MGM National Harbor will bring many jobs to Maryland and should give the D.C.-area economy a boost. However, not everyone was in the holiday spirit at Thursday night’s grand opening — a fight broke out during the Vegas-style extravaganza.

lotta nickel slots ?
Didn’t take EBT cards?
I bet they do. Sadly.
“Prince George’s county MD. That county is around 65% African-American.”
I predict the casino will be 100% AA after today and will be closed in 6 months.
The locals have plenty of cash. There is a large black middle class to go with the poor people. Many federal workers and the usual Maryland govt. workers.

Marlen Perkins....please pick up the courtesy phone
lol...
Yep. These fights will scare away decent people.
Anybody familiar with Prince Georges County, who remembers Landover Mall?? That mall attracted a rough crowd, which in turn drove away paying customers. The mall was eventually turn down. The mix of stores in the mall gradually shifted downward. Then the stores closed down one by one.
Also in that area, is a theme park, Six Flags America. I’ve never been there, but friends tell me that theme park attracts a rough crowd, and similarly has scared off ordinary families from visiting.
And this is why DC can’t have nice things.
Feral descendants of L’Enfant pissed about the design of D.C.?
Maryland “Freak State” DANG!
Thanks for the info. about Landover Mall. Interesting site; I see a number of other malls around the country suffered the same sad fate.
Frederick Mall and Martinsburg Mall had the same...”issues”.
Martinsburg has hardly anything left but WalMart, a lovely place where gang-bangers like to shoot each other, when they’re not busy stealing.
The Valley Mall in Hagerstown is still making out, with relatively few ‘youth’ problems, although, on principle, I loathe malls and only go in when absolutely necessary.
Couple times a year, because Vitamin World and Hot Topic are in there.
Zip in, zip out.
” Most people who grew up in the DC areas in the 1950’s and 60’s spent some time at Hot Shoppes. “
I sure did. And I didn’t know that Hot Shoppes was gone until I read this.
It was commonly called the Blackflint Mall in contrast the White Flint mall (legitimate name) located nearby in mostly white Montgomery County.
