KGB Spies Chose Aspen Hill Mall As Cold War Meeting Spot
A new book on the KGB by Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin lists Aspen Hill Shopping Center in Maryland among dozens of meeting places used across the United States in the 1960s. The account notes the entrance to a grocery store and other suburban sites as covert rendezvous points, with locals recalling faint tales of spies and coded handoffs during that era.
