We learned that the Goldenrod Community Garden has received approval from the National Capital Commission to build on a parcel of land located west of Parkdale, just north of the Tunney’s Pasture Complex.
After 50 years in business, the owners of Romeo’s Garage & Body Shop are retiring and closing the shop down.
