No Officer, If I grew up at all it was in Maine and New York, and went to college in CT. I loved Western Maryland, which has to be the remotest place near anywhere. I commuted to DC a few days a month, before retiring.
But I do actually (or did) also love Balmer. It was as fascinating as a dirty magazine in the olden days and I looked forward to my clandestine trips to visit Uncle Dutch. Best day to be in Balmer? 4th of July, on a boat rafted in the Inner Harbor for the Fireworks ... best in the world!

Western Maryland is great. Have you been to the Deep Creek Lake area or other spots in Garret County? What are your favorite places in Western Maryland?
Baltimore has some good spots. The Inner Harbor is good. Camden Yards, Fells Point and other neighborhoods have great restaurants and bars and fun places to hang out.
