COVID-19 has put a hold on many activities these students look forward to year in and year out, but for 16-year-old Mia Mautino, of Spring Valley, this year’s changes have opened an opportunity to pursue her passion and spread Christmas cheer.
Mautino has begun painting storefronts across the Illinois Valley with holiday-themed designs as a way of sharing what she loves to do with the community.
For Mautino, this idea began after her best friend’s dad, the owner of Obee’s Sub Shoppe, located at 113 Wright Street in Peru, asked her to help decorate the store's front window for the holidays.

Gingerbread houses spring up in Portsmouth storefronts
The baking and decorating are done. The official awards are won. Now you can see more than 80 edible entries from the 30th Annual Gingerbread House Contest and Exhibition. Twenty are on display in a special new way this year — in shop windows across town.
The idea of putting exhibitions in storefront windows was actually first conceived when the Portsmouth Historical Society was planning its recent quilts show.
"Unfortunately, the pandemic was just then beginning to grab us by our lapels and shake us, so everybody was a bit too overwhelmed to pursue the plan at that time," says Brian LeMay, executive director of the Society. "But the vision of a town filled with gingerbread grew out of the same notion that history and the historical society are deeply embedded in the traditions of this community."
Mount Rainier Building to Get Art Deco Upgrade
Property owner Daniel Simon is working on some exterior renovations at the three-story brick structure at 3510 Rhode Island Ave. built in 1947. The Hyattsville Wire caught up with Simon earlier today on site where he was working with a construction crew on the renovations.
Simon, who also owns the historic buildings that house Vigilante Coffee and Sangfroid Distilling in Hyattsville, bought the 7,000-square-foot building just before the coronavirus pandemic struck — something he said made things a bit more difficult.
