Okay - What do you like about Maryland?

[Anonymous]

NOTHING. We moved/worked in MD when we first moved to the area and were literally about to quit our first major jobs and move home because we HATED MD so bad. The traffic, the people, the roads almost drove us to leave the DC metro area. My DH got a job in Alexandria and we ended up in an apt in Old Town and fell in love. We still live in Alexandria and now both work in VA as well and plan on staying for the long haul. This area isn't my first choice to raise my kids, but it's so much better than MD.

Maryland has GREAT private schools. Virginia not so much.

Nothing. The colleges suck. The traffic sucks -- granted, that's not unique to Md.
The houses are overpriced. Taxes are too high. People are too liberal. If you are a wealthy WASP, you'll feel much more comfortable in Virginia.

Did someone already mention the Eastern Shore?

Not an alum, have no dog in that fight, but the U. of Md doesn't suck actually.

I guess you gotta invest in the private when public sucks so bad. I guess maybe they should raise taxes even more.

MD had more top public schools than VA did this year. Check yo facts byotch!

And I think it is Fairfax that is making all sorts of cuts to their educational funding. Slashing the public school budget. Poor Nova kids.

Ghetto? Can you say Woodbridge, Springfield, Fort Belvior? If those places are not ghetto than I do not know what it. Actually I do know what else is - Winchester.

Maryland Science Center
Downtown Bethesda
Cabin John park
Left-turn lanes everywhere
Legible road signs
(Can you tell I'm from Boston?)

Winchester Ghetto? You haven't done much traveling. To really call much in the burbs ghetto is pretty funny. I'm originally from S. Africa, try visiting some of the shanty towns in the Cape or Jo'burg and you might then have a perspective on "ghetto". Better yet, just rent the movie Tsotsi. You could also learn a thing or two from the Brazillian movie "City of God".

honestly, Americans just look silly when they coin nice areas "ghetto" real "ghetto" people would love to live in that level of safety. It sure is a lot better than not having a sewage system, so the feces just runs through gutters in the streets, spreading disease and where you have to pump your water from a common well that you share with a few hundred of other people. THis is real urban "ghetto".

Please stop with the ghetto as it relates to suburbia regardless of the state. You sound spolied and its not becomming.

PP - the my reply was in response to the poster who called the entire state of Maryland ghetto... Did you not see that? So get over yourself. You sound righteous.

I have traveled the world, been to Brazil, and I understand ghetto. Thanks for the lecture though. Appreciate being put in place and you trying to censor a debate on Maryland.

You sould even more of a spoiled American. Again, regardless of the state you should not throw around the term ghetto.

Both of you are extremely jeuvenile and I was responding to both of you, if you did not notice.
