I suppose Florida is just a more multi cultural place than Maryland. I
guess I would have noticed it too if I wasn't from there all my life.
I pretty much only knew white people and black people but all
christian Americans (the blacks generally more devout than the
whites). I did know some Jewish folks at work but, like you say,
Montgomery county people.
We have people from all over here but nothing like West Palm Beach
where the kids lived. My grand daughter's school was like the UN.


Our part of Maryland is slowly progressing from near-redneck to
near-civilized. We have four or five very good locally owned restaurants
in the immediate area, a couple of decent chain restaurants, and the
usually ****ty McDonald's class of restaurants.
Chipotle is supposed to open soon.

If we need to do serious shopping, we go up to Annapolis.

The upside is that it is quiet here, relatively low crime rate, low
population density, and cows, goats, and horsies nearby.


That is sort of like what Clinton was like 35-40 years ago.
Waldorf was a decaying area still reeling from the loss of the slot
machines.
