I am pleased and excited that Tuesday Morning Home Goods Store is opening in Silver Spring!  I've shopped at Tuesday Morning before.  It is a great store for gifts, things for your home and for Staging Houses for Sale.  It is a lot like Linen's and Things or Bed Bath and Beyond, but much less expensive!

Now Silver Springers, including me, will not have to schlep to Rockville or Bowie to shop at this amazing discount home goods store. 

The store is ready and opens on Tuesday (of course), that's tommorow, November 6th, 2007!

This store will open in the building that SAM KUGLER's House of Linens Store used to occupy at the corner of University Boulevard and Colesville Road (RT 29).

By the way, SAM KUGLER is alive and well.  He moved further out Route 29 past White Oak to the Tech Road Business Center.
