While living in College Park these past few months, I’ve learned that there are plenty of places to eat, not enough places to shop, that public transit is the preferred mode of transportation, and that I have a good amount of resources to consider for news. Though my life is often swamped by school work and internship duties, during my free time, I haven’t learned about or done much else in the city. If I want to do something fun, my roommate and I usually make the trek from College Park to Downtown Washington, which can be exhausting. We (and I’m sure many of the other residents who live in College Park can attest to) would love to be able to do something adventurous and fun in our own city, other than get something to eat and grab a beer. I started becoming a bit antsy after a while because of this.
However, before I began bursting at the seems, I did some research and found that College Park has at least two historic locations that I was excited to learn about: the National Archives at College Park (Archives II) and the College Park Aviation Museum. To satiate my need, I was looking for something to explore that was exclusive to the city, which left me leaning towards visiting the aviation museum. So, I decided to stop by after interning one afternoon and I can honestly say that I wasn’t disappointed. The visit actually rejuvenated my excitement about living in the city once again.
