[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always think of Maryland as depressing and dirty.

Back story: mom from was from truly depressed Cumberland, Maryland. I had family in Rockville and PG County (Bowie). Christmas Day would start happily enough then the feeling of doom and dread would set in as we’d have to put out toys down and drive into Maryland for a family Christmas gathering.

I’d usually be carsick en route and arrive to my aunt’s house queasy and sick.

Maryland used to make me physically sick. I still want to bulldoze and power wash great swaths of the state.

Funny, I'm from NY but moved to Charlottesville for a job and although the immediate town was nice, I thought what a trashy, rednecky, depressing state. Like two minutes away from Cville and you see Confederate flags everywhere. The obsession with the Confederacy! It was nauseating. And the evangelical Christians reminded me of the Taliban. Between Liberty University in Lynchburg, and Pat Robertson in Va Beach. All those crosses everywhere!

Moved up to Maryland, live in downtown Bethesda and can walk to work, and couldn't be happier to be around reasonable and educated people who live in the 21st century. Maybe when you get that big bulldozer and power washer you should hit Virginia first!

You realize Arlington/Clarendon/Courthouse is virtually identical to Bethesda, right?  It’s all blue and an even quicker commute downtown with more single family housing stock walkable to things.

And my kids play sports that take me to sh@those pockets of MD with huge Trump signs and confederate flags.  There are rednecks there too. [b] Just not in the urban areas, just like VA[/b].[/quote]

Yes. Close-in to DC on either side is identical.
