Can Happy Hour Wait?

The Silver Spring Volunteer Fire Department says it's in no rush to sell its 92-year-old former firehouse on Georgia Avenue. According to the Washington Post, the department will decide in late October who gets to cough up $2.5 million to develop the 6,000-square-foot property. Ideas for the firehouse include a restaurant, brewery, art gallery and office space.

Given the lack of serious nightlife in downtown Silver Spring, I'm praying for a bar. Preferably leather. With a stage. And please, God, let them keep the fire pole!
