[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Baltimore doesn't view Columbia as one of its suburbs.

It's a stepchild, unloved by both Baltimore and DC ;)[/b]

I did hear a HoCo planning professional say that roughly 1/3 of Columbia residents work in the DC area, another 1/3 in the Baltimore area and the remaining 1/3 in Columbia itself.

That is entirely untrue. It is a Baltimore suburb and is well loved by many people from Baltimore (who cares about DC ;-)). Columbia and Howard County routinely make national lists on the best places to live. [/quote]

+1  Columbia also has a Whole Foods and a Wegmans now.  [/quote]

I grew up in Columbia and never heard of it referred to or thought of it as a Baltimore suburb.  Parents worked in DC, Baltimore, and Columbia itself at different points.  I really liked growing up in Columbia![/quote]
Well, it's definitely suburban and it's closer to Baltimore than Washington. [/quote]

Only a little.  With current rush hour traffic, Baltimore about a hour away and DC an hour and a half.  Was probably half that for both when Columbia was first developed in the 70's.[/quote]

Right, but if you're working in Columbia you aren't driving into either one during rush hour. During non rush hour, Baltimore is significantly closer than DC.[/quote]

Technically, I believe by the mileage it is half way.  It certainly isn't a suburb of either.[/quote]
