A Penny for Your Thoughts – News of Greater Falls Church: July 18-24, 2024
Question: What do Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York have in common? A broad question, perhaps. They all have different governance structures, different politics, and diverse and different populations. Some have coastal shorelines; others are completely inland, but the answer is that all those jurisdictions, or portions of them, constitute the 64,000 square mile Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States, and plays a major role, particularly, in the economies of Maryland and Virginia.
