Speaking of Eminent Domain… City Looks to Seal the Deal on #1 Liquors

December 2nd, 2009  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Northgate Park, Politics, Route 1, The Varsity, University View, University View Overlook

Apparently, the city’s patience with #1 Liquors is wearing thin. After nearly a decade of begging, prodding, and cajoling tactics, councilmembers are starting to contemplate eminent domain proceedings on College Park’s most infamous homestead holdout.

The 1st phase is planned to take place by 2010 (directly in front of the University View) with the other phases (including a parking garage) materializing by 2012.
Special thanks [...]

October 26th, 2006  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Downtown, General College Park, Route 1, University View, University View Overlook

Maybe the most reviled building in College Park, the University View has been the subject of much criticism ever since its doors opened last fall. Indeed the building is a bit overwhelming, but the benefits of putting 1,100 students right at the university’s front gate are hard to ignore. Also, the complex actually hasn’t been [...]
