Source of the Spring

Source of the Spring Source of the Spring covers the latest news, events, and developments in the communities of Silver Spring and Takoma Park, Maryland.

The closure of the Gazette left many Silver Spring residents feeling the absence of a local news source. Furthermore, The Washington Post, the former owner of the Gazette, has been reducing its coverage of local news. Source of the Spring was established to address this gap by focusing on news, people, issues, and other relevant information related to Silver Spring and Takoma Park. Our coverage ar

ea generally aligns with the borders of the communities served by the Silver Spring Regional Service Center, which includes the area south of the beltway, Four Corners to the east, the Prince George’s County line to the south, and Rock Creek Park to the west. However, we also occasionally report on areas beyond these borders. Comments Policy
