I grew up in Dundalk, went to Dundalk Community College / Essex CC & Towson State for undergrad, and finished up my degree at Shenandoah U. in Winchester, VA.... I worked in Frederick while going to college and lived in Columbia for a few years after graduating.
Since then, I lived in Colorado for a few years and now I'm stuck in Chicago of all places.
I bored you with my history because I MISS MARYLAND!! Colorado was really great in it's own way, but there is absolutely no redeeming value for Illinois. It sux, period. Whenever I travel back to maryland and come through Frederick on 70 on my way into Baltimore, I roll down the car windows and just enjoy the smell of the mountains.
Don't discount what you have! There's something special about the east coast that you'll sorely miss. Some of my most memorable mountain biking is there, too...
