Route One

by Sage Levy

Route one is the main street in College Park, Maryland, and can be full of interesting characters. The street is home to traffic, retail shops, locals not affiliated with the University of Maryland and good people watching.

Just off route one is a stream and nature area. These two environments contrast in an interesting way. Route one is an integral part of College Park and is home to much of its urban life.
