A Wing and a Prayer

As much as Lexington Park is a naval aviation town, it is also a place of churches.

Starting to ‘Get’ FDR Boulevard

Twenty-five years ago, when fields of weeds lined most of one side of Route 235 and stately homes lined the other, I didn’t get the need for FDR Boulevard.

Where Does All the Garbage Go?

Wherever the new zoning plan decides, it needs to include a trash station.

Disneyland, Disney-Air and Disney-Sea

A couple folks are saying what Lexington Park needs is “a driver.” By this they mean something as big as Disneyland. Well, not necessarily that big, but big enough and snazzy and jazzy enough to get people to Lexington Park, stop there and spend money. Hmmmmm. How much bigger does a driver have to be than the Patuxent River Naval Air Station? Could a single community actually host two such extravagant tenants? Pax River NAS already pumps as much as $6.6 billion into Maryland’s economy (so say a bevy of Navy boosters) and drives 80 percent of the local economy….
