If you walked down Hyattsville’s Baltimore Avenue one year ago, you would’ve passed an entire block of untouched, broken buildings.
Directly across the street from the abandoned lots sat the design firm and boutique Green Owl Design.

They were sometimes embarrassed to invite clients to their boutique and noticed that people rarely walked by.
