okay i grew up in an area of Maryland where we were very southern and i was raised southern belle. Then i moved into the city of Baltimore and it was completely different. When i tell people i want to go to school south of the mason dixon line they look at me and go “so you don’t want to go to college in Maryland?” even Maryland is different! Can anyone provide help for why Maryland is lost in origins?
