Where in MD do you live?

[Zuni]

I live in a condo in the city of Annapolis. I work right downtown.

[displacedtexan]

1. Downtown Baltimore

on the western edge of the Mt. Vernon neighborhood.

[Zuni]

2. I love Baltimore

They have done a remarkable job downtown. I remember when dfowntown used to be pretty skeezy. Fells Point and Canton are also great.
MT Vernon and Charles areas are very nice too.

[hertopos]

86. Don't forget Bolton Hill and it's surrounding area

I live in Bolton Hill. The area has the best examples of Baltimore grand row houses. In fact, I love my old row house. I love Bolton Hill. I think it's streets are prettiest in Baltimore.

BTW, try our neighborhood restaurant 'B'. They have great brunch menu on Sunday morning, which we regularly go. We don't go there for dinner much just because my baby does not sit through dinner time. We have to wait till my daughter will be old enough.

91. I am actually a huge fan of the architecture in your area

Bolton Hill, Mt. Royal, Resevoir Hill. I particularly like the Richardsonian Romanesque rows.

Your right---the grand row houses in that area are magnificent.

[aintitfunny]

3. Catonsville

[jrieth50]

48. Go Catonsville!!

Me too!

[3days]

61. Me three

[Burma Jones]

4. Northern Montgomery County

I work at home.

[MadinMD]

5. Baltimore City

Pigtown. It's pretty much a dump right now, but there is some good construction going on on the site of the old Slaughterhouse/factory (sadly, it's so highly polluted it's considered a brown field, so the houses there can't have basements). And there is some encouraging construction going on on washington boulvard. HOpefully we'll push the dealers out. Gentrification isn't such a bad thing when it cleans up your neighborhood.

[On the Road]

49. Pigtown?

Hey, my girlfriend just bought a townhouse in Curtis Bay. Mixed neighborhood, but there are a few nice streets. No idea any DUers were so close.

[Zuni]

90. The one half of Pigtown is pretty nice

The saddest thing is that many of the homes in pigtown are nice---just so many people dump their trash on the streets

[USAcitizen]

108. I live in the Loch Raven area

I love it. I will never leave the city.

[LibertyLover]

6. Where in MD do you live

I live in Annapolis and work in downtown DC.

[Zuni]

11. Hey! Annapolis people rule!

I live off of Forest Drive. I work Downtown, on Duke of Gloucester Street.

[LibertyLover]

13. Annapolis people rule

I live off of Forest Drive also. Ah, the Annapolis neck - so much fun.

[Kukesa]

24. Question for you.

Hi Zuni,

I just returned from a trip to Baltimore, Havre De Grace, and Annapolis and I'm disheartened -- too many repukes! In fact, I didn't hear one good word about Kerry (I overheard some conversations) and all the yard signs and bumper stickers I saw were for B-C. I even saw some repuke umbrellas on a rainy day in Annapolis!

I live in Dayton, Ohio, and we're a bit more pro-Kerry/Edwards here, at least where "visibility" is concerned. What's up with your part of the country?

[qanda]

7. I'm in Glen Burnie

I guess you could say we're neighbors.

[Zuni]

10. my brother lives in Glen Burnie

Not the most scenic town.
I grew up in Crofton.

[qanda]

16. I'm orginally from Pittsburgh

I'm not a big fan of Maryland, but I endure it.

[blueraven95]

8. North east Baltimore city (Hamilton)

but I'm moving downtown-- by the stadiums

[rednek_Liberal]

9. technically nowhere

I grew up in Columbia then moved to Ellicott City.
I now live in South Carolina, but am thinking of moving back with my family if I can find a good job.

[Lefty Pragmatist]

12. Frederick County (just moved to MD last week)

I work in Herndon, my fiancee works in DC.

[lizerdbits]

15. Wow, your commute must be awful!

Even if it's part public transportation, it must take a long time. I go from Germantown to Rockville which isn't bad, 15 minutes around 7:00am if there's no accidents on I270.

[Lefty Pragmatist]

17. Not bad.

Driving, 31 miles, 40 minutes. I get out before 6 a.m. so I'm okay. After 6:30 and it would be horrible.

[hootinholler]

79. Middletown, Frederick Co. too.

Commute to Dulles, 15 - 7 - 28 takes an hour +/- 15 mins in rush hour.

