Very sad that all of the older, individual businesses are being driven out of town. In that particular block of stores, I'm on tenterhooks and hoping that Lynn Animal Hospital will stay where it is. I don't drive, and it's convenient to have a good vet close by. However, they're not big, fancy, or trendy, so guess they'll be the next to go. A shame that "old" equates "useless" in oursociety. <VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR><BR style="RIGHT: auto" class=yui-cursor></SPAN></div>

<DIV><FONT color=black size=2 face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, A 50+ year old business in town closed its doors last night and the "wake" was grand. Some Riverdale Park citizens, but mostly Hyattsville paid their respects. My only question is: How can one be so passionate about a chain link fence and not blink an eye when we lose a part of our history? I will miss the Calvert House and wish the Salimi's good luck in whatever they do next. It appears to be a pattern in our community to disregard the old and embrace the new. I for one, like old things, old furniture, old glassware, old books and old people. The only complaint I have about old people is that they leave the earth too soon and haven't shared all their stories. Here's to everything "OLD" </FONT>

As Audrey posted tonight the Calvert House, a Riverdale Park institution,
shuttered its doors tonight. Yet it barely received a mention.
Tonight we were all impacted and lost our only white tablecloth restaurant and
instead were consumed by an issue that impacts none of us given the lack of any
active new fence permits. Shame on all of us.
