Not all it's cracked up to be. Baltimore-Washington, D.C.-Annapolis corridor can be hectic and at times dangerous to travel. Lots and lots of history present in the Old Line State. Hagerstown and Hancock are less tourist-y if you prefer less people, like I do. Very culturally diverse. The education system is so-so. The universities are so-so. A nice state to visit, but I really wouldn't live here.

My hometown is Balto. Md. I love it, but it's not much there for me to do after college. High cost of living. Lots of history. Beautiful Harbor. But its so small. I gave it a "3" for "OK"