Haven't drawn any reactions yet to my Bush Cheated sticker...

-Hoot

[arismomkoofie]

84. My great great great ...grandfather used to live there...

They tore his house down in 1976 (the year before I was born), but I have seen pictures...


I always think of this when I am near Middletown.

Sorry for the rambling
:)

[arismomkoofie]

85. Silver Spring

:)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

96. Downtown SS here too!

[Donailin]

112. Silver Spring/ Liesure World vicinity

I used to like it until I learned the ICC will basically be my front yard -- the interchange will be at the end of my driveway -- I can't get out onto Norbeck as it is, I can hardly wait to see how this works out.

[Rhoderick]

43. I'm in Frederick too

Part of the conservative stronghold of Maryland (The 6th district). Supporting a Democrat for President in Frederick can be hazardous to your health.

If you need any help learning about the area, just follow the link in my sig to my blog and contact me from there.

[btrflykng9]

69. I'm in the 6th District too

Yes, it truly is conservative land out here, but I think that could be fixed by re-districting.

[lizerdbits]

14. Germantown

Moved from Gaithersburg in May. I own now no I'm staying put.

[undergroundpanther]

[Comicstripper]

21. Gaithersburg

[LiberalEsto]

22. Derwood

That's between Rockville and Gaithersburg.

[mdunionman]

23. Arbutus

Former home of our anti-union right wing crack pot Goobernor. Arbutus is a proud working class community. It used to be a union town before the republicans shipped all of our jobs to their overseas contributors. I miss Paris. I always felt good knowing that he was at the helm. No it is scary to wake up knowing that republitards are running my state and my country. We need to take this country back for the workers. Power to the workers. Down with the man. Down with management. No one will look out for the workers except the Union

[aintitfunny]

25. Hey mdunionman

Are you perhaps a member of the S.W. Balt. County Dems?

[DaveinMD]

26. I live in Burtonsville

34. Waldorf

Bertha and I love living here!

[JaneQPublic]

35. Southern Maryland is great!

...speaking as a resident of St. Mary's County, just south of you folks.

Although, I try not to brag too much about what a pleasant area we have here. The local population is growing fast enough as is!

[Bertha Venation]

37. "local population is growing fast enough" -- tell us about it.

They're putting in a new subdivision on Piney Church Road -- about a mile as the crow flies from our little idyll. :cry:

:hi: Neighbor!

[Bertha Venation]

36. Waldorf, off Piney Church Road

quite near St. Charles -- east side of 301.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

41. "Brookeville Heights"

about two miles north of Brookeville, five miles south of the Howard County line . . . .

[Larry Tyler]

42. Davidsonville

The slums of anne arundle county.

I lived on 8th street behind the laurel mall from the time I was born 1958 until I was 5, then parents moved to MD City right off of 198. I remember when 198 was dirt road part of the way, two lanes and you had to use the wooden bridge next to the race track to get into the city of laurel. Thats going back a ways.

Then I lived in Virginia Beach from 78 till 91 while I was in the Navy. EOD.

Moved back to Maryland in 91, met my now current wife, bought the property, had a kid, well, my wife had the kid, my contribution was only a few minutes of fun.

Plan to stay here until I retire, then will move to the eastern shore where I intend to purchase property on the water where I can keep my boat floating all year.

[Zuni]

92. I never seen any slums in Davidsonville

farms and rich developments are about it

[madinmaryland]

55. Columbia

Moved here in March from Connecticut.

[Sparkly]

56. Wow, I'm originally from CT too!

So's my husband. He's from Bridgeport, I'm from New London. We both lived in various states along the way, and met in Maryland. What CT town are you from? :hi:

My friend has an antique shop there. Some day, I want to open my own shop.

I take ballet class at EMC and we sometimes go to either Golden West Cafe or Cafe Hon for brunch. And oh, yes, there is an Atomic Bookstore.

Hertopos

[GoddessOfGuinness]

60. Riverdale Park

Near College Park. Used to be plain old Riverdale, then they changed the name a few years ago, to make property values higher.

Hi all you Mudlanders! :hi:

[SujiwanKenobee]

63. Rockville

[ImADeanDem]

65. Elkridge (nt)

[nickshepDEM]

66. DUNDALK....

I live in Dundalk a suburb right outside of Baltimore City. Dundalk has a repuation of being dirty and full of white trash. I dont think its that bad and I acutally like it here.

