Yeah, but the part of SE that borders Oxon Hill is still straight hood. :ufdup:

I live off 210 so I'm 10 minutes from MGM, it was crazy watching it get built from start to finish the shyt looks amazing from 295. I voted for it because I felt the Oxon Hill/Fort Washington area is highly underdeveloped for it being so close to the D.C. border line and hopefully the added revenue will help renovate shyt in P.G. and would boost up the value of property in Oxon Hill/Fort Washington. Funny thing is I don't gamble for shyt, but it's gon be lit as fukk especially when big name artists start performing there. They knew what they was doing not allowing free drinks, between Baltimore and P.G. County with D.C. in the cut that's a lot of ratchet ass mafukkas to deal with.

If I were a city planner/architect I'd turn the Harbor out, I drive by there from work all the time just thinking of the possibilities. All it needs is a gang of clubs and bars for club hopping and a mix of high end to affordable food spots running within that empty space between the MGM and the rest of the Harbor. Make it like a fake Bourbon Street or something with all the endless bars and clubs and in the side streets you got food spots to eat after getting drunk. Put some family shyt closer to the Gaylord and other hotels like a Dave & Busters or a playground, add a few big glossy buildings and get some tech firms in to steal some money from Dulles and nem, slap in a Fillmore-esque theater for big time live performances. The Harbor could be GOAT status if done right it's already a clutch go to spot for dates n shyt, it just needs more shyt to do. Hell, they should expand the shyt outta Tangier and add more stores to the outlet, extend the Green Line to the Oxon Hill Park & Ride to ease up the traffic, shyt since they loving street cars so much why not get one from National Harbor to the Old Town Alexandria harbor across the river? lol, nikka I need to play SimCity or something. :russ:

I like your vision sir :ehh:

DC area Sierra Club had an idea for a circular rail that paralleled the Beltway, all the way around. So basically the Purple Line light rail being built right now would come down close or right by the MGM Casino, go across the Potomac, still paralelling the Beltway, into Tysons Corner, then back into Maryland and connect where the Purple Line construction ends in Bethesda.

Again, this was just a proposal, but I looked for the map and they took it down. I thought it was great idea.

I fukk with that idea. Really shortens the time between more far off places. :jbhmm:

I hated the Purple Line plan initially because it was rumored to run through my old neighborhood in Silver Spring. There's an old underground Metro station in downtown Silver Spring off Fenton just past City Place Mall, I bet if they opened that up and made an underground mall running from there to the Red Line Station that'd get some money flowing. The Purple line gotta be done eventually because it's retarded that Silver Spring to Union Station is a shorter commute on Red Line than Silver Spring to Bethesda. But at this point, MGM might've forced a lot of hands to bring Metrorail of some sort over to Oxon Hill because traffic will be an absolute nightmare until that's done.

lmfao, oh nah I'm in Fort Washington. Bowie got a gang of nice food spots tho I can't even throw salt.

Once the Boxing come through that shyt gon be live, MGM gon make them soup the place up more because it look naked by itself. National Harbor skyline could put Rosslyn to shame. I think they do got a boat that goes from Old Town to National Harbor, it's prolly expensive as shyt tho.

True indeed. Yeah man, I am a boxing nerd indeed....I was at the that Adrien Broner v Theopane fight at the Armory back in like May...the Armory was ok, but they trying to build that Sportsplex out there in SE so we shall see...
Actually in my view, they could have made Tangier a little nicer too. I mean its cool, but they should have put some better stores in there. Also, the parking at Tangier is an ABOMINATION...lol
with such limited spacing that they used, it would have been better to build a vertical parking garage, and used the rest of that space going out for more and better stores.
But as long as they keep adding to that part of Maryland and make the central theme..MGM, it can be something really nice.

Yeah, Tangier coulda been way better it's like the rushed the shyt it's still kinda weak. Plus they should've put it within the Harbor so they could utilize the garage parking. If they get rid of that office building next to it then they could do something with that space at least. I hope they keep adding good shyt, they could really make the area a nice spot for locals and tourists.

You can tell this loser hasn't been to D.C. Lately.

SE DC is not what it was back in the 80s and 90s. Some Of the newest and most expensive properties in the city in SE.
This nikka been on you tube looking up Wayne Perry and Rayful documentaries... :lolbron:

:mjlol:
nikka people are getting raped in SE DC near Stadium Armory.
Why would I look at youtube videos to pretend to be from DC?
The DMV is boring as shyt, if I claim to be from here, its because I actually am. But whatever you like, breh.

The amount of lil nikkaz that would flock to a souped up Metro accessible National Harbor would be like combining Gallery Place, Largo Town Center, and the strip in downtown Silver Spring. :russ:

nikka these crusty nikkas be out at the Chick a fila at 7-9 am trying to find girls to holla at. :lolbron:

You can tell they stay there all day walking around creeping but have no money to go inside a store to buy any shyt.
