I’m from Allegany County, born and raised. And the article is correct: Garrett, Allegany, and Washington counties are more like WV. Mountainous, snowy in the winter, lots of forest. By and large, people up there vote Republican. These secession movements pop up like dandelions, but have never gotten anywhere in the past. Given the divisiveness in our society these days, the disgust with the Biden Regime, and constantly being brow beaten from the Woke and COVID Karen crowd, they may just make a little noise this time. Plus, I hear WV has some pretty generous tax laws. I told my wife, I am going to buy three or four acres there and I’m building a log chalet on it. And it wasn’t a threat.
PING to some fellow Maryland Freepers at Post 18.
I went to college in Frostburg many years ago. I concur that western Maryland is very different from the rest of Maryland. And that western Maryland is very similar to West Virginia, socially, culturally, economically, and politically.
I looked at 80 acres there a while back. Free gas.