[AuntiBush]

76. We do roll-up the carpet rather early...

as it's as quite as a mouse just off of the main drag, namely "Merritt Blvd." I agree. And hello fellow Dundalkian <--- is that what we're called? But I must agree with that reputation part. It depends where you're situation - it's a small town.

[AuntiBush]

106. You Won't Believe this, but...

We have more than just similiar usernames, too! They roll-up the carpet mighty fast 'round here, don't they. Dundalkian is about right. The fireworks hit the house a bit too much for my liken, but I'm getting use to "incoming fears," if you know what I mean.

Moved from city and I miss it! It's mostly Dem's here, still I'm seeing a few Confed flags hanging 'round lately.

:hi: neighbor!

[Mutley]

67. Baltimore

In Federal Hill.

[Lizz612]

68. South south south, St. Mary's

College is 10 mi. up 5 from Point Lookout. Middle of nowhere.

[marylanddem]

70. Greenbelt

A good old FDR-built town.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

73. Howdy neighbor!

:hi:

[shireen]

71. Rodgers Forge

Rodgers Forge. It's just south of Towson and north of the city line. It's a great family-friendly neighborhood with great schools and plenty of overpriced townhouses. The only way I can afford to live there is by renting an apartment. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

72. Welcome to DU!

Is that near GBMC? I went to college in Baltimore about a thousand years ago, and got to know the area a bit...

[shireen]

74. yes, near GBMC

Thanks for the welcome .... :-)

Yes, it's near GBMC where I've done time. The sheets smell like burnt rubber, the pillows are stuffed with cardboard, and the food is classic hospital cuisine .... awful!
St. Josephs hospital, which has similar accomodations, but slightly better, is close-by too.

Which college?

[Debbi801]

75. My parents used to live in Roger's Forge...

Now they live in Stoneleigh.

[Grip]

77. B'mo!

Born in raised in DC.

111. Hi, neighbor!

:hi:

[pamela]

80. Eastern Shore

I moved to Kent Island from Westminster about 10 years ago. It's beautiful here on the Bay, but very red.

[deutsey]

81. Easton in Talbot County has a fairly strong blue undercurrent

:-)

[kwassa]

83. Easton? You're kidding, right?

[deutsey]

104. No

I frequent the "blue underground" here in Easton. From the UUs, Quakers, and Church of the Brethren, to artists and writers who have settled here, to the large Dean group I helped to organize here a couple years ago, to other groups like the peace group I belong to, there's a strong center left undercurrent here. Although I'm no longer a Democrat, there's a large number of elected Democrats here in local government too.

With more people from the other side of the Bay moving here, all that may increase. That would be good because at the moment it's still just a strong undercurrent. I would like to see it become more of a tidal wave, but that's hard in such rural area.

[Chalco]

82. Rocketville

[eek MD]

88. Annapolis as well here....

=)

[elshiva]

89. Monkton, Maryland.

Which is Harford County, represented by Roscoe Bartlett (Republican Bushie Boy of the 6th district). Total Republicanville up here, really sad.

[mamiesb2001]

114. You must be the only liberal in the entire area. Used to date a man from

Monkton. Very "horse-y" old-money conservative crowd there.

[CC]

93. In the midst of the red

Cecil County near Rising Sun, though finding more blues around.

[freestyle]

94. Baltimore City - Reservoir Hill

I lived in Takoma Park while I was in grad school, but I am a native Baltimorean and this is home.

I think Maryland will always be my home. I don't know of anywhere else in the world I'd rather live.

[CC]

98. Cecil County

The Susquehanna River a mile west of me and PA line half a mile north. Well away from flooding Port Deposit thankfully.

[Baltimore]

107. Where I used to live

I live in Illinois now, but my childhood home was in Baltimore on Maryland Ave., a neighborhood which, last I saw of it on a brief visit, was totally blighted--trees cut down, gardens and grassy patches all cemented over.

[JaneQPublic]

117. Welcome, yanggers!

I live in St. Mary's County, about 8 miles north of the college.

There's a great group of young folks at SMCM -- judging from the ones I worked with at the local Dean Meetups and see perform and the excellent live theatre presentations on campus.

[Witchy_Dem]

116. Newbie here. Currently in Ellicott City
