Spouse that struggles...what's my rights? - 7/15/2009
This ecomony is a big impact to everyone. From financial, marriage, bankruptcy...you name it. Now really what amazes me is the big thing. When someone has nowhere to turn too. I thought there's always authorities that you can rely on. Not in Waldorf.
I am silent now and solve it myself. Struggling financially that even my own office; i no longer belong. My best shot is keeping my mind clear and believe that every problem has a solution.

Extremely Poor Quality of Life - 1/28/2009
Waldorf has suffered from runnaway growth and poorly planned development. The town is a traffic nighmare and an eyesore. There is nothing but strip malls and traffic lights for miles and miles. Furthermore, as stated in a recent article in the Washington Post, the stores in Waldorf carry only the lowest quality merchandise - think dollar store quality. So, despite the miles and miles of strip malls, residents must travel outside the county to purchase acceptable quality goods. Finally, to top it all off - there has been a dramatic increase in the number of violent crimes committed in Waldorf. If you plan to live in Waldorf, you'll need to purchase an alarm system and lock your doors at night. I recently moved away and my stress level has decreased dramatically while my sense of happiness and well being has increased

Waldorf is a fun place to be. Minutes from DC/VA (old town Alexandria). So many jobs sorrounding the area. A new Harbour mall just opened up and more business that still in progress and soon to be in operation.
Andrews/Bolling AFB is 30min/max in distance. Reagan Int'l airport is about 45 minutes. So many things to do and things to see.
If you’re RELOCATING or RETIRING; This is a great place to be.
