Hey. Well, for anyone who lives in Maryland or has been there before, what do you guys think of Maryland because I live there, and I was wondering how other people (especially those in others states) feel about it. Like do they think it's fun or boring. Also, could you also tell me that people from other states say about Maryland?

In general I think that Maryland is a very nice state. The roads (outside of Baltimore) are in pretty good shape, the people are mostly friendly, and the cost of living, while a bit high, isn't unreasonable for that area. It is located in a very good area, with scenic West Virginia, Washington DC, Richmond VA, and NYC very close by.
I will say that I was not at all happy with most of Baltimore. I was working on a movie which was shot mostly on the "Homicide Pier" (Where Homicide, life on the streets was filmed), and the area around that was pretty nice. However if you traveled a few blocks away from the water, it was like a demilitarized zone. We were not allowed to leave the set and travel to other locations without having a uniformed guard with us at all times. Also the rats were rampant.
As far as what is said about Maryland. Well for the most part I think that it is viewed as a good area for career opportunities that you may not get in other places (due to its proximity to Northern VA, DC, NYC etc, but not really the kind of place you would go out of your way to move to, if you were starting a family.

It's not like saying you live in California or New York. I'm sure it's not that boring...there has to be something to do there. But it's just not that appealing when you hear the name.
