I live in Calvert and personally don't have a problem driving elsewhere for stuff.

Still doesn't bother me because any business looks at the population, income and other demographic information when considering opening up shop somewhere, and I like our now somewhat rural area.
Yes, there is some justification for the complaint. But seldom I go outside PG to buy things. I do like exploring different places and don't have to have everything down the street from me. But I don't have to shop at Nordstrom's or Saks either. I like Macy's and it's here. I can shop online and find a free shipping deal. I can cool it on the shopping b/c these economic times are tough (which is what I do now). But I also try to spend my money here as much as I can for the basics.

I've found the big box stores in PG to be very small.

Both Macy's and Best Buy at BTC are tiny...very limited selection.

And, if I can open a packet of meat and sniff it while still in the store, I would have a better idea about freshness. I don't think the store would want me doing that. And it's hard to sniff wrapped meat.

Veering a tad off-topic, aren't we?
I guess you had bad luck, but they must be doing something right, if they're taking business from Giant and Safeway.

Good question, although most of what's happening is actually Largo, just the UM post office address.

Rosaryville is considered part of the unincorporated part of UM. I used to live in that area. Overall nice and quiet, with a lot of trees still left. A few rowdy folks in the surrounding neighborhood, but a murder there is very surprising. I don't know what the heck is going on.

NBC4 reported two days ago that in Jack Johnson's state of the economy address, there will be a 100+ mil deficit, and he plans on cutting the police force.

Try Northern Calvert County! It is better than what you will find in PG. The school system is just great and it is quiet. A great place to live.
