College Perk - Best News Ever?

Reporting by The Kleinette, Your Resident College Park Afficianado:

I may be the last, but definitely not the first, to see this post on the College Perk's MySpace page.  People outside College Park might not have known the joy of the Colleger Perk, a crazy little coffee house that settled into what seemed almost like a little compound on the hill at the juncture of Rt-1 and 193.  Rumors were that the property really had been a brothel, with all kinds of secret codes and rituals to get in.  I'm not sure I buy it, but, it was simply the most ideal coffee shop ever.  Full of rooms with bright walls and group couches and strange chairs that sometimes included a dental chair, the perk served delicious chai and coffee and eventually even alcohol and food.  It had an enormous white wooden movie screen outside, nights with very local politicians, open mic nights and music.  There was a genuine hippie, warm accepting atmosphere and many a person was there alone just finding their way.  I really loved it.  That said, I will quit gushing, because it had some tax problems and ended up shutting down.

However, their myspace page appears updated and it looks like it might take over:

"A New PERK—Yes, there may be a new PERK! The 94th Aero Squadron abandoned their lease on the property near the College Park Airport. We hope to resurrect a new improved version of The PERK in its place. The new PERK will maintain the same bohemian style coffeehouse—But lots more! The new PERK will offer a spectacular fine dining area, a banquet hall, and an indoor music stage for dinner theatre style concerts. So far, three notable chefs have signed on to make this effort succeed, including the original chef that first opened the 94th We are working with other local groups to include new features such as a green roof, solar, enhanced re-cycling, herb gardens, free meeting space for civic associations and student groups, blues jams, wine tastings, and a showcase of local musicians

 All we need to do now is convince M-NCPPC that The PERK should be there!"

Sounds great doesn't it???
