[RP TownTalk] more openings at the Arts District Shops on Rt 1

[Corey Slavitt]

I was stocking up yesterday at the Big Bad Woof in Takoma Park/DC in 
an attempt to get get ahead of the imminent global economic collapse, 
and asked when they would be opening in Hyattsville.  First or second 
week in August at the latest, I think, though I was so excited, I may 
have gotten the date wrong!  They are upscale, but my German Shepherd 
Rescue dog just turned 13 years old last week, and I am so grateful 
to this and other local merchants who stock the items that are 
keeping her spry and chipper at such an ancient age -- and also 
helping to keep my veterinarian bills very, very low.  It would be 
wonderful if they were opening in Riverdale Park Town Center, but it 
seems that was not meant to be.  Maybe something else will open here 
soon.   Maybe a week-long Farmer's Market shop like at Eastern 
Market.  Or not.  I love my town, and its Town Center -- even half 
empty!

Dwight & All,

I will tell you that the pet store (upscale) was on Twitter 
mentioning the purchasing they are doing for the Hyattsville store. 
My guess is probably early August, but they seem on track for opening 
soon.

And I like your way of thinking....

Also, supposedly the Tara Thai restaurant and the new pet supply 
store are also due to open on the same day, though I haven't seen 
official confirmation of those.

Now just imagine when our trolley trail bike path is open and we can 
all just cruise or stroll down to enjoy these new businesses w/o 
hassling with Baltimore Ave!

Now close your eyes and imagine when that same trolley trail bike 
path ferries the new residents of the new residences there on Rt 1 up 
here to the Farmer's Market and Town Center businesses (current and 
yet-to-be!)
