Recent News – August 2016

Hello Everyone!

For the inaugural post of this blog, I thought I’d start off with a post that characterizes what kind of articles I’ll be writing. These posts will be a reflection on the various places in and around the Southern Maryland area rating places on the experience that I have there.
