my gf, who lives in St. James (the little dot on the map between Hagerstown
and the federal pen!) knows of a great italian hole-in-the-wall.  great food,
excellent service, moderate prices.  they've only been in business a few 
months and are trying to get a good reputation.  i don't remember the name
off-hand but i'll talk to her tonight and post it.  they even have a decent,
though not extensive, wine list.  average meal will run about $10 each with
wine and dessert extra.

you're right about the culinary wasteland! there's a decent chinese restaurant
(go before 9pm) and the usual assortment of Taco Hell, McBurger and Golden
Camel.  *DO* try and find the farmers doughnut shop.  it's open from 8pm to 6am
(yes, at night only!) so the farmers wives can get doughnuts for their husbands
to take in the fields.  it's down an alley but the doughnuts are hot and good!
while you're there ask some of the locals about the origin of the name of 
'Dual Highway (sp?)'
