What is the logic behind bringing a live music center to Silver Spring?
Silver Spring has emerged as a vibrant and exciting location for arts and entertainment, with AFI, Roundhouse Theater, Discovery Communications and The Majestic Theaters. It is designated by the State of Maryland as an Arts and Entertainment District and is host to SILVERDOCS – an international film festival that celebrates independent filmmakers and attracts artists, broadcasters and distributors from around the world. But Silver Spring’s revitalization is incomplete and must expand beyond the core downtown, particularly to the north side of Colesville Road. A live music center would round out the entertainment mix, and provide legions of new customers to shop and dine in downtown Silver Spring.
