Fresh Fare, Fresh Perspective, Refreshing Rain

Five things you need to know today in Riverdale Park and University Park.

1.) AROUND TOWN » It's Thursday and that means fresh produce in Riverdale Park. Stop by the market today from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

2.) YOU SAID IT » Jonathan Ebbeler Given the arts tilt in this area I am shocked someone has not put in or at least suggested to do a 'Cork and Canvas' or something to that effect. http://www.corkcanvas.com/ The area has a decided lack of not only kid entertainment venues but also adult and we self-create much of the traffic problem by getting in our cars to motor to other counties that have the retail/commercial and entertainment offerings we crave. A suggestion for the vacant storefront on Baltimore Avenue in Riverdale Park.

3.) WEATHER » Today’s rain might come during the day, but it’s more likely to arrive at night, according to the National Weather Service. There’s a 30 percent chance of rain after 2 p.m. but a 60 percent chance after 8 p.m. Accuweather.com, however, reports that flooding may be possible in streets and areas with poor drainage. Highs during the day will be in the high-80s and evening lows will be in the low-70s. Take a look at the week ahead here.
