Silver Spring is an unincorporated area at the southern tip of Montgomery County, directly north of Washington, D.C. along Georgia Avenue. A mica-flecked spring discovered by Francis Preston Blair in 1840 gave the area its name. The downtown core underwent a major redevelopment starting in the late 1990s that replaced aging strip malls with mixed-use buildings.
The AFI Silver Theatre, a restored 1938 art deco cinema, anchors the cultural district along Colesville Road. The Fillmore Silver Spring, a 2,000-capacity music venue, opened in 2015. Acorn Park and Jesup Blair Park provide green space near the urban core. The area's restaurant scene reflects its diverse population, with Ethiopian, Salvadoran, and Vietnamese establishments concentrated along University Boulevard and Piney Branch Road.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration headquarters sits in Silver Spring, along with the Food and Drug Administration's White Oak campus nearby. Discovery Communications maintained its global headquarters here until its merger. The Metro Red Line stops at Silver Spring station, making it one of the most transit-connected suburbs in the D.C. region.
