Over the past two decades, Southern Maryland towns like Waldorf, Leonardtown, and Prince Frederick have grown from occasional getaways for the D.C. crowd to suburbs full of commuters. An area once known for farming, crab shacks, and country drawls is now home to chain restaurants and a rising community of alcohol producers. Wineries have replaced tobacco farms.
