Dickerson Market (22145 Dickerson Road) draws fried chicken fans today as National Fried Chicken Day inspires locals to visit this long-running family-owned spot.
The market has served signature fried chicken and fresh sides since 1949 near Sugarloaf Mountain and the Potomac River.

Maryland has no natural lakes because glacial formations never occurred in the state, and its so-called lakes are manmade reservoirs for recreation and utility.
The Maryland Geological Survey explained that every lake was created by damming rivers or streams.
