I hope something like this isn't clogging the boards, but since I'm new, I just wanted to ask one question. Do SOMD natives realize how beautiful this area is?
I moved here eleven years ago, having been originally raised in the Baltimore area. Southern Maryland is so full of history it's amazing. The natural beauty of this area is unreal as well. In less than twenty minutes I can go from some of the best bass fishing in the nation to saltwater. I see osprey, bald eagles, and otters often. You have amazing old churches, Point Lookout and other great parks, and some amazing arcitecture.
Do y'all realize how good you have it? As a teacher many of the students talk about how they want to leave. I just don't get it. The economy is strong here, and although taxes are high, public services here are pretty good in comparison to other rural/suburban areas. I don't think I'll ever leave here, and my wife and soon to be child have a great place to live.
Anyway, it's good to be here, and I hope everyone had a good day in good old Southern Maryland!
