The highway to heaven passes through Cloverly. In this bucolic suburban community of Washington, D.C., temples, churches, masjids and other spiritual centers sit along New Hampshire Avenue. Lutheran and Baptist churches are around the corner from a masjid and a Ukrainian Orthodox church, which sit across the street from a psychic shop. “Most of the land being bought is houses of worship,” says Rose Ogbonna, owner/broker with CitiWide Realtors Inc. and a 30-year resident of the area. “More are being developed as we speak. The grounds are being cleared.”
