For the record, I loved Maryland. It reminded me a lot of Missouri...only smaller...and full of crab cakes...and near the ocean.
I think what scarred me so badly was living in the DC area. Had I been able to find a decent job in Baltimore, we probably would have stayed. But Philadelphia beckoned me...*gets that romantic gleam in his eye*...and it went something like this:
"Hey yo! DC sucks! Come to PHIL-a-DEL-phia...you can eat cheesesteaks every waking moment, drink some Yuengling, and root for the Iggles in the 700 section at the Vet!"
Okay, maybe it wasn't quite like that...more like, "God, I f**king hate DC. Philadelphia is nice. And we just merged with that company up in Trenton. I got a job there if I want one...whoohoo!"
When I found out where I could call in my calling area (from PG County), I was stupefied. I could call to Fairfax, into DC, to Gaithersburg, and out to Laurel...toll-free. Then I move up here, and I can only dial within the city limits, lower Bucks, and a small part of Montgomery County toll-free. Certainly a large area, but still.

Plus, the roads are better down here AND we can buy alcohol anywhere we want! :p

Now you know that's not completely true. It was certainly EASIER to buy in Maryland and DC, but until Maryland allows beer and liquor in grocery stores and gas stations, it still pales.
