In nearby Washington, D.C., it is a standard warning that you don't venture into PG County unless absolutely necessary, and never at all after dark. "The police there don't take kindly to intruders, and they keep their own blacks squarely under thumb," as one black D.C. resident who used to live in P.G. County...
