Maryland???
Have any of you actually been to Baltimore???
It's like Newark, New Jersey without the pollution...Philadelphia without all of the "charming" people...LOL
Other than that small area they rebuilt around the Harbor, Baltimore is truly revolting...
Best states are Florida, Texas and Georgia.
Believe me, I'm content being a half-an-hour away from Baltimore, a good distance to see a game or go to a museum on a weekend, but I agree, I wouldn't want to be in an inner-city. It's gotten better recently, but most large cities have some areas that are truly revolting. Maryland is great because you can live in a city, suburb, or rural area, you are near DC (always something to see there), and there are all sorts of people. There’s a reason it’s called Mini-America, at least in geographic and cultural ways. Plus, being a solid Democratic state is always a plus.
