1. Old Bay Seasoning

To a Marylander, Old Bay belongs on everything. There’s no better flavor in the world and nothing better goes with steamed crabs.

2. The MVA

Most people go to the DMV to get their license, but in Maryland we go to the good old MVA. If you say DMV in Maryland that means the whole region of D.C.-Maryland-Virginia.

3. Disney World in Maryland? What?

Every child growing up thought Disney World was right off of the beltway, only to find out it was just the Mormon Temple of D.C. .

4. Our Flag Really is the Best Looking State Flag

Whether you're from Maryland or not, we all know deep down that we have the sweetest state flag of all time. While people in other states barely even know what their flag looks like, Marylanders fly theirs proudly all across the state in the classic form or as socks, shorts or even a magnet on our fridges.

5. Being South Of The Mason-Dixon Line Doesn’t Mean We’re Southern

While technically Maryland is in the South, people in Maryland consider themselves as Northern as a Northerner could be. That darn Mason-Dixon line just doesn't agree though.

6. We’re All About Our County Pride

In Maryland, your county is your family (most of the time quite literally). The people are very diverse and each county takes a lot of pride in whatever it is that makes that particular area of Maryland unique. People have county pride bumper stickers, get really into their county fairs, and of course, make excellent nicknames for all of the counties. So, whether you are from HoCo, MoCo, PG or AA you have an identity that you share with your county.
