Around Germantown (MD) Then & Now by Margaret Coleman

Around Germantown (MD) Then & Now by Margaret Coleman takes a look at what Germantown was like before 1980 and what it was like after the Maryland-Nation Capital Park and Planning Commission adopted the area. Coming from Massachusetts where many of the towns are older than the actual state and older than the United States, I had no idea that towns/cities were actually planned out ahead of time. I really thought that they just came about when people started settling into an area and the businesses just cropped up naturally to service those people. Silly, me.
