Usually takes 62 minutes in the AM and 70 minutes in the evening, for about $4.00 a ride. Insanity. Is DC, PG and Montgomery really that bad these days? Has nothing to do with bad. They must be bad or you would live there. It is why I left Oxon Hill and moved 20 minutes farther down the road. That's just you projecting your fears onto me. The "badness" might actually just be that people hate living near the city for any number of reasons. The urban sprawl has made the close in suburbs very urban in more ways than just the complexion of the people who live there. I am even starting to feel it here but only when I get up to US41. As long as I go west, I am still in a 40 square mile upland and aquatic preserve where I can usually find places to boat without seeing another soul. It is still less than 15 minutes from an international airport, I-75 and 3 regional malls. |

Thankfully, we are an hour away from international airports, 30 minutes from an interstate, and 50 minutes from an international mall. Close enough. -- Sent from my iPhone 6+ |

There's a really interesting waterfront house/compound I like, and one of these days, there will be a For Sale sign on it, so I can go take a peek. It's a multi-million dollar property, for sure. Maybe not. In that price range they'll likely pre-qualify to weed out the trash. |

The end of the "no wake" is about a half mile and the Gulf is about 15 minutes away from there with plenty of scenic boating in between. There is a pretty much deserted beach right there too. Even right now, in the middle of spring break, you can have several hundred feet to yourself and we consider that crowded. |
