Being a native NJ girl, moving down here to MD was a severe culture shock. I had a great apartment that was only 15 minutes from the shore. The food was amazing. I was within reach of the Windmill, awesome sushi, the best homemade and restaurant Italian food. Ah I could just go on about the food alone!!! The Jersey attitude was a way of life and eventually you got used to that and the BENNIES during the summer.
Moving to MD for work was a huge change for me. I had to get acclimated to a completely different lifestyle. Driving down here is the worst. People drive slow and hardly use blinkers. I almost miss the tailgating and careless passing that Jersey drivers possess. My apartment was is the "ghetto" and I'm just going to sum up how bad it was. I had a squirrel (at least that's what I like to image in my head) that lived in my dryer duct that basically rode out my entire lease with me. Regina. She was my pal.
I'm sorry I know you Marylanders like your Old Bay and whatnot but most of your food items are still gross. Everything is a chain restaurant here. Gross. I have yet to find some good mom and pop places with good any kind of food. Every place also claims to have the "best" crab dip here too. So strange.
OMG IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET SOMEWHERE!!!! Every place is 30 minutes at the minimum. If I need something now, I have to go to Wal-Mart. This is still a strange concept for me.
Even after a couple years living here I'm still not used to it. I keep telling myself one day I'll adjust.....
