    New Businesses Coming to Southern Maryland

    Boring Office Space According to one of the tenants in the plaza, it is going to be divided into two spaces. One is supposed to be a Vision Works. Unclear on whether the other will be office space or retail. I was so hoping for Krispy Kreme!

    La Plata High School lawsuit

    Thanks, I don't know how I missed that. Sorry for the redundancy! I can't figure out a way to delete the thread, so I guess my idiocy will live on.

    La Plata High School lawsuit

    Curious if anyone on here has any insight into this story (on Foxnews). The article seems pretty one-sided and I would love to hear an unbiased opinion from someone with first (or second or even third) hand knowledge. For those who don't want to click, the summary is: "Thomas More Law Center...

    Navy Yard parking for Nats game??

    We have done both and metro is our preference. It's a bit of a hike from the Navy Yard (not terrible, I would say about 20-minutes with kids), but it's free and if you take a right out of the Yard when you leave traffic isn't terrible. Metro puts you right in front of the gate. I think they...

    pool company recommendations

    If people don't mind sharing, what type of estimates are you getting? Everything I have read just says it varies widely. We are interested, but before I waste the pool company's time, I was hoping to get some ballpark figures from estimates in this area.

    Construction on 235 in California

    There was an article in the Enterprise yesterday that said two more weeks. The guy they quoted blamed the weather, saying they got rained out 3 days last week and the two week estimate was dependent on good weather. They do seem to be making progress with the paving now. It has been a true...

    Construction on 235 in California

    Does anyone know the timeline for the repaving on 235? It took me almost 40 minutes to go about 3 miles today. I thought there would be something on the county website, but I can't find anything.

    5 year old suspended for cap gun

    Why? Why? Because I support my kid's school and give them the benefit of the doubt until they give me a reason to do otherwise? It doesn't mean I don't support my children as well--I just don't think the two should be seen as mutually exclusive.

    5 year old suspended for cap gun

    My 2 cents Last week my 5-year old got sent to the principal for pretending to shoot at someone (holding some plastic toy). How did I find out? My 5-year old told me all about it. It never occurred to me to be upset that I wasn't notified prior to...

    Hi, I saw your message and am interested in lessons. I have 3 kids (5,5,4). I am not sure how it would best work, but I would like all of them to learn.

    Have you ever been Polled?

    I got called a week or so ago about Question 7 (the gambling one). They made it seem like it was just a poll, but the questions were clearly geared toward getting someone to vote in favor, so I think it was more a political call than a polling one (i.e.--which of these reasons do you think is a...
