July 29th, 2010  |  by Marcus Afzali  |  published in Businesses, City Garage/Condos/City Hall, Downtown, General College Park, Politics

A local establishment and a powerhouse national chain are both moving into College Park over the next month with the long anticipated opening of the original Ledo’s Pizza in about two weeks and Best Buy slated to open in the College Park Market Place in early September.  I think both will help College Park in [...]

Looney’s Pub Coming to The Varsity

May 25th, 2010  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in Businesses, The Varsity

Still sad about losing Santa Fe? Don’t be. The Varsity has signed up Looney’s Pub to occupy a location in its ground floor retail location. This is a prime location for a new bar/restaurant. As a frequent visitor to Baltimore watering holes in a previous life I can vouch for Looney’s as a great bar. [...]
