[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Via Google, it's 21.5 miles to Baltimore and 31.5 miles to DC. On a weekend, it's an easy 20 minute drive up 95 to the inner harbor. It's about 45 minutes to downtown DC (but obviously longer if you use Metro). It's clearly a central location (by design) but if you have to drive to a city, Baltimore is much easier. The only reason I ever head to DC is the Smithsonian. I go to Baltimore all the time. However, there are plenty of people who commute to both places daily. [/quote]

Maybe if you go at 2 a.m. when no one else is one the road.  I live in Baltimore and it takes 45 minutes (west side of city) to get to Columbia on weekends (for kids rec games, which is the only reason I have ever had to go in 10 years of living in Baltimore).  My friends complain it is hour plus during their rush hour commutes.  When I commuted to DC, the people commuting from Columbia had commutes only 15 minutes less than mine due to less convenient public transit options.

The schools, however, are very very good and crime is low.  But you have a heck of a commute to either city.[/quote]

PP again, I get the sense that most folks actually work in the Columbia area, or Baltimore County (owings mills area) or Montgomery county, and don't actually commute to either city, which makes a helluva lot more sense.[/quote]
