Finally, after years of being vacant, the quaint old Forest Glen Landmark has had quite the facelift and is getting a fresh start. The structure built in 1918 was Formerly the Forest Glen Country Store where they sold candy, treats, crafts, souveniers, nick naks and at one time had a small lunch cafe. The owners of the former popular Colorado Kitchen in DC have opened a charming, southern style casual restaurant complete with "down home" atmosphere.  I love how they have kept the same basic layout, architectural features and old hardwood floors.  Check out the real stuffed bear on the piano at the front entrance from a Taxidermist in Pennsylvania.

Boundaries: University Boulevard, Colesville Road (rt 29), Beltway 495 and Northwest Branch ParkWoodmoor and Indian Spring Village are the largest of the Legal Subdivisions in the Neighborhood known as Woodmoor.  Woodmoor's first homes were built in the late 1930s.  In the late 1930's, Indian Spring Country Club (now the Silver Spring YMCA) and Argyle Country Club (now Sligo Creek Public Golf Course) were a big draw for this quiet suburban "bedroom" community.  Saint Bernadette's Church and the opening of Saint B's school drew many young families to the Community. The cool, art deco style, circa 1940's Woodmoor Shopping Center at the edge of this beautiful neighborhood was recently restored.  The medium sized, 3 story Shopping Center still has quaint, locally owned well known and long l...

These homes come with a full size washer and dryer in the bathroom off the hallway.
