No coastal community is complete unless they have at least one decent clam shack.

Everyone bashes Maryland so I wanted to show folks where I live in Maryland and PROVE that it is NOT a communist state. Read every word before you call me a liar.....lol.
Arnold is a medium-sized coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 23,106 people and five constituent neighborhoods, Arnold is the 47th largest community in Maryland.
Housing costs in Arnold are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don’t compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Maryland.
Arnold is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 88.35% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Arnold is a town of professionals, sales and office workers and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Arnold who work in management occupations (15.00%), sales jobs (12.00%) and office and administrative support (11.71%).
Also of interest is that Arnold has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Because of many things, Arnold is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Arnold a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Arnold has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Arnold’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
Arnold is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

Does this really sound like a commie state of Maryland????????? NO!!!!!
There’s Maryland bashing going on and I missed out?
lol. Yep!
And her family is more conservative than mine.
I’ve decided that people are pretty much the same everywhere. Obviously cities lean liberal but there are conservatives there too.
And, by the way, highly educated, upper class individuals are more -- not less -- likely to be libtards. I am a highly educated, upper-class individual, but not a libtard. See how it works?
Not in my city. We have a RED House Member and the areas is RED!
I live here in the People’s Republic and I’ll bash it all I wish.
FGS, they tax the rain here!
Like I said...
No coastal community is complete unless they have at least one decent clam shack.
Awful. Damn Communists.
lol. You are the best FREEPER around!!!!
Of course, every state has some nicer areas, some more conservative or family oriented areas than others.
Overall, Maryland is a reliably blue Democrat state in presidential elections. And they have some liberal policies in place.
We could make long lists of such places. Liberal California has many nice areas, and conservative leaning areas. The red state of Texas has liberal enclaves such as Austin. Upstate New York has a number of more conservative areas, but the state is reliably Democrat in presidential elections , largely due to New York City being so liberal.
You have downstate Illinois vs. the Chicago area.
Kansas City and St. Louis vs. rural and small town Missouri.
Etc.
When I tell people I’m from Michigan they think I’m from Detroit. When I correct them and tell them Jackson, they think I was in prison.
Great - you live in a nice town/neighborhood and most of your neighbors are just like you, even to the point you managed to elect a Republican to represent you. In the meantime, the rest of the residents of MD elected Demos to the overflowing point where your rep’s input is not heard and he can’t get legislation into a committee, let alone on the floor. Add in that you can’t strap on a defensive sidearm legally and you just have an absolute Utopia...riiiight! You are welcome to it if it suits you, guess those soft shell crabs have a stronger pull than I thought.
FGS, they tax the rain here!
Yes. I guess my tax went from 7400 dollars a year to around 7540 a year for the rain tax. That is a bit weird.
Sales tax went from 5% to 6% in 2007.
Maryland legalized Gay Marriage in 2013.
O'Mally wants to Decriminalize Pot
The Obamacare signups and exchanges are so bad, they are being investigated.
The Feds are looking at Baltimore to house the illegal immigrant children taken from the borders. Do you think the Maryland legislature or Governor will do anything to prevent it? Uh, think Undocumented Democrats.
The School system said our son would never be able to pass college. (They were wrong).
If you had told Marylanders 40 years ago this would be the way it would be, they would have laughed at you.
The Democratic party has taken Maryland left, far far left.
You must have lived in Baltimore City. I can see your desire to move to a better area. Not everyone can live in Arnold, Maryland, I understand that. Unfortunately you were unable too for whatever reason. Sorry about that. The schools in Severna Park are the number one in the nation. It makes me ill to know that you lived in the poor part of Maryland. Sorry about that.
SA76-——WHAT is in that container? Fried Clams?? I know my Fried Clams, and they don’t look like them. I did a close up of the pic, and am still stumped.
Just to be clear. I do not send my children to Severna Park. Two of the kids go to St. John the Baptist in Severna Park and two go to St. Mary’s High School in Annapolis. Sorry I wasn’t clear.
