Fort Washington, Maryland

Submitted by Joy

Though currently residing in East Lansing, MI, my home is nestled just southeast of Washington, DC. It's a short journey off the Beltway down Route 210 and despite not actually having a true town center, unless one counts a couple shopping mall strips, there is actually a Fort. Built along the Potomac River in the early 1800s as the only defense against invasion upon DC until the Civil War, the Fort still remains today having never seen any battles. A lighthouse rests at its base lines along the Potomac and most residents visit to take long walks along the trails or to hold picnics in the designated areas outside the Fort walls. There used to be a fantastic fire works display held just before the DC show - which can be seen when near the west Fort walls that looked up the river to the city - every Fourth of July, but that sadly stopped in the mid 1980s due to government budget cuts. If coming by in winter though and a good amount of snow has actually fallen there is a fantastic sledding hill as you approach the front gates!

Gaithersburg, Maryland

Submitted by Amanda McMahon

At just under 60,000 residents, Gaithersburg is a happening suburb. The community I live in is the Kentlands, which is a neo-traditionalist community. The new urban areas like this are plenty in Gaithersburg, and help to give this city a town feel. NIST is also here, making the area pretty high-tech. One of the most scenic areas is that of the man-made lakes of the Kentlands/Lakelands areas, as well as Great Seneca areas. The man-made areas were made for National Geographic, and help give the city a small-town appeal.

I moved here from your hometown, and like the neighborhood, and the many neo-traditional areas. This alone is a reason to stop by!

Taneytown, Maryland

Submitted by Heather

Known to other Marylanders as Bumbf*ck or not known at all, Taneytown is smalltown America at its best! The people are very prideful of their town and there is a lot of history.
