Maryland or Massachusetts?
So, it looks like Badger and I will be moving this summer -- either to the Columbia, MD area or to the greater Boston area. We have both been given good job offers in both areas.
A great deal of our desire to move is to leave the Jersey area. I have lived here since I was 2 1/2. I think it's time to see... something different. We are toying around with the idea of living in the city proper if we move to Boston. Columbia, on the other hand, is a more suburban-type experience. It's about half-way between Baltimore and D.C.
What would you do, and why? What attracts or repels you about Boston, or cities in general? About the Maryland area, or the suburban lifestyle? The cultural opportunities? The traffic? The weather?
As background information, we don't have (or plan to have) kids. We may get a dog some day, if it works out. We currently have two cats. I'd like to keep my commute under 1/2 hour, if I can, but I am amenable to a longer ride using public transit.
