ugh, just what we need. More traffic.
If you leave the southern Maryland area and tell people what town/county you're from, you might as well just say southern Maryland. Nobody really cares beyond that. Same goes for NoChes Beach. It's the same place to anyone who doesn't live there.
Yep. As a non-North Beach/Ches Beach resident who now has parents living there (in North Beach), to me, they are the same place. I understand the dividing line but in reality to the layperson, it's the same place.
Actually, the first time I went to help my parents move in, I followed their directions of "Go through Ches. Beach until you get to North Beach." Knowing that North Beach was the next town north past Ches Beach and not paying much mind on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I drove through Ches. Beach until I hit "open" road again and figured "North Beach is up next." Obviously I had to turn around and head south to find their place.
And I tell everyone I'm from "about 25 miles south of Washington, DC. This is because no one had ever heard of Waldorf ........... and if they did, I surely didn't want to acknowledged that I lived there.
