[RP TownTalk] Hope, Pathos and Tragedy Color Local Retail Scene

[Chris Currie]

It's the good, the bad and the ugly these days in Hyattsville's emerging
commercial centers.  The Hyattsville Life & Times in separate articles
covers the tragic brawl and stabbing murder at University Town Center, notes
the passing of a beloved/controversial Route 1 eatery, and runs down the
list of changes and July openings - three in one day - at Arts District
Hyattsville.   (Speaking of the latter, this issue of the Life & Times is
graced by Busboys and Poets'  <http://twitpic.com/5ooky9> first-ever
newspaper ad - http://twitpic.com/5ooky9 .) 

Also: a profile of the venerable Hyattsville artist who selected the Bill
Cosby family's art collection - and the colleges their kids attended;
invasives vs. natives - which side is winning the ecological war in one of
the region's main parks; a look back at the days when Washington's biggest
fireworks display was not on the National Mall; and more.
