On Friday, Silver Spring’s regional center celebrates a sign of the times — whatever that might mean.
Dining: Lotus Cafe
I like the furniture at Ikea, but their concept of self-assembly sucks. Pictogram instructions that make no sense. Extra screws and bolts. That stupid hex key. It’s torturous.
Winners of “Picasso” drawing selected
Congratulations to Susan Carey and Jonathan Jay, who each won a pair of tickets to see “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” at the Backroom at Jackie’s (8081 Georgia Ave).
Council gives transit center financial boost
The county council on Tuesday unanimously approved a $16.7 million appropriation — and then some — to cover the construction of Silver Spring’s transit center.
