[quote=Anonymous]OP, you will get a lot of people here down on Prince George's County. It is majority black and DCUM is, well...not. I am black, grew up in Bowie and live in Montgomery County now. There are a lot of poverty problems inside the beltway and PGC schools are not popular with DCUM, but know that there are some really nice places to live and nice schools in the county. Bowie and Upper Marlboro have great options and you can take back-ish roads (not the beltway) to census bureau and have a decent commute. Race has not come up in this thread, but are you black? If so, you may be more comfortable in PGC, especially as a single mother. Also, you mentioned upthread family in PA. Living in MD will put you 30-45 mins closer to them, which may not seem like a lot, but crossing that bridge in rush hour on a holiday weekend will make you rethink your life choices.

Good luck on the big decision and congrats on not one but 2 great job offers in this market. You must be a great candidate![/quote]
