March 27, 2008 by Admin · Leave a Comment
I digress, I haven’t been impressed with the mall here in Charles County recently. One of the reasons is because they have been doing a lot of renovation work on it, and navigating through a maze of cones and equipment isn’t exactly my cup of tea. It looks like they’re getting [...]

Hilton is coming to Waldorf! No, not the whining airheaded blond bimbo with more money than sense, but the Hilton Hotel Chain has plans to build their first hotel in Charles County.

La Plata Development; How Much Is TOO MUCH?
January 18, 2008 by Admin · Leave a Comment
I refuse to let this be a rant about rapid over-development here in Charles County and specifically, La Plata, MD.
