And don't get me started on the drug abuse and human trafficking going on in Frederick, and also Hagerstown, so much so that there are citizen groups trying mightily with few resources to stop these vices. It's a farm exurb.

As Viking2002 noted above, WashCounty residents either lived there for generations, or went there in the 80s-90s to get away from urbane living. Since then, it's become a target for land-use/slash/social revolution, while the old country churches and graveyards are having to combine into two- and three-church parishes up to 10 miles apart, with one pastor to cover all services on Sundays, and musical chairs around the far-flung parish sites for church council events.

As an example of the land-use wheeling and dealing, locals have fought to try to stop additional truck stops on highways around Hagerstown, because they are prime locations for prostitution and trafficking. But of course, the proposals get approved:

Site work begins on long-appealed truck-stop project near Hagerstown Regional Airport
