Capitol Heights, Md. (AP) -- The last known working farm inside the Capital Beltway has been sold to a developer planning to build a strip mall.
The 35-acre Prince George's County farm has been in Duane Dickerson's family since the 1880s. But the 62-year-old said he is leaving because of a lack of profitability, along with increased population and increased crime inside the Beltway -- a freeway that encircles the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
