Viburnum plicatum tomentosum takes well to pruning, so you could make
it fit your space. It sounds too large to dig up. Maybe if it were
root pruned now and dug up next spring. But you like it so much, why
not prune it?

Satay Club - great neighborhood restaurant

We just finished having lunch at the Satay Club, near the corner of
Chesapeake after reading a recommendation in Linda Hughes News. Despite
the News' glowing recommendation, The Satay Club exceeded our
expectations. The food was by far the best of the Asian restaurants in
the neighborhood, both beautifully prepared and presented. And the
ambiance was smart and relaxing. Service was great - attentive but not
overbearing. They serve sushi and a variety of Asian dishes. Don't let
the front of the place fool you, this place is a neighborhood jewel.
