With the exception of Atlanta, Georgia is about as good as it gets, IMHO. To paraphrase Phil Sheridan, if I owned Atlanta and Hell, I’d rent out Atlanta and live in Hell.

Ian, it is Montgomery County, Maryland, reputed to be the most liberal county in the US. Ugh!

I worked in that county 1995 to 2004. I’m surprised that it’s that way now, I thought that distinction would go to a New England, New York, or California county.

I always lived in Virginia those years, however.

Liberalism is the downfall of this country but so many fail to realize it.

I was born and raised in Montgomery County - it is shocking how things have changed. Especially the landscape from Gaithersburg headed north. MoCo school system policies (and politics) have become nothing short of insane.

Bill Murphy - I haven’t laid my eyes on Butlers Orchard for yrs..I hope that portion of 355 hasn’t been overrun by ‘new construction’.

Scot.
Most of Maryland's counties are the same. Insane is a polite term.

Scot, Clarksburg, at the northern edge of Route 355, hard on the Frederick County line, has a population of 32,000 hard to identify souls.

Tragic. I google-earthed the area and it appears Butlers Orchard is an island shrinking in all directions. I watched the sprawl into Germantown all through Middletown Rd happen in my late teens and know it’s gotten even worse after visiting about 5yrs ago. What a shame.
