, and near piney branch then you should be good
Meu sonho um dia ir nessa cidade tão linda tenho muitos amigos aí
DTSS current resident( but I’m originally from the area and wow it’s amazing how much has changed since 2016…half the stores shown are gone or the apartments being built are now “old” lol
I love ❤️
I loveeeee silver springs
You have a video of before they remodeled the city... early 90's?
Hope to move there one day.
Hello handsome 😍......are you doing I hope everything going well text me on hangout bellabath3@gmail.com
What i call home lol
Im considering moving here from Long Island is it a good and safe place to live?
The public schools are pretty bad. Bethesda MD is a better place if you have family.
Silver spring is nice, I live in white oak
Patriotis its all Montgomery county public school
Chili _boi wym montgomery county has really good schools
So I'm guessing you rent a car in each city?

Silver Spring and Bethesda are two of the most urban areas in Maryland , yet neither are incorporated cities.
Germantown as well and you mean in Montgomery county.
this is exactly like London uk
People with thumbs down👎 must be from VA

He good do I think
LA fitness that is where i worked out
Remember when they were Bally Total fitness?
And Holiday Spa before that?
And Jack LalAnne Gym before that?
That’s my city
Its DC light. Sad to see how the money grab destroyed the old downtown. Having been born there, in the late 50s, and raised there, most of the DC suburbs lost their identity with the massive influx of outsiders , starting in the 1950s. Then the 2nd and most devastating demolition phase starting in the 80s- present. But this is even worse across the DC line, where the carpetbaggers gobble up all the property and build the same 12 storied glass box, one next to another.
Thats where my father lives crazy right
Iike merilande
*Maryland
Nice video. Next step. Get a mic.
Kenny G Choonit it's a built in mic, how do you think he got the sounds from ? Holywood's sfx?

What a barren God-Less city, all that driving around and not one church or church steeple to be found and not one sign of a single person having fun.
VLHHWOOD1626 there is a church he just didn't go past it
There are loads of churches in Silver Spring, but they are no longer in the downtown area due to congestion and lack of parking, they have relocated out in the suburbs. New Hampshire Ave. in Silver Spring is called the "Highway To Heaven" because of the many churches along that road!
hi tanks for the vedio can you pelese
your email
This mindless urban sprawl is Silver Spring, Maryland?! Where the red Hell am I? I was looking for referential points like the Blair Park Giant store, but finding none. I remember a place where you could see the sky because the buildings on the streets were only one or two stories (although Hecht's, Jelleff's, and Penney's were taller), and you could get frozen custard at the Reindeer or Polar Bear stores. I do note the articulated buses, but they look like ads for graffiti artists instead of the old, conventional D.C. Transit buses.
The streets are positively horrible, and do not proceed in a straightforward fashion but seem to veer around, almost in circles. Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road are unrecognizable; if I were there now, I would be paralyzed, because I wouldn't even know where I was! Thomas Wolfe was right - "you can't go home again," and I know that I never will; instead, I will travel the long-gone roads, and visit the long-gone places, that live in the world of memory...
