I live in the country between 2 small towns. One in MD and one in PA. One and a half grocery stores between them. Lots of churches, each has a fire station and both are very historic. 10 min from Gettysburg and battlefields. National Fire Academny and Saint Elizabeth Seton shrine is 10 min other way, D C and Baltimore an hour and a half away. Va and WV not too far. Lots of history and beautiful scenery (if you like mountains), 3 hours to the ocean. Almost all shopping is 30-40 min in any direction. Best resturants are in Gettysburg and Frederick MD. Harrisburg about an hour. So I get to live in the country with my goats, pot belly pigs, ducks, chickens and a horse and still get to more traffic and people than I need to be around LOL.
