I know that panhandle or whatever it’s called should be part of the US...not Maryland.
There’s been an effort to secede from the rest of Maryland for *years*.
I’m less than a mile across the river from WV and half my kin were WV coal miners.
The other half are migrating Irish ‘billies who wound up in Great Cove PA, in the Appalachian wilderness of southern PA, a couple miles north of here.
I have absolutely nothing in common with anyone east of South Mountain, which is where the state really should end.
I consider myself an unwilling accident of birth and the only thing I can say for Maryland is that we have the prettiest flag.
