1) Yikes! Ours only started with 150 or so, so we didn't lose too many.
2) -laugh- I don't know. Prince George's County, MD, butts right up against the eastern side of DC, kind of like a backwards squashed Pac-man with two chicken legs sticking out. Montgomery County, MD, is to the north and kind of covers the north and north-eastern part of DC. I can't for the life of me remember what VA Counties get the west and south-- Fairfax, maybe?
But PG County has a ton of suburbs in it. It's different from Chicagoland where you have some smaller counties with 9-50 townships-- the whole county is one school system. Andrews Air Force Base is also out there, so with DC and government and military people and a generally middle to upper-middle class population, I think lots of people move elsewhere for college or jobs than they did for middle or high school.
I think there also may be a Prince George county in Virginia. Probably also in some other states. Dunno. But the TV news out there in DC/MD/VA calls it PG County all the time. Newspapers vary.
