Editing Maryland

Maryland is a narrow state on the [[East Coast]] of the continental U.S.  The only famous person to ever come from there is [[Spiro Agnew]].  Contrary to popular belief, Maryland is not a city in [[Washington, D.C.]], although it is its safety blanket.  Much as people who live in [[Chicago]] [[suburbs]] claim to be from the city itself, Marylanders claim to be from Washington, D.C.

The state flower is the black-eyed Susan.  The Orioles are terrible, and no one has cared about them since Cal Ripken left.
