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.

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.

Do you mean juvenile?

I am Jewish and well aware of what the term ghetto means and stands for. I will throw it around all I want. Thank you.

Yes, that is what I meant. J-U-V-E-N-I-L-E. Juvenile.

Definitly spoiled.

Say, could we go back to arguing about Maryland vs. Virginia? That was pretty amusing.

ANYWAY, back to what people like about Maryland....(and haters, please go post in the stuff-people-don't-like thread)


I like Annapolis. It's pretty and a neat place to visit.

I like Gunpowder Falls State Park.

I like Greenbelt Park. It's a national park right near the DC metro area, and a great place to do a trial run camping with little ones. Forget something? Someone not feeling well? Realize you have no idea how to work your camp stove? You can go home!

Lexington Market

Takoma Park Farmer's Market

The Glut in Mount Rainier

My crazy neighbor with the five Salukis

Cabin John Park

Freestate Sports Arena

Johns Hopkins

American Visionary Art Museum

Baltimore Museum of Art

The Walters Art Gallery

The Baltimore Aquarium

Joe's Movement Emporium and World Arts Focus

I can paint a mural on my house and my neighbors think it's cool.

Hey, full congressional representation! (sorry, DC. I love you and all...)

We are going to have to try Cabin John Park since two people have recommended it. Isn't there a train there?

[Anonymous]

There is! It is a seasonal train, however, and I have no idea what the season is. There is also a crazy talking pig head recycling compactor thing that is funny/creepy/cool right by the train.

Looks like it runs through October.

Is this the crazy pig thing?

Hey, we don't mind you guys having full representation. Wyoming (population 493,782 in 2000) really pisses me off, though!

I like that I don't have have to pay taxes every year on a car that I already own.

I love that I do not need emissions and a safety inspection every year.

I love that most neighborhoods have sidewalks and are accesible to the metro train and bus.

Wheaton Park has a great old train too. Plus, a couple of cool slides.
