Slán Agus Beannacht a/k/a Goodbye, Buds

Route-One-Fun-goodbye

Thank you all for your support of and love for Route One Fun! From a wee blog that started with just a couple of subscribers to a hyperlocal website that even folks in DC talked about ;), I’ve been both tickled and humbled by its success. I look forward to spreading the good word on a larger scale now with the Arts & Heritage Division of the Prince George’s County Department of Parks & Recreation!

“The Big Tuna” is coming to Route 1

The Big Tuna. No, it’s not a new Subway sandwich, although it is occurring near a Subway store…. The Big Tuna is a giant, portable, woodblock printing press that reels off large-scale versions of area artists’ block prints. This touring hunk of artistic love is making a two-day stop at Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center in Hyattsville on October 9th and 10th.

Lewisdale: Blessings, Bricks and Pierre L’Enfant

Lewisdale, Maryland

A while ago, a dear bud asked me if I knew much about Lewisdale, her lifelong home. After all, I’ve been highlighting the Route 1 Corridor for five years now; surely I could wax lyrical about this nearby, tight-knit community sandwiched between West Hyattsville and Adelphi. “Durr, I know Lewisdale. It’s the home of my favorite thrift!”, I responded. “No, you do not know Lewisdale,” she said, meeting my internalized side-eye with a deserved, external one. And Yolanda Rivera-Quintanilla was right.
