Five Things You Need To Know Today (the Hy-Five)

Got the mid-week blues, Hyattsville? Don’t get too droopy! There are at least five things you need to know today:

1. It’s open! has officially left its mark on Hyattsville with a new shop at EYA’s arts district. Patch is going to swing by tomorrow and get some photos. Beware: more adorable dog photos are on the way!

2. The latest details about the Cafritz property are right here, courtesy of Hyattsville Patch’s sister site, Riverdale Park-University Park Patch.

3. Have you dined on the outdoor patio at Busboys and Poets? Looks like some people were really taking advantage of the cooler climes last night, including Hyattsville Patch editor Sarah Nemeth, who walked past these folks right before this photo was snapped.  

4. Amber Waller is holding a meet and greet with her Prince George’s County School Board District 3 constituents. Show up at 7:30 p.m. at Nicholas Orem Middle School to get the scoop.

5. You might want to put your back-to-school shopping on brief hiatus because from Aug. 14-20, you can get items under $100 tax free during this year’s Tax-Free Shopping Week. Thanks, Gov.
