The end is nigh for Forever 21 in Silver Spring

Here are some final scenes from Forever 21 at Ellsworth Place mall in downtown Silver Spring. The "store closing" and "Everything Must Go!" signs are now ubiquitous in businesses across Montgomery County, where signs of the long-moribund economy increase by the day. Customers have been grabbing deals while they are available, which has been a grim upside for fashionistas countywide. Fortunately, Ellsworth Place has acquired a large tenant list of name brand fashion outlets, and should be able to weather this one closure with Burlington, Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx, among others.
