Assuming this to be correct, it is on one hand a sad outcome, on the other a lot less worrisome than the alternatives.

Okay - there was a dead body in the parking lot of the shopping center (Safeway) in Bryans Road yesterday evening. I saw the police, the crime tape and the ME preparing to load the body into their van.

NO reports that I can find on this! What in the hell happened?

FYI - yesterday evening was 10/27/10 around 4-5 pm.

I know the cops at the street level hands are tied - they know about all kinds of stuff and can't make an arrest - I know a couple of cops. This is not just Bryans Road - it's all over the place - a culture of tolerance that allows the rotten to run over the good.

I just wish they could shoot more of these people and at least slow down the activities that are going on in plain site.

Treerat,

Rt. 227 and Rt. 210. The sad thing is some of those older brick homes between the shopping center and the base are very beautiful... it is a shame the area had to go and change so much... :sad:

Funny how locals perceive the area - I live in one of those older brick homes on 210 and I Love this area - that being said we have only lived here 3 years and this area is 10 times better than where we lived for 13 years. All counties have there bad areas - some worse than others.

I live out here too. Seing it described as 'ghetto' just tells me that this person either:
- has never been to a ghetto
- uses the descriptor in the sense of 'inhabited by people who look different from me which makes me uncomfortable'.

The commercial/retail area around the Safeway (just as the rest of Charles County) has been developed in a haphazard way. There are certainly a couple of trouble spots around the liquor stores, the tint shop and some of the town-home developments. But average family income for Bryans Road is 71k, and if you drive around the neighborhoods you see for the most part well maintained owner-occupied properties. I dont know whose interest is served by the repeated diatribes posted by the same 2-3 posters whenever BR is mentioned.

Sometimes I drive around and tell my husband (who is not from around here and didn't live here until 2001) that I remember tobacco fields, other crops, and slot machines all over the place down here - that is felt like country.

Not that old - slots may have been "illegal" but there were a LOT of places with them even in the early 80's.

I do remember the drive in on Indian Head Highway in Oxon Hill/Ft. Washington.

"Borders Shopping Center" was Shoppers World - the place to be on Saturday night!

Drug Fair I do remember but that one was in Laurel where I lived a a young child. I hung out there a lot (only child). The girl who worked in the pharmacy area (Brenda) was great and the pharmicist liked me enough to let me help him fill prescritpions (although I couldn't tell anyone). It was fun to see how that job worked!

When I see the riff-raff hanging around the shopping center, the trash all over the place, the empty storefronts and the types of stores that are moving in - what other word is there to describe that other then Ghetto? And yes - I have lived in the ghetto so I do know what I am talking about.

BTW - WHAT IN THE HELL IS THE CHICKEN SHACK PLACE THERE? I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT OPEN EVER?

I remember Custards last stand..and Xene"s.My hubby and I ate at Xene"s often.I lived in Pot Hghts for 20 yrs.And now in Bryans Road.My daughter work"s in the shopping center, and talks about the crap that goes on there.I work in B.R myself but heard very little about the man dead in the car.Everyone is asking..but no info.Which makes me wonder if this was a local person. Everybody knows everybody around this way and I think a name would be out by now ,if it was a local person.

If you're talking about the Chicken Coop in the Bryans Road parking lot, it was opened sometime last year 09 for about a month and had some delicious chicken. Unfortunatley the health deparment came and shut it down.
