I live in the county now and when my wife and I talk to people about moving there from the city their eyes always get wide and they act like I moved out of north korea. Our answer is always we loved it but between 2 kids in a small rowhouse and covid we decided we wanted more space. They always seemed genuinely shocked that we weren't somehow stuck in the city.

It's honestly wild how people that live so close to Baltimore can know absofuckinglutely nothing about it. I love living here.

My boss lives in Olney and has never been to Baltimore city. I work in Cillege Park and I'd say a majority of people I have met that live south of Columbia haven't been to baltinore other than decades ago for a highschool field trip.

I mean I get DC is closer but Baltimore is only 30 minutes away. Insane to not ever even check it out.
