The Chic-fil-A in Bowie, MD is at the Top in Customer Service for Fast Food Restaurants   The Chic-fil-A located on 16503 Ball Park Road, Bowie, MD 20716 in Prince George's County Maryland has the best customer service...plus the food is always hot and good.    I remember when Chic-fil-A first came to Bowie several years ago.  Bowie was in need of something new in the form of fast food...and Chic-fil-A was the answer. What Bowie residents got; and are still getting is hot fries, crispy chicken, great shakes and much more!   You would think that when you pull up to a fast food restaurant and see the parking lot filled with cars that you might think twice about stopping.  This is not the case with the Chic-fil-A in Bowie.  With lines draped around the Chic-fil-A restaurant several times... 09/02/2009

Welcome to the bottom of the housing market. I didn't say this -Experts did. But have we really reached the bottom of the housing market? Well U.S June existing home sales up 3rd straight month - MarketWatch. Last time I believed this happened was in 2005. And most of us who were real estate professionals in 2005 knew what the real estate market was back then. I think that we have reached the bottom of the housing market in some areas but not every real estate market has fully recovered.   But is this good news for home buyers in DC or Prince George's County MD? Is this good news for home owners in DC and Prince George's County Maryland? DC and Prince George's County MD Sellers? Or is this bad news for home buyers and/or sellers? I think this is great news for both buyers and sellers. I... 08/01/2009

If you want to be scared to death and have some good family fun, head to the Bowie Baysox stadium for the Annual Haunted House. For seven years this area event has enjoyed the facilities at the stadium, but this has been an area fixture for 22 years. Due to the nature of the images and themes in the production, it has been rated PG-13, unsuitable for children under 13 without the supervision of an adult. Parental discretion is highly encouraged and advised. Portions of the ticket sales are donated to local charities. In the last eight years, Tulip Gulch Productions has donated almost $17,000 to organizations such as the Bowie Food Pantry and Belair Bath and Tennis. Worth a scream or two.
