Having lived in Silver Spring/Rockville, Maryland for 15 years, one of the things I miss is going down to The Mall. Each time I come back, I try to make it to The Mall or one of the museums. Yesterday, July 14th was the day this trip that I went downtown. Here's a photographic accounting of what I saw.
