The Republic Garden to open in Silver Spring
The Republic Garden will take over the vacant space previously home to Lina's Diner and Piratz Tavern at 8402 Georgia Avenue in downtown Silver Spring. That name is very close to one that is legendary in Washington, D.C. Republic Gardens was a popular nightclub on U Street beginning in the 1920s, and was eventually forced out by gentrification. It is remembered as an African-American cultural landmark in the District, having hosted jazz legends like Cab Calloway and Ella Fitzgerald.

Why not cite your sources? All of the above was openly discussed on the ESSCA facebook page last week. You certainly haven't been to Silver Spring - much less U St. - anytime lately.
ReplyDelete4:36: You're the ultimate idiot, liar and tool rolled into one. As part of my due diligence in breaking this story, I thoroughly checked Google, Facebook and Twitter - there was not a single mention of this restaurant on any of them.
DeleteNo result for an "ESSCA Facebook page" ever came up.
I understand your frustration that I broke this, and so many other, stories as usual.
Haven't been to Silver Spring? LOL - How do think I got all of these pictures to go with all of the Silver Spring and Wheaton stories I've broken while you slumbered for the holidays?
Your self-awareness is zero - do you realize how childish your trolling sounds to educated Montgomery County readers?
