This month has gone by way too fast - in part as our family has getting back up-and-running after a bout with the flu knocked us out for close to two weeks towards the end of January, 🤒 and in part because there were so many neat things going on. 🎉 I do always like to share some of the digital clippings I made from the monthly Laurel Independent, so here’s a few highlights for your perusal from this month’s edition:

  • A feature on Main Street’s Rainbow Florist & Delectables just in time for Valentine’s Day, but also good year-round.

  • A survey of nature getaways around town by columnist Agnes Pasco Conaty.

  • Highlights of the City’s Martin Luther King, Jr. and Black History Month celebrations.

  • Ad for the Laurel Historical Society’s new Laurel Rides the Rails exhibit (open every Fri - Sun, 12 p.m. - 4 p.m.).

  • Announcement of two candidates for next year’s Prince George’s County Council District 1 (covering Laurel) election, Michelle Garcia and Martin Mitchell.

  • Launch of the paper’s continuously updated new online Events Calendar

  • and more!
