Hi- full disclosure- my name is Michele Leonardi and I run a very informal
e-mail list in UP- I read this list every day and frequently "copy and
paste" anything exciting that is going on around your town- our community- I
am a native Prince Georgian- growing up in south county (Oxon Hill)
currently live in UP and work in Hyattsville- It honestly never occurred to
me to distinguish our communities from each other- we are all here together
witnessing some potentially great happenings in our neck of the woods and I
love to know what is happening all around! Michele Leonardi

> 4703 Ravenswood, joined in the basement by a common
> laundry area. Thankfully, most of the tenants on my
