Well, being near such a major metropolitan town such as the USA nations Capital, there is a *hell* of a lot of everything within a stones throw. And I mean anything and everything, socially, musically, and geographically.

What I like best is that it is so central to so many other places. The drive to Frederick (for festivals, shops, antiques, and music), to Baltimore (ditto), Annapolis (same), is very do-able, as is the drive to the Mountains, the ocean, historic towns and a host of other things and places.
