    My family moved to Waldorf in 1976. The only people who think Waldorf is a great place now are the ones who don't know how cool this town was before all the growth and crime ruined the place. Yeah it's not as bad as Baltimore, DC or parts of PG county but, if you are from here you hate what it's turned into.

    This video is accurate, but I would have added several things. (1) Half of greater Waldorf consists of the sprawling planned community of Saint Charles, constructed gradually over the past 50+ years (and still growing) which includes several "village centers", each built around various lakes circled by scenic walking paths...(2) Waldorf has a year-round Ice rink (capital clubhouse)... and a minor-league baseball team (blue crabs)....(3) the full length of the paved, Indian Head trail the speaker mentioned, is 14 miles....(4) Waldorf has commuter busses to D.C. (although the traffic is beyond horrible), as well as local intra-county busses....(5) Waldorf has 2 public libraries...one of them is large and modern, and a large community-college (C.S.M.) nearby, as well as a magnet vocational high-school (north point)....(6) Five county high.schools, and the college, have public swimming pools.

    Pretty good, accurate report but as someone who has lived in southern Maryland much of my life, I would add a few things. First, Charles County has quite a spillover from ghastly Prince George's County. Some of the worst neighborhoods in PG County are only fifteen minutes away- Oxon Hill, Suitland, Temple Hills, Coral Hills, Silver Hill, District Heights. Anacostia is half-an-hour away. Charles County schools are terrible. At one time, Waldorf had several strip joints. I don't know whether that is the case today.

    • @slowerlane
      @slowerlane 5 лет назад

      Waldorf schools rank pretty much, in the middle nationally, in performance, and the town also has two, K-12 Christian schools (Grace, and SMCA). I get the feeling, there are often student fights. If people want better-rated public schools, they can move to other counties which either have much more expensive housing, or which are an even longer commute to D.C.....And Charles County no longer has any strip-joints.

    To the person who has never been to Waldorf and doesn't know about what is really going on in Waldorf with the "cultural shift" as you so politely put it... it's more like a take over and not a shift. It used to be pretty rural and safe with acceptable schools etc. It was never a fancy place by any means, but it was safe and traffic was never really an issue. Well my how times have changed. I wish they would just annex it to PG County and let Charles return to the safe, rural and sleepy county that it used to be.
