What I'll Miss About Maryland

• My family and friends in the area, first and foremost.
• The National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes, and chaplain Fr. Jack Lombardi.
  
• St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Libertytown, and Msgr. John Dietzenbach.
  
• The greenery.
• The farmland of Frederick and Washington Counties.
• Frederick, a charming small city with growing pains, but also a lot to offer.
• Glen Burnie, an unassuming, blue-collar Baltimore suburb.
• Other delightful small towns such as Thurmont, Emmitsburg, Mt. Airy, Smithsburg, Hagerstown, and Brunswick.
  
• The Ravens and M&T Bank Stadium.
  
• The fairly good condition of the roads (try PA or DC if you don't believe me).
• The historical sites, from Ft. McHenry to Antietam Battlefield to Harpers Ferry.
• The celebrations like Frederick's Fourth, the Great Frederick Fair, In the Street, Colorfest, Kris Kringle, the Renaissance Festival, Twilight Tattoo, etc.
• Baltimore and Annapolis' harbors.
• Berger cookies.
• Utz potato chips.
• Crab cakes.
• Cream of crab soup.
  
• Thrasher's fries.
  
• The ability to go for a weekend trip to NYC, PA, or elsewhere.
