Capitol Heights is a town in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States, located east of Washington, D.C., in the heart of the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. A quintessential suburban community, Capitol Heights has easy access to downtown Washington, D.C., via the Metro Green Line, and attracts many D.C.-based residents who work in the area. The multicultural, predominantly residential neighborhood retains the character of mid-20th-century development, with local commercial amenities and parks, providing a peaceful and convenient living environment. Ideally situated for both urban resources and community livability, it is one of Maryland's premier satellite towns.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
