Either we (MoCo) have the Amish market or we don't. Maryland isn't affected positively or negatively because it keeps the Amish market regardless.<BR/><BR/>If PG County wants to build a second Amish market, I fully support their efforts.Sligohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18201229508558436514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-23581308785037527262007-06-08T00:15:00.000-04:002007-06-08T00:15:00.000-04:00How about we work to improve MD as a whole and then no one has to complain about neighboring counties anymore?

Not much is there, except prime riverfront real estate and some (former) tobacco farms.<BR/><BR/>Until the 1980's, Amish farmers sold a fair amount of tobacco at the Upper Marlboro auction market. The PA Amish would be much closer to their brethren if the market is relocated Upper Marlboro as there are many Amish in Charles, Calvert & St. Mary's counties.PGCistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-53342850296588534392007-06-07T11:27:00.000-04:002007-06-07T11:27:00.000-04:00Perhaps, but they have to get there first.

It was rural, but is now filled with million-dollar McMansions. In fact, it looks a lot like parts of East MoCo. I don't think the Amish have gotten buggy-jacked here.<BR/><BR/>This kind of talk makes me wonder if we are worthy of that amazing Dutch Country Farmers Market.

Amish, please come to Upper Marlboro. Gorgeous Prince George's needs you! <BR/><BR/>It kind of annoys me, that until very recently, PG county has had ZERO high end retail/eateries.
