If you need a last-minute holiday gift this weekend and through the end of the year, you have lots of options along the Route 1 corridor that don’t involve online rush ordering, circling parking lots, or standing in long lines. Even better, you can support the local artists, craftsmen, and other small business owners that put this area on the map.

A number of small, locally owned shops have things for sale that are perfect for the holidays or just as a thank you when visiting friends and family through the new year.

This year, you can also get a discount at some locally owned businesses to celebrate the completion of an extension of the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail.

Through Jan. 6, stop by some local businesses in South Hyattsville such as Maryland Meadworks and Streetcar 82 Brewing Co. to pick up a punchcard that will get you discounts and a chance to win prizes.
