Wait when did slummy with drunk college kids equal cool? Maybe to bang a coed but would would want to live there? There is a reason it has some of the cheapest real estate in the metro area, lots of reasons actually. |
Sir, please keep your hands to yourself. |
I graduated from UMD in 2010, and College Park has improved by leaps and bounds since then. Administrators are trying to make College Park a college town on par with Ann Arbor, Chapel Hill, etc, but it will be very difficult to attract staff/faculty who have families to live in CP when MoCo/HoCo schools are so much better than PG County. |
Well, that's not going to happen for any number of reasons. Upgrading so that it's a slightly less depressing suburb is about the most one can hope for there. |
Lipstick on a pig. |
Yes, I agree. I worked there for a few years and many restaurants opened. But, why on earth would UMD CP build that terrible modern building on the corner of Baltimore and Campus drive(don't know why they change that street name). Disregard some pps here, they hate everything UMD. |
Still million times better than Lynchburg or Blacksburg. I mean, what's with these pps hating on College Park? It has a gay mayor, that is a plus in my book. Have you ever seen South Bend where Notre Dame is? Why is every real estate thread about MD overtaken by haters? I assume it is NoVa posters who say they have better everything, including Amazon now. So, why post here? When someone says Falls Church is awesome, I don't jump in to say it isn't. I saw it twice! |
Have you been to these places or did you just pull the names out of your ass? Lynchburg has far more interesting architecture than College Park, and Blacksburg has a better natural setting. College Park is just bland and a few rainbow flags and a ramen bar isn't going to make it cool. |
College Park actually is pretty cool now and headed in the right direction - Hyattsville is pretty cool too. Purple Line should make things even better. |
Covfefe Park...so cool. |
When were you in CP last time? I bet you never? |
You don't love strip malls and mediocre restaurants? |
it also has Liberty and both are utter dumps. |
No, PP is right. Baltimore 20th best bar is better than DC’s best bar and I’m not exaggerating. DC is known as Hollywood for dorks / unattractive people for a reason. There is nothing “cool” about a town known for lobbyists, defense contractors and government lawyers. DC actually ran a PR campaign called “DC Cool” to convince people that the city was cool. That should tell you something. |
The mayor of South Bend is gay, too, idiot. Did I just blow your mind? |
