Tons of green space and parks, particularly on the Maryland side of the border.

@Khaled El KhouryHey Khaled - cross the border and you are in Rochester NY.

Some have chosen to divert from the point he was attempting to make in order to respond with self-righteous statements of grandeur and non-judgement of others.FYI- proclaiming yourself above the use of a word instead of just responding to the question isn't just self-righteous, its also very telling.There is a difference between people being firm in their beliefs and self-righteous, there is nothing wrong with being firm and confident...but if you really are then you don't need the "Shut up and listen to me" attitude that turns if from one to the other.I have found VERY FEW who are arrogant and stubborn are also successful and if they are telling you flat out thats how they are with their attitude on display, you should thank them for not wasting your time.

I’d go as far to even say some of the comments were even bordering on rude and arrogant.
