[quote=Anonymous]Frostburg, which is a twenty minute drive west of Cumberland and also in Allegany county, is a cute town - I’m the notorious western maryland stripper mom lol (never did strip! Imagine that) - and I couldn’t agree more with the OP. I lived there for four years and came to observe the following: (a) the locals are EXTREMELY insular and wholly distrustful and hostile to outsiders, which is an attitude common to Appalachia generally. (B) During Christmas, I would meet people who’d grown up locally but bolted as soon as they were college aged. Anyone with potential leaves and does not come back - major brain drain. As a result, there’s just not enough of an economic/intellectual base to build upon. Fun stat: 3/4 of Allegany county children qualify for free and reduced lunch. [/quote]
