I don't think you can go wrong with either town, they just have different vibes which you will experience for yourself. The community on Solomon's Island that my friend lives in is called Mill Creek Boating Community located off Dowel Road close to Anne Marie Gardens. She also said there are a few other nice townhomes

I used to work down at St. Mary's College and would get down there around 9 am and honestly most of the traffic was gone around 8:30 when I was heading over it. I find that the 7:00 hour is when it's at its worst, however, bad weather or an accident can affect

An accident on it or at either end ties traffic up for miles and hours. Then you have the half dozen times a year someone decides to stop at the top and jump.

If you like bar crawls Solomon's is where you want to be. For a single individual it's a target rich environment.
