[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 5751714, member: 79761"] So it's kind of weird. Western Maryland stretches to WV/VA/PA and has the only "mountains" in the state. Southern Maryland is south of DC and west of Chesapeake Bay, historically known for woods and swampland but now it's basically a bedroom community for commuters into DC and VA. Eastern Shore is aka Eastern Maryland-- everything East of the Chesapeake Bay and where a lot of the seafood culture comes from and a good amount of beach tourists go to. I'm not sure there's a term for everything North of DC other than just saying "up near Baltimore." On top of that, we have at least 4 different growing zones (with regard to gardening/agriculture) despite being one of the smallest states in the nation. [EDIT: Just to clarify, these distinctions aren't there because of geography alone. There's a distinct cultural shift from one part of Maryland to the next. The people tend to just be very different, sometimes to the point of hostility but usually it's along the lines of "You put Old Bay on WHAT?!" or "Dude, there's only one R in water, stop saying warter"] [/QUOTE]
