Maryland
Located in the Mid Atlantic Region of the United States, Maryland was the seventh state to ratify the constitution. The state has two nicknames: the “Old Line State” and the “Free State”.
Maryland has been home to several important sports figures including Babe Ruth, who was born in Baltimore, Cal Ripken, Jr. and recent Olympic swimming multi-gold medalist Michael Phelps.
According to CNN Money Magazine, Maryland is one of the best states to live and Columbia/Elliot City is one of the best areas to call home in the state.
