Oxon Hill is just a dateline for the new National Harbor.

Yeah I saw that after I posted. That is new since I was up there.
Most of Oxon Hill is "garden apartments" and little 50s era houses
that have simply been an extension of SE DC for the last 40 years.

I suppose when the casino goes in there, it'll get some traffic, but of
the wrong kind.

The few times we've been over there to try out a restaurant, the entire
"National Harbor" area was pretty much empty of touri$t$. Plus you have
to pay to park, a no-no for suburban shopping.

Maryland has been tiptoeing around the gambling thing for close to 100
years. Way back there was a very active illegal casino on a pier at
Colonial Beach Va, that was technically in Maryland but it was
virtually impossible for the Maryland cops to get there. After they
built the 301 bridge, it was just slot machines.. For years they had
slot machines in the southern counties and they disappeared in the
late 60s. Then there was the "fire department casino" dodge for a
number of years. I think they may have shut that down I would not be
surprised if they went to full casino operations in places that are
not doing that well, like PG county. I am sure that would pep up the
harbor.

I believe the voters approved a casino for national harbor. There's one
up at Arundel Mills in a big pseudo off-price shopping center. There
also are other casinos in the state, I think, and there are plenty of
"bingo" parlors operating legally. The "too many times" I've been to
meetings at casino hotels in Vegas and Atlantic City have made them into
a huge turnoff for me, especially since they still allow smoking in the
casino areas, and you pretty much have to walk through or around them to
navigate the hotel. Yuck...what a stench.
