After years of rumors, Washington-area music fans could soon have a new, Metro-accessible venue to check out live acts in newly redeveloped downtown Silver Spring, Montgomery County officials announced.
The Birchmere music hall, which operates a well-known general admission venue in Alexandria, would open in the renovated J.C. Penney building on Colesville Road in 2009, according to a proposal made last week by County Executive Doug Duncan. The Alexandria location, which is not accessible by Metro, would also remain open.
