Nothing much honestly. For MD in general, I guess I'd say the highly varied terrain. Everything from mountains to beach. That's kind of cool, but the whole state's turning into a suburban wasteland :^/

this was the birthplace of the united states, and we are the sole rightful owners of halloween and thanksgiving, and 1/13th owners of the fourth of july.

Believe it or not- I love the weather- summers in Seattle are hard to beat- and I really don't mind rain. People overall seem nice, lots of things to do etc...and great music/plenty of concerts/festivals.

I live in the most culturally advanced place on earth. Sadly that still makes it quite primitive.

PS San Francisco and Bay Area

The beautiful scenery and cultural diversity (including food) has already been mentioned.

What impresses me the most is how anyone manages to raise a family here nowadays given the ridiculous cost of living and comparatively low salaries.

The lack of diversity here is terrible. With a 90% white population with most of them gun toting racist rednecks makes me not want to go out at all. Even though there is no point in going out since there's nothing to do.

As a state - tons of lakes which come in handy in the summer. And in the winter.

As a town - 50Mb fiber to the house for $39/month.

Nothing. I fucking hate this place. Everything about it sucks if you compare it to other cities.

I live in the SF Bay Area, but a safe distance away from San Francisco proper. A lot of the lunatics on the west coast seem to congregate there . The diversity of tech jobs here always has impressed me - it's why I moved here, and why I stay.

I live within walking distance of 5 lakes, all of which I would say are large i.e at least a mile wide in any given direction.
