That is typical for a Tuesday night I was told to see three tables full of knitters, so full that people had to draw up extra chairs and wedge themselves in at the corners of these table any way they can dodging plates of food and wine glasses etc and knit all at the same time.
I get just about 6 knitters at the most on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month that I hold my knitting group. We sometimes have to join 2 tables together.
This place is called Adega Wine Cellars in downtown Silver Spring, (MD suburbs neighboring on DC) my town for the last 9 years. This downtown area has around Adega has seen a huge change that ended in about 2000 and was onc of the crowning achievements of the administration of our previous county executive Doug Duncan a true visionary for renewal. This and the revitalization of the Strathmore music hall in neighboring Rockville, which now has concerts again. He contributed a lot to making our county a great place to live. This area is very attractive now in a downtown that was stagnating and a bit decayed. This area of several blocks was demolished and blossomed anew with 2 cinemas and a stage for plays, endless great dining choices including Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, parking garages, apartment buildings close in to all this vitality, Pier One, a gym and pool, Whole Foods Market, hardware store, fashionable clothing store for women, convenient hardware store, Adega Wine Cellars (where you can have wine by the glass or buy the whole bottle, full cafe style menu and table space ideal for knitters, scrumptious deserts) Baja Fresh for great freshly made Mexican food.
This area is always popular but is jam-packed with people on Friday and Saturday nights dining out, grocery shopping at Whole Foods Market and going to the movies.
