Paper Notes Progress in College Park’s Move Toward a “Real College Town”
The Baltimore Sun, in an article in its today’s paper, has noted the progress that College Park is making in transforming the city toward a “Real College Town”.
The article talks about the developments that have been rapidly transforming the city, especially along the Route 1 corridor.
“A gleaming new apartment building with restaurants and bars on the ground floor has replaced an old pizza place and tire shop. A new Whole Foods will sprout up just down the road. A four-star hotel and bike lanes are planned.
The changes are part of a longer-term effort to transform U.S. 1 — the University of Maryland, College Park’s main drag — from a jumbled mix of strip malls and fast-food joints. After a decade of slow progress, the building spree jump-starts a plan to remake the city of College Park into a “real” college town.” – writes the Sun.
