This isnt exactly true, although the situation isn't what it should be.
Perhaps it depends on your definition of "decent sit-down restaurant"; i
can name a few places in Greenbelt and Laurel which have good food and nice
decor, by my standards. But there's much room for improvement, i agree!
What really irks me is that the more acceptable chains won't even consider
putting a branch in PG --- we could use a Fresh Fields supermarket or a
California Pizza Kitchen a heck of alot more than yet another
Arby's/Wendy's/MacD's or Sizzler or Olive Garden ......
