Join us in Silver Spring for happy hour with Montgomery County’s planning board chair

It’s time for the next Greater Greater happy hour! This month, join us in Silver Spring with special guest, Montgomery County Planning Board chair Casey Anderson, who will tell us about challenges and opportunities facing the county and how to get involved.

The Planning Board oversees Montgomery County’s departments of Parks and Planning. It is responsible for approving new development, crafting master plans that shape how and where new development gets built, deciding where new roads and transitways go, and managing the county’s parks and open space. If you’re interested in any or all of these things, the Planning Board is where you can give feedback or input.

Tuesday, June 21 from 6 to 8 pm, join us at Bump ‘N Grind, located at 1200 East-West Highway. While it may look like a coffeeshop, it’s also a record store and one of the Washington Post’s most underrated bars.

Bump ‘N Grind is a five-minute walk from the Silver Spring Metro station (Red Line). If you’re coming by bus, it’s a few blocks from the 70/79 stop at Georgia and Eastern avenues, or the S2/S4/S9 stop at Georgia Avenue and Kalmia Road. There’s also a Capital Bikeshare station right outside the bar. If you’re driving, there’s free parking both on the street and in the public parking garages on East-West Highway and Kennett Street.

This year, we’ve held happy hours in Adams Morgan, H Street, and Edgewood. Stay tuned for happy hours in Prince George’s County (at long last!) and Northern Virginia.
