Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Maryland ( /ˈmɛrələnd/ (help·info)) is a state located in the Mid Atlantic region of the United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia to the south and west, Pennsylvania to the north, and Delaware to the east. Historically it was part of the Chesapeake Colonies where planters cultivated tobacco as a cash crop dependent on slave labor. It is comparable in size to the European country of Belgium. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Maryland has the highest median household income of any state at $68,080 in 2007, overtaking New Jersey in 2006. It was the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution and bears two nicknames, the Old Line State and the Free State. Its history as a border state has led it to exhibit characteristics of both the Northern and Southern regions of the United States. Generally, rural Western Maryland resembles the West Virginian Panhandle the Southern and Eastern Shore regions of Maryland emulate a Southern culture, while densely-populated Central Maryland—radiating outward from Baltimore and the Washington Beltway—exhibits characteristics of the Northeast. Maryland is a life sciences hub with over 350 biotechnology firms, making it the third-largest such cluster in the nation. Institutions and agencies located throughout Maryland include the University System of Maryland, The Johns Hopkins University, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Celera Genomics, Human Genome Sciences (HGS), the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), MedImmune (recently purchased by AstraZeneca), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

I have gotten many different responses from both people and websites on the easiest and fastest way to get to the Maryland Zoo. I am from Baltimore so I don't live too far, and I was wondering if anyone could share the best ways they have gone. I am bringing a child with me, but he is not my child, so although Park Heights Avenue seems like an easy enough way to go, it goes through some bad neighborhoods that I'm not comfortable driving through with a small child in tow. I have heard from some that taking 83 is best, and others say just go Northern Parkway. I am nervous about getting lost with this child in the car, and really all I want to know are people's experiences going different ways and which way they have found works best. Thanks… [cont.] Asked by Jessica - Tue Oct 24 16:49:52 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I wish you would have said what part of Baltimore you're coming from. Since you're skeptical about Park Heights Ave. and other neighborhoods - I'll give you the best way since I know the neighborhood like the back of my hand. From the north or south - take I-83 to Exit 9, Cold Spring Lane West. At the second traffic light (there's a police station at the first traffic light), take a left onto Greenspring Avenue South. At the bottom of the hill - keep going straight into the park. Follow signs for the Maryland Zoo. Reverse procedure on the way out.

Q. My boyfriend and I enjoy going on mini-vacations in the area (we live in Delaware). Two of our favorite places are Inner Harbor, Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland. We love the charm of these cities and especially the food options! Can anyone suggest some nearby cities and towns that may also be of interest to us, or ones that you've enjoyed? Thanks very much!
