    Opening of FDR?

    Morning All, I've searched the St. Mary's County's web site and found no info, has anyone seen any info on when the completed section of FDR from First Colony to Chancellors Run is suppose to open? From what you can see by First Colony, it appears to be done. Thanks

    Study? They have to be kidding!

    "A bill creating a task force to study cellphone use in classrooms, sponsored by Sen. Joanne Benson, D-Prince George's, was heard in a Senate committee Wednesday. It outlined who would serve on the task force: a state senator and delegate, school superintendents, teachers, administrators and...

    Emegency Responses Last Night

    Now that we've cleared that up... back to the topic. Have not found any news concerning the response last night, I would have thought it would be covered somewhere by now considering the amount of alarms I heard last night. Thanks

    Emegency Responses Last Night

    Good Morning All, Anyone know what happened last night around 7ish? Heard multiple emergency responses in the Buck Hewitt - 235 area last night. Counted at least 4 waves of emergency vehicles responding... hope everyone involved are safe and sound. Thanks

    I would like to thank...

    Exactly, lights turn green around here and people move as if they are the only ones who need to get through! I have a short distance to get home, but it is extended every time I hit a red light. Not by the light, but by the people texting and talking on the phone at the red light who are not...

    Deceptive billing at tidewater

    Mr. Tomcsik, You are crooks! For the 3 years my family used your facility in Lex Park, not once were we or our insurance provider billed correctly! It was only after many phone calls that the billing error which was always an overcharge from what was quoted was resolved. In addition, being a...

    Traffic Lights on Base Prior to 0530

    Anyone within NAS PAX leadership know why the traffic light pattern on base prior to 0530 was changed? All intersections were flashing yellow on the main route entering base prior to 0530 and are now flashing red. Not only is there very little traffic if any at all approaching from the cross...

    Another cross the centerline fatal

    Yes they would.... however, I do not believe there is a presumption of privacy when driving on a public road. If there was, how would local governments get away with red light cameras, speed cameras and such? I received a speeding ticket about 3 years ago for doing 67 in a 55 on Rt. 301...

    Another cross the centerline fatal

    I've always thought about setting up in a chair with a few beverages (legal) in an inconspicuous area along 235 during rush hour and take pictures of everyone on the phone as they pass. Then start a SOMD community Facebook site were I (and anyone else who joins) can post the pictures. Maybe if...

    Yet Another Wreck!!!

    I was stationed in Maine for over 10 years. Even with the influx of summer vacationers, winter months and being as rural as you could possibly get, the accident rate was far less than this area. I witness the locals here inattention to driving on a daily basis, and that is what I believe results...

    To the Cobra Mustang Driver From the Plum Point Road & Bayside Road Area

    Oh, forgot, my first car was a 1972 455HO Trans Am... never a ticket, never an accident... kept the fast stuff to the track like I was taught by my father...

    To the Cobra Mustang Driver From the Plum Point Road & Bayside Road Area

    It's a different time now... young people today do not have the maturity and responsibility we had when we learned to drive. A typical 16 year old back in the 70's and 80's would be comparable to a 25 year old today. Also, it's not so much the money, IMHO it's the mentality that everything is...

    More people driving off the road

    They can get records and it does matter! My sister-in-law was killed by a NYC sanitation driver who claimed he was watching were he backing and following the directions of his observer. All the accounts of the "accident" were changed when he was confronted with his cell phone records showing he...

    Why hate for squirrels?

    So do RATS, but I don't see anyone worrying about them. Squirrels are just tree rats that ruin personal property.... I have the patio furniture and outdoor electrical wiring to prove that...
