Downtown Silver Spring's Giant Land Shark

In Silver Spring, every year we have a summer attraction that causes a lot of excitment. During Shark Week the Discovery Building has an ginormous inflatable shark swimming through it. It is quite a sight to see in the skyline at the corner of Colesville Road and Georgia Avenue at the heart of Downtown Silver Spring. The Shark has been nicknamed "Chompie".

I heard a rumor on Twitter today, which was confirmed by Silver Spring Patch, that Silver Spring's Jaws will not be in the sky this summer.

Apparently Chompie is going to be given a rest this year, but the big shark will be back in all it's glory, for next year's 25th Anniversary Celebration of Shark Week.
