That's almost as bad as saying that Chesapeake Seafood House was high end.
When I was 6 my grandma & aunt took me there for lunch and I thought it was such a nice fancy restaurant. I loved it!!!

HEY we used to go there for the crab legs
Their biscuits are the only thing worth eating, everything else is
Bibs and all.

I disagree. It's current population plus how they planned things many moons ago (before SoMD ever had much of a population). There's more population at the stops near VA, Montgomery, and PG counties. Outside of the red line and the new silver line, none of the stops go very far at all beyond 495, even for more populated areas like Baltimore, Annapolis, etc. It's not like they're inconsistent with how they developed the metro. There are more populated areas that have to travel just as far to a metro in the Virginia area. After you pass Branch avenue, there isn't a reasonably populated area in the nearby vicinity worth having a metro stop at. The next stop would be way down at Brandywine or Waldorf, which wouldn't be worthwhile, even if it would be convenient for our relatively small population.

I don't think SoMD is any more of a "red-headed step-child" to DC than a number of areas once you get a little way beyond the beltway. I don't see any targeted unfavorable treatment regarding access at all. Do you know anything about the surrounding areas that are a 1-1.5 hour drive from DC to make that kind of statement?
You're not missing much, huge menu but nothing is really that GOOD. At least not that I've ever had and I've been to more than one.
There's a difference in how it's evolving, plus the high quality you can now get at home. I haven't seen nearly as much interest these days now that the options at home (don't forget computers) have vastly expanded over the past decade. I don't think the outdoor behavior has magically changed. People have gravitated to doing less "outdoors" and having more access to their indoor activities at home. Plus, with the recent upgrades where you can play with your friends from home, why pay $$ and get in lines? Just because there was a gaming system like Atari doesn't mean it competed with arcades anything like today's options.Might as well have said in the '00s "with the Xbox, Dreamcast, and the PS2 who need an arcade", or in the '90s "with a N64 and a Playstation who needs an arcade", or in the '80s "with a NES and a Genesis who needs an arcade?", or in the late '70s "With an Atari and an Intellivision who needs an arcade"?
Literally ever since "video arcades" (as opposed to pinball) have been around, home based systems have also been around and been fairly popular. The issue with arcades in big cities is violence and anti-social behavior, not lack of interest.
I just have one question: When did the Cheesecake Factory become "high end"?

Question for those who seem to always be in the know. I am chalking this up to my dad having a senior moment but he claims to have been talking to one of the county commissioners (this person is no longer on the board of county commissioners). He said he was told that Wal-mart purchased the land that is across from the old "Wood's Stand" in Charlotte Hall. The empty field that is next to the Cord's Cabinetry shopping center. Does any one know if there is any truth to it? He just will not drop it and is driving me nuts over it, He is telling any one that will listen. I really just want to yell "Will you shut up about it already" but that would be terribly disrespectful.
I talked to two commissioners yesterday and as of 10 days ago nothing has come across LUGM concerning that property and Wal Mart. Given the size of even the non super Wal-Marts, it will cost them at least 5-8 MILLION just to do the required road improvements for that area. All the scare tactics that Larry Jarboe used about Charlotte Hall being over developed with garden apartments like Hillcrest Heights is coming to fruition anyway with every fast food restaurant, auto parts store and nail salon that goes in up there.
