Tuesday Morning Store Opens in Silver Spring Tomorrow!
November 5th, 2007 Categories: 4 Corners, Home Sellers, Real Estate Market, Silver Spring Bussiness', Silver Spring Neighborhoods, South 4 Corners, Woodmoor
I am pleased and excited that Tuesday Morning Home Goods Store is opening in Silver Spring! I’ve shopped at Tuesday Morning before.  It is a great store for gifts, things for your home and for Staging Houses for Sale. It is a lot like Linen’s and Things or Bed Bath and Beyond, but much less expensive!
Now Silver Springers, including me, will not have to schlep to Rockville or Bowie to shop at this amazing discount home goods store.
Â
The store is ready and opens on Tuesday (of course), that’s tommorow, November 6th, 2007!
This store will open in the building that SAM KUGLER’s House of Linens Store used to occupy at the corner of University Boulevard and Colesville Road (RT 29).
By the way, SAM KUGLER is alive and well. He moved further out Route 29 past White Oak to the Tech Road Business Center. Â

Silver Spring, Md Famous People’s Houses - Nora Roberts’ House
March 30th, 2007 Categories: East Silver Spring, Famous Silver Spring People, Houses in Silver Spring, Real Estate, Silver Spring Bussiness', Silver Spring Neighborhoods, Takoma Park
Romance Novelist Nora Roberts aka J.D. Robb grew up in this adorable bungalow off of Sligo Avenue near the heart of Downtown Silver Spring.  This area used to be known as “Takoma Park” and is now known as North Takoma Park with a Silver Spring Address.Â
Nora Roberts’ real name is Eleanor M Robertson and her 85+ year old mother still owns this house.  She grew up the youngest and “an only girl”, with a slew of brothers, who still live in the area.
                   
 Â
Nora went to Parochial School, probably Saint Michaels Elementary, and then for High School she attended The Academy of the Holy Names (a girls High School on Pershing Drive which is now the Chelsea School) When she transferred to public school, the Old Blair High School, she met her first husband.Â
The family still owns and runs a very successful business, R&R Lighting on Silver Spring Avenue that her parents started in 1963, out of their home.
Nora Roberts still lives in Maryland, since leaving Silver Spring in the late 60’s she has lived in the quaint “off the beaten path” town of Keedysville, Md.- a far cry from the current Downtown Silver Spring Area!

Silver Spring, Md Happy 50th Anniversary to Four Corners Animal Hospital
January 17th, 2007 Categories: 4 Corners, Houses in Silver Spring, Real Estate, Real Estate Market, Silver Spring Bussiness', Silver Spring Neighborhoods, South 4 Corners, Woodmoor
Four Corners Animal Hospital was established in 1957, and moved to its present location in 1963. Through Dr. Rosswell Bowersett, Sr., and Dr. Bowersett, Jr., they have seen two generations of Silver Spring clients. In 1988, Dr. Bowersett, Jr., began working at Four Corners with his dad. Dr. Rosswell Bowersett, Sr., worked daily with the practice from 1957 until his death in July 2000. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him. Presently, Dr. Bowersett, Jr. owns and runs Four Corners Animal Hospital as a sole proprietor. 
Ros Bowersett, Jr., DVM, MPH (University of Georgia 1988 & Johns Hopkins University 2006) is the primary veterinarian and owner of Four Corners Animal Hospital. Ros is a Silver Spring native and graduated from Springbrook High School (yeah! GO BLUE DEVILS) where he was on the wrestling team. Like his father, he graduated from the University of Georgia. Dr.Bowersett operated an ambulatory equine practice from 2001-2005, serving Montgomery and Howard Counties. In the Spring of 2006 he completed his training in public health. In addition to enjoying clinical veterinary medicine, Dr. Bowersett is also interested in zoonotic disease 
research. Anyone who drives through 4 Corners on University Blvd. will recognize the unique and striking Mid Century Modern Building with it’s blue tile and DVM symbol on the front. They are located at 105 University Boulevard West. I have been taking my pets to the Dr.’s Bowerset, Jr and Senior for over 17 years. I miss The Senior Dr. Bowersett very much, but his son is very much like him in many ways.  I can vouch for his love and care of all the animals that come to the Hospital, and ANY animal abandoned or in trouble anywhere!  He’s a GREAT vet, supported by a great staff. So, to Ros and Staff at the Four Corners Animal Hospital Congratulations on your 50th year as (In my opinion) Silver Spring, Maryland’s Best Veternarians!
