I work in Lanham, so I drive past so many small Maryland towns and work with people from Bethesda and other Montgomery county residents! I wouldn't have guessed Olney, but then again, I'm a recent implant!

It's all MoCo...my town is definitely the exception to what most people think of Montgomery county. I am from the redneck part of the county.

Wait a second...I'm also from MoCo! Of course, I'm not from Potomac/Bethesda, but I did go to high school there...they all thought I was from the redneck part of MoCo too!

I love MoCo, though, I don't know when I'll get out of Baltimore! Lanham is a great place to work...I just wish that it was easier to get to AOII events in MoCo after work so I could participate more in that area. As of now, I'm a Baltimore AOII alumna. We'll probably move to DC in the future, and I'll volunteer with AOII's alum advisory committee at UMD.

What like Damascus or Poolesville? Olney might as well have been Damascus for the longest time. We are very close. And much love to Poolesville. The reason that it isnt so built up now like the rest of MoCo is because they enacted a rule that anyone new buying land has to buy at least 25 acres and they cannot parcel it out if they are buying on the outskirts of town. I like that. Keeps some green space at least.

I am from Poolesville. Another reason it isn't very built up is probably because we are on well water.

Nice. You'd be surprised the parts of MoCo still on well water. My parents bought a house in Derwood (sort of in between Olney and Gaithersburg) that is on well water. Anyway, redneck MoCo or not, its still MoCo LOL! I now live outside of Fredneck, and yeah, there ARE a whole rack of rednecks still around here.
