15 Things You Don’t Fully Appreciate Until You No Longer Live In Maryland

Growing up, you always dreamed about leaving Maryland. You wondered where you’d go and all the places you’d see; you romanticized the idea of dropping everything and getting away—until you did. Sure, you probably love your new state, but nothing will ever replace good ol’ Maryland in your heart. Raise that bold, patterned flag high and embrace memories of the motherland.
 

1. Extreme Seasons
Sometimes it’s too hot; sometimes it’s too cold; sometimes it’s both in one week. Once you’ve moved away from these unusual weather patterns, you begin to feel a strange, unexplainable longing to experience them once again.
 

2. Your Choice of Theme Parks
Whichever direction your GPS takes you, Marylanders have easy access to fun. Six Flags America is in-state, and other great parks are just a short drive. Choose from Hershey Park, Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens, and (best of all) Six Flags Great Adventure. Kingda Ka, you and your outrageous views of the curvature of the Earth are sorely missed. Good luck finding that anywhere else.
 

3. Rita’s
Okay, maybe this does not come as a surprise, but it deserves a shout out, anyway. Why are you so far, my dear lemon cream pie Blendini?

  2. I think the best thing I like about MD is the weather in this list. I love gardening but I am a fair weather gardener. The weather can't be too hot. By the time I've had enough of gardening the cooler air is on it's way. I love the winter and could never dream of living without a fireplace going nightly. By the time spring rolls around I'm ready to clean out the fireplace until fall.

  3. left 3 years ago and don't miss any of these, the income increase from paying much less in taxes doesn't hurt either. Owe Malley, Miller and Busch ruined any chance of Maryland ever being a desirable state to live in.

  5. "Maryland sucks." Actually, this state has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, much like the country as a whole, it is those governing that 'suck'.

    Outside of Salisbury. And yeah, inner-city Salisbury, Baltimore, Ocean City and the state govt all do suck BIG time. But the rest of the state has a lot to offer. Unless you don't like fishing, hunting, skiing, sailing, kayaking, seafood, hiking, history, going to the beach, etc. And by the way, I spent several years in 'SWFL' and couldn't wait to get back.
