From an email:
“The Art Room is a pottery painting studio, art gallery, and creative space. Growing up, I loved making art with my mom.

Sadly, as we were about to cross Florida Ave, these 2 or 3 teens with a gun robbed two in my large group of their belongings. This is ridiculous to say the least that these teens did it in broad daylight, in front of children and several homeowners just enjoying their front lawn. 1:00 PM on a sunny Sunday. (more…)
