A city in Maryland that borders the District of Columbia. It was a "ghetto" town, marked by extreme decadence by the early nineties. After a massive reconstruction effort (which began around 1998), Silver Spring is now a prosperous town; marked with a variety of shops, restaurants, book stores, and yes, a Chipotle. It can be compared to the likes of Bethesda, but it's much cooler. Side note - Silver Spring offers much more diversity than Bethesda.
Person A: Have you seen the new Borders downtown?

Person A: Yeah, it's awesome!
