Recommended by Clinton Yates, Annie Gowens reports on a barter system that allows Marylanders to exchange documentation of "Anacostia Hours" at locally owned businesses in Prince Georges County. A commenter compares this system with a system of "B-notes" used in Baltimore, Maryland:

(The Post asked me for a job description before opening this page. Hoot! The system demands serious-sounding job descriptions, too; there are options for "student" and "retired," but I don't think you could type in things like "beachcomber," although I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who tried. You can't even type in accurate, legitimate job descriptions like "writer"! I told'em I'm an Internet entrepreneur.)
