Riverdale Park Reader 2nd post

The Riverdale Park Farmer's Market was held yesterday (Thursday). Simon and I were there and saw many friends and neighbors. Emily of Emily's Dolls had her shop open. She looks great! For those who don't know, Emily had an accident a few months ago and we were all really worried. Fortunately our prayers were answered and she looks better than new! On the down side, we were saddened by not having the Curry Shack selling their food. Seems like the health dept. shut them down due to an anonymous complaint. Seems like Prince Georges County doesn't have a permitting process for selling food at the Farmer's Market. Curry Shack does have a permit for the Balitmore area. Seems like we here in PG could do reciprocity? I am surprised that the people who have been enjoying their food all this time aren't jumping up and down screaming. Where is the drama in this community? Everyone who ever enjoyed a bite of the Curry Shack food needs to write an email to their county, town and state reps and complain about taking this fine establishment out of the Farmer's Market circuit. Yes, if enough of you write, something will be done. Let's get on it.
I also drove by the "war zone" site again and I see pipes and stuff on the Beale Circle park. ...
Don't know if its the developer or the county doing some work, but its worth watching. We don't need more junk on that corner.
Yesterday the hard workers from the Riverdale Park Public Works were in front of my house fixing my sidewalk! I have complained through 2 mayors, 3 ward 2 council members for the past 4 years! My sidewalk was heaving due to the tree roots. It was a dangerous spot and people walking down the street always tripped on it. Halloween was especially dangerous. I was happy to see something getting done. I really would like them to remove the sidewalk and make a "roundabout" like they do in some areas of DC and Montgomery County to accommodate the tree roots but for now I am happy. Now I know I won't have to run out with the first aid kit and have to mop up blood. Thanks you guys!
Don't miss the beautiful crepe myrtle tree on Ravenswood Rd. which was planted by the Neighbors Helping Neighbors group in memory of little Miguel. It is in full bloom and is just fabulous. Everytime I drive by I think of that little boy and offer up a little prayer.
I want to thank everyone who looked at my blog and especially those who commented or sent emails. I am enjoying this. What a fun thing to do. Better than watching TV.
Stay tuned for my next posting. I have a great idea for my block here in Riverdale Park. I will share with you and maybe we can start something. For the good, that is.
