I live in Baltimore. Where is this "Maryland" place of which you speak?
ReplyDelete5:28. People in Salisbury are asking the same question.
DeleteMd.still sucks.
ReplyDeleteMaryland sucks I can't wait to get out of here.
ReplyDeleteWasn't there another list just a few days ago where Maryland was ranked in the 30's. These lists are useless. Change the weighting of one category by just a small amount and you can change the ranking by 10 spots.
ReplyDeleteI moved away from Salisbury in December and am very happy I did.
ReplyDeleteHighly recommend it.
Maryland on the other side of the bridge is more important...that is until summertime when this side of the bridge is noticed for (4) months.
