I agree with your picks. I'd also like to add the array of food choices too. Just alone in my neighborhood, I can get nearly 10 ethnic foods within 10 minutes of walking. Can't beat that. Gotta love living in the most diverse county in the country
1. The proximity to both the ocean and the mountains. The abundance of fishign and boating and motorsports opportunities, beautiful natural scenery and state parks in all parts of the state.
2. The friendly people. People here are very geuniely friendly and down to Earth as long as you leave the immediate DC area. Even Baltimoreans sometimes feel like small town folk....I mean the real natives not the transplants. Especially in some of the blue collar suburbs near the city.
3. The Univ of Maryland Terrapins, the Orioles and the Ravens.
4. Our delicious crabcakes. They are better on the Eastern Shore than in Baltimore.
5. Our beautiful small towns and rural landscapes especially the Eastern Shore, Carroll County and Western Maryland.
6. Our good colleges and universities like the Univ of Maryland, Towson, Salisbury, Hopkins, etc.
Except for the winter weather, almost everything I dislike about my state and city is due to or brought here by transplants from other states or by illegal immigrants from other countries.
Im most proud of New Mexico for being unlike any other state and having a mind of its own, its like its own little country in a way.
