"The biggest kettle of fish in North America"

That's how David Samuels, writing for The Atlantic, describes Maryland Live, the new 52-table poker room. It's a good read on the ecology of a new, large poker room, opening in what had been basically a poker desert.

That is a great read.

I had the same thought as anger....without looking at the map, NC can't be that far away from Maryland Live, it's time for a road trip, Grump.

And anger....Hey, I hardly EVER write about VBJ & VP. What are talking about? :)

You guys need to brush up on your geography. 500 miles, 7 1/2 hours (according to Google Maps). And based on Cardgrrl's extensive experience driving between Asheville and D.C., that time is wildly optimistic.

Well, geography was always my worst subject in school.

But ok, I'm sure there are some nice hotels in the vicinity.

Sounds like a nice weekend getaway for the two of you.
