Just when you thought it was safe to go back to....Silver Spring! This is the sight that greets you as you go north on Colesville Road to downtown Silver Sprung--about a half-mile from our house. The shark's chomping out of Discovery Channel's Silver Spring headquarters to promote it's upcoming "Shark Week" which starts July 30th. According to the Washington Post, all of Silver Spring is getting into the act -- the AFI Silver Theatre is showing Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" through Friday. Bars and restaurants are even mixing up drinks such as the Sharktini, the Sharkbite and the Land Shark. The girl and I noticed that as we were driving home last night that blue lights light up the building at night, giving it the effect of being underwater. VERY cool.
