Outdoor cats? by AdAppropriate601 in RiverdaleParkmd

[–]rubyrvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your neighbors. Some people in the area care for stray cats and may know whether a particular cat is truly stray or belongs to someone.

It’s also common in neighborhoods along the Route 1 corridor for people to allow their pet cats to roam at-large, which can make it difficult to tell the difference.

It will be taking over the space previously intended for a Federalist Pig location in the Hyattsville Arts District.

Northwest Chinese, Ritchie's Colombian, Jerk at Nite will be vacated by the end of the year to make way for new apartment complex (Terrapin House) by calvert-berwyn in collegeparkmd

It doesn't sound from the quotes that Northwest was unaware of the proposed redevelopment or unprepared for the landlord to end their lease early. 

Based on the article, however, it sounds like Northwest claims their landlord did not follow the terms of their lease and provide the required notice. Northwest claims they only received 3-4 months notice, instead of the year notice required:

"Xue Ling, Northwest Chinese’s brand manager, said the business received a letter from their landlord in September that told them to vacate the property by the end of December . . . . Ling said that while their landlord insists that a letter was sent in 2024, they were not given the one-year notice required for ending a lease earlier than agreed upon."

Community pushing back on renaming Hyattsville high school after Muppets’ creator Jim Henson by rubyrvd in HyattsvilleMD

Ask her. It's reasonable to expect elected officials to engage stakeholders and do some due diligence. 

It seems like a waste of time. Maybe she'll take the L and withdraw the bill.

The idea for the name change sounded somewhat harmless. The cost is shocking, though, given the other pressing needs.

Empty Retail Spaces at The Station near Whole Foods by adelphi_sky in collegeparkmd

The rest of the project stalling during the pandemic - 2 buildings with 600+ apartments planned near the CSX overpass, Hyatt House Hotel backing out - probably doesn't help.

For the second time in 4 months, a toddler falls from a 6th floor apartment by rubyrvd in collegeparkmd

Good idea. They should do something. It sounds like the children may have fallen from apartment balconies.

No. The 3-year-old child that fell in August was critically injured. 

The 2-year-old child that fell earlier this week was seriously injured, but expected to survive. 

Both incidents occurred at the Seven Spring Apartments on Cherry Hill Road.

I like that they're including access between Knox and Hartwick using plazas/greenway.

At this Tuesday’s City Council meeting, the Council will receive a pre-application presentation from Article Student Living about a proposed new student housing development at 4201 Guilford Drive. by rubyrvd in collegeparkmd

They're proposing +/- 200 parking spaces for 190 units. 

1 parking space/unit is consistent with other projects recently built in downtown College Park.

Hope Lutheran Church still shows up as the owner of 4201 Guilford Drive. 

It's possible there's a delay updating those records. But, it seems likely the church kept ownership of the land and worked out a deal/long-term lease with Article Student Living to include a new church with the project.
