Takoma in Transition

| | Comments (0)

The everchanging landscape of Takoma Park and Takoma, DC isn't all road construction and "for lease" signs.  Put your cell phone on mute (or better yet, turn it off entirely) the next time you make your way to and from the Metro during commuting hours or as you walk your pooch.  Look up, down and all around.  You might be surprised to notice a few, and most welcome, changes to your neighborhood.

Takoma, DC will soon see the opening of the cafe "My Little Bistro" and a much anticipated addition to The Culture Shop.....a wine bar.

A new residence?  A storefront?  Neither, rather an illusion and a great work of art.  Artist G. Byron Peck's mural on the Kittner Design Studio building in the heart of Old Takoma.

So next time you are stuck waiting for the road crew to turn the sign from "stop" to "slow", look out your window and take in the changes happening around you.....and in many cases, because of you.
