[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever Annapolis lacks in dialect, Glen Burnie, Pasadena (AKA Dirty ‘Dena), Odenton, Gambrills, Crownsville, Edge”Wooder” and others more than compensate.

Sorry, no. Odenton and Gambrills aren't lumped into this group, people in this area don't "warsh their clothes in the wooder." [/quote]

Odenton, AKA “Odorton,” spelled backwards is “Noten a’ do,” definitely has  some Bawlmoreese going on.  There is also some redneck, Obama hatin’, crab pick in’ rednecks.  You can’t be that close to Glen Burnie and escape it.  It’s definitely a weird mix, kind of like Waldorf.  You have the natives, lots of fed and military transplants and lots of people who have fled cities for the suburban life.[/quote]

You’ve got to be kidding. Going to Annapolis feels like watching a theatrical musical that takes place in 1965. It’s a mixture of working-class waterbillies, affluent old money whites who are culturally the same as the waterbillies but wealthier, and minorities concentrated in public housing out of sight and out of mind. It’s the most hyper-segregated part of Anne Arundel County as well. The current AACPS redistricting is getting very controversial because it might tackle segregation between Annapolis and South River High Schools — something neither side is happy about. Private school usage among whites in Annapolis is high. Annapolis is a southern city at its core.

Crofton and Odenton are newer suburbs that are very much along the path of suburban sprawl out of DC. More of the upper-middle-class Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indian immigrant families in Anne Arundel County choose to move to communities like Crofton and Odenton because of their schools and their commuter friendliness to DC and Fort Meade.[/quote]
