The traffic on Colesville in that area is already a disaster. Add a concert hall with 2000 patrons a night and there will surely be more gridlock. Why would anyone put a major concert hall on an already gridlocked major thoroughfare? Is there any planning going on here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927807349319882991.post-83841925031580674672008-03-12T15:12:00.000-04:002008-03-12T15:12:00.000-04:00I am extremely excited for the Silver Spring Fillm...I am extremely excited for the Silver Spring Fillmore. This will be great for the community. Local businesses will certainly see the benefits, and our downtown will have a wonderful new, vibrant addition. An entertainment venue like this will be an incredible step in downtown Silver Spring's redevelopment. Special thanks to the County Executive and the Planning Board for making this happen despite some opposition. I assure you that many Silver Spring residents share my excitement!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927807349319882991.post-58857576611802852572008-03-10T11:14:00.000-04:002008-03-10T11:14:00.000-04:00I read the MEMO and frankly it looks like Silver S...I read the MEMO and frankly it looks like Silver Spring is getting a very bad deal here. "It is what it is," is not the type of analysis that says 'this is REAL economic development!' I don't understand why you approved funding to give corporate welfare to the world's largest live entertainment company. With the county's budget facing a multi-million dollar shortfall, this 2 million could have been better spent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
