Leaf Springs

The form of suspension that was developed for use on medieval carts and carriages, yet is still used (for some reason or another) on American cars despite more modern forms of suspension.

"And the rear wheels have.. leaf springs. Leaf springs. Let me make that live for you: if you went to your doctor's and he got a jar of leeches out." ~Jeremy Clarkson on the Corvette's suspension.

spring tease

When the temperature in cold winter months is 50+ °F after being in the 30s °F, then returns to cold weather a day or two later.

I am enjoying this 50 °F spring tease in January but the cold weather is coming back tomorrow.

Altamonte Springs

A Florida suburb, about 20 minutes outside of Orlando and slightly cheaper to live in than Orlando. If you aren't rich enough or are too scared to live in Orlando-the murder capitol of the state-you move to Altamonte Springs, aka "The Springs" to the locals (esp. the local teens/kids). If there is a right place in all of the Orlando metropolitan area, Altamonte Springs is it. Positioned in the geographic heart of Central Florida, Altamonte Springs provides a solid base of white collar personnel and support services with the convenience of a location that virtually eliminates the daily challenge of commuting to work. Altamonte Springs boasts a dynamic mix of fine retail establishments, hotels, upscale offices, commercial space, abundant restaurants, and housing in all price ranges. In addition to single-family and multi-family homes nestled in lakeside and tree-shaded communities, Altamonte Springs is located in one of the more affluent areas of Central Florida. The City’s current population for 2009-2010 is 43,243.
The 6 largest Retail Centers in the City:
-The Altamonte Mall
-The Marketplace @ Altamonte
-West Town Corners
-Renaissance Center
-Oak Grove Shoppes
-Altamonte Crossing

"Dude, there's nothing to do!"
"I know. If we wanna find a party or something we gotta get out of The Springs. Let's head for Orlando."
"Are you crazy? You wanna leave Altamonte Springs to go to Orlando! Unless we go straight to Disney World, we'll get shot!"

Silver Spring

A city in Maryland that borders the District of Columbia. It was a "ghetto" town, marked by extreme decadence by the early nineties. After a massive reconstruction effort (which began around 1998), Silver Spring is now a prosperous town; marked with a variety of shops, restaurants, book stores, and yes, a Chipotle. It can be compared to the likes of Bethesda, but it's much cooler. Side note - Silver Spring offers much more diversity than Bethesda.

Person A: Have you seen the new Borders downtown?
Person B: Yeah, it's right next to the new Majestic Theater. Man, they've really changed Silver Spring...
Person A: Yeah, it's awesome!
