It is the local economy. It's a year round tourist trap

Punxsutawney Phil is correct 39% of the time. Hence, I'm hoping he's wrong again, and we will have more glorious weeks of winter.
I understand your disappointment with less snow. But at least if we don't get a lot more snow, the temperatures will still be nice and cold, so there's that.
Yes.

"Officially" the Mason Dixon line marks the end of the north.
Anyone who has ever lived in Maryland knows that we're in limbo. Southerners think we're in the north, northerners think we're in the south, neither are right...

I added my mom on the app so now I can see where she is. But the app doesn't have location permissions from me, so it won't work for them to see where I am...and also it won't work because my battery saver is on. So I can spy on them, but not the reverse.
Not that it matters; I work from home and most of the time, I'm at home.

I decided to order from my local pizza/Italian place and I'm wondering how the local Papa John's even stays in business since everyone in town seems to be here...

One of my 7th grade students asked me today about Groundhog Day and who actually thought a groundhog could predict the weather. I think the 7th grader came up with the conclusion that the the person was either insane or on drugs!

My daughter tracks me or at least has me on the app. Plus, I can track her too, when they are on a trip. I always know when they have arrived at their destination. She put it on my phone because I have now gotten old enough to be young again and watched for my activity. In the event she can't reach me and I'm not answering my phone for a long period of time she can look and see where I am. If it shows I'm home she can then call in the force to see if I'm OK, my phone is broken or I'm just being b itchy and not answering. It's primarily for the "help, I've fallen and I can't get up" scenario. Aging is such an exciting time of life.

I got my grandma to buy an Apple watch so that it would contact us if she falls. She also has Alexa's in her house. My great aunt fell in the bathroom and was on the floor for three days before someone found her. It makes me feel better that my grandma has enough technology around her to keep that from happening. And that her neighbors also pay attention to whether she's coming or going and will check on her if they think something's off.

Unless I forgot to bring my phone with me, which would also explain why I haven't answered the calls or aren't really at home. That has happened more than once.

Well, knowing that our children are busy with their own lives, many of us in the same age bracket text each other daily. Just a simple good morning lets them know we are at least able to text. If not we have numbers to call for someone, relative or friend to physically check up on us. It works pretty well. We've needed to contact the family of others after a 5 hour wait so far it is a simple "left my phone someplace else" or the phone was off or forgot to charge it. Nothing life saving yet.
A 21' Goucher poll stated 65% of MD residents think it's a northern state when just 27% believe Its a southern state. I side with the 65%. Southern hospitality is much more prevalent in Southern states. In my opinion the South starts in VA.

It also depends on what part of the state you're in. Annapolis definitely feels like a southern city whereas if you're in the mountains, you're absolutely going to feel like you're in the north. And then this area has some aspects of both. It's weird because you go over the line into PA and there's way less outdoor malls and such that there are here. And I also say y'all as part of my accent. But it's not quite southern either, so again, weird purgatory, and because the state is geographically diverse, you can't really lump it into one or the other either.
Even if you look back at where they had slavery in the state, it was more prevalent in the southern part of the state but by the time you got further north you stopped seeing it, and especially once you got further west. Like, they had plantations over on the eastern shore, a few households that were wealthier would have slaves in Baltimore, and then people pretty much didn't own them by the time you got west.
