• Maryland Gov. Wes Moore Stopped by Hyattsville's Cocineros (hyattsvillewire.com) — Hyattsville diners got a surprise when Maryland Gov. Wes Moore dropped into Cocineros for an hour-long chat with owner Carlos Alvarado about small businesses and community philanthropy. Moore sampled empanadas, tried his hand in the kitchen, and impressed staff by switching to Spanish, leaving Alvarado with high praise for the governor's approachable style and hopeful outlook.
• The Last Days of Mount Rainier's Urban Corn Silo (hyattsvillewire.com) — A longtime Hyattsville resident helped chronicle the story of Mount Rainier's now-removed Urban Grain Bin, a 20-foot corn silo that once fueled eco-friendly stoves for a 60-member co-op. The project used pesticide-free corn and recycled cooking oil deliveries, but rising corn prices and cheaper pellet alternatives eventually shut it down in 2025, with the bins returning to a Mount Airy farm.
• Built to Last: Strategies for Designing Resilient Multifamily Units (multihousingnews.com) — Hyattsville's Hamilton Manor gets national attention as an example of resilient affordable housing, with rooftop solar and battery-backed resilience hubs designed to keep residents safe and connected during power outages. The broader article explains how multifamily developers nationwide are rethinking materials, energy systems, and layouts to withstand extreme weather, reduce long-term costs, and keep apartments livable for decades.
