My guess is they are talking about the farm on the right side of the road as you go north, just AFTER the Beantown light. They are in the process (or atleast they were last seekend, may be finished by now) of tearing down the house and barns on the property. That will most likely be more businesses. Doubt it's zoned residential since that side of the road is all commercial from the next property all the way down to 301.HunterJJD said:I guess you are talking about the area SOUTH of beantown road but on the north bound side of rt5. If so it has been a gravel pit for years

I used to have a McDonalds across from my HS in Alexandria. We would even see the teachers in there at lunch. They must have made a killing on our school alone.
robbie said:Went to Edison HS on Franconia Road. McD's across the street. Was a long time ago. Wonder if that McDs still there. Loved the area and worked there but when got married, who could afford the houses. I hear Edison won everything in football this year and basketball is on a roll.

The amount of deforestation is unbelieveable yet you keep reading how the local polititianswant to stop the growth that has taken over the Waldorf area. Before you know it I will have a Wawa in my culdesac!!!!
rdkarob said:Once again....you are right, but where do you go? Crime rate in St. Mary's is escalating as in the northern part of Calvert. Sure, could go to Southern Calvert but what a long drive anywhere. Stinks huh? I loved growing up in Charles County. Now I am pulling my kid out of the school system and into private. Terrible!!!!!

Those were the days (lord am I old.) I am afriad to let my daughter out the front yard. We would walk to skate and back in the dark cutting through Rose Hill shop. center. Boy, are those days OVER!!
robbie said:No. I was class of 83'
We moved over here in Brandywine in 89 for the TAG magnet schools, then went to Waldorf in 91 because PG got so bad. Now we can't wait to go further out. Its different when you don't have to worry so much about the schools. I have friends who's kids have 1 or 2 years to go....they're oughta here after that.
