📰 News we're reading

• Rewilding Route 1: Merry Mistletoe! (streetcarsuburbs.news) — You might spot wild mistletoe growing right here in Takoma Park, along with nearby Route 1 communities, as warming winters help this hemiparasitic plant spread north. A naturalist explains mistletoe’s biology, folklore, and slightly gross name origin, while reminding readers that its berries are toxic even if its holiday kissing tradition is charming.
