Seems some regulars don't much care for Southern MD or for Southern Marylanders. What's your opinion?
I'm curious. I'm a native Californian, have lived in Charles Co. for less than three years. Other than a good case of culture shock, which I'm just about over, I find nothing wrong with the area. In general, most folks' politics are more conservative than mine; there are more churchgoers, more smokers, more gun owners, than I ever knew or saw back home. But those differences are neither good nor bad. I find customer service in some areas back home to be better than service here, and in some areas it's worse. When I've had reason to call the sheriffs, I've found the officers far less condescending than were the police officers I had to call once back home. Road rage and disregard for the environment are worse here; the air is far, far better, as are most folks' dispositions, generally. I can't find decent Mexican food. But there are so many trees, flowers, birds and critters on my own acre here. I'll take the trade-offs.
