Just north, on I70, you pick up I68W. Is that where Western MD begins? I drive up through that way when visiting the parental units in West PA. Where does Western MD start?
I'd have said Hancock.
“ Where does Western MD start?”
Rockville? /s
Former Boston Mayor, Tom “Mumbles” Menino called Newton “Western Massachusetts”. Newton borders Boston. By that reasoning, Worchester is in the Midwest, and Springfield is in the Rocky mountains.
I think, because of MDs shape, “western” is just west of Frederick county.
>Where does Western MD start?
Frederick County westwards (usually considered House district 6)
South Mountain is generally considered the line where The Wilderness starts.
Every time some liberal “army” swears they’re coming out to the rural areas I instantly think “ they’ll never make it over South Mountain “.
Western Maryland is less about geography than a state of mind.
