Aberdeen, MD
 

Anyone know anything about the Aberdeen, MD area? Is it good for boating? Nice place to live or crappy??

Re: Aberdeen, MD
 

Great for boating! Inlaws have a cottage
accross from Turkey Pt.

Just stay away from the proving grounds. :eek:

There were alot of boats out Sat, bass boats &
a few MasterCrafts.

My Uncle lives in Harve De Grace, is kind of a hick town compared to around here. Beautiful area though. Looks like you need to take a road trip and check it out.

Re: Aberdeen, MD
 

Can't see it being too hick since it's outside of Baltimore???

Re: Aberdeen, MD
 

Have you been to baltimore?

Lez gets some bud in a cayn hun ans we'll drinks em whiles I change da oiwl in my car.





Actually, its not a bad place. You should visit there and find out if it is for you, as one area can vary greatly from another in just a mile or two.

Been to Baltimore a couple dozen times over the years for both pleasure and business.

I guess I'll have to go down there for a weekend...

Who else lives down there and can give some insight?

Re: Aberdeen, MD
 

let me know Frank, I can show you some places in Balt, Aberdeen is a nice area in harford county, like most places it has its bad sections, but there are other areas that border it that are VERY nice.

Thanks!

My wife is a government contractor and they're shutting down Fort Monmouth in about 2.5 years. She's been offered an opportunity to relo with her project and was considering becoming a gov't employee. I'd consider the move it if it makes sense financially... :rolleyes: Otherwise I'll be workin harder or helping her find another job until the kids come along..... :eek: :eek:

Re: Aberdeen, MD
 

I've spent a lot of time at Ft. Monmouth (CECOM) and at Aberdeen Proving Grounds a bit too.

Aberdeen is a bit out in the sticks, and it is a bit "hicky." Water is everywhere, and it should be a fun place to boat, with easy access to the entire Chesapeake Bay.

Re: Aberdeen, MD
 

You should see the plans they have on the drawing board for the Fort.... it's pretty crazy! There are approx. 10,000 Civilians and Gov't employees on the Fort. The gov't employees will need to relocate but the civilians will have to decide if they relo or find a new job.... Now with Rumsfeld resigning some gov't folks are a wee bit pissed cause he was the biggest supporter of the BRAC. :eek: :mad:

Fortunately for us it doesn't really matter as much but the extra income always helps! :drink:

Re: Aberdeen, MD
 

My wife is originally from Havre de Grace and her Grandfather was actually in charge at Aberdeen PG for many years. You'll probably find that there are some nicer areas just outside of Aberdeen instead of within it. Havre de Grace is a nice small town and there is also Perryville & Northeast which are less than a 30 minute drive to Abd. I'm originally from DE but grew up boating on the North end of the Chesapeake. There are lots of great places to go, and Kent Narrows (Red-Eyes) is one of many. Right outside of ABD and Havre de Grace are the Susquehanna River flats which is a big hangout.

Definitely worth a drive down on a weekend to explore the area. ;) Good luck.

We own a water front home in North East Md and live a few miles out side of York PA.
As we here the bombs going off at Aberdeen every weekend in the summer from our NE MD Bay house approx 20 miles north of Aberdeen,you may want to look further north or south depending on what you are looking for,water front , I would defiantly go north.
The Chesapeake bay is huge and depending on your rig and what you like to do, cruising on our Cat from North East MD we are at Baltimore Inner Harbor know wake zone in 20 minutes and in our Top Gun in 40 minutes.
When we purchased our Bay house, we looked at homes from Cambridge on up,,it's worth a few weekends to see for your self
Awesome boating on the Chesapeake, north or south.
GOOD LUCK!

Panther,

Know your delema. They are BRACing most from inside the beltway to Ft. Meade (or Ft. Belvoir). I'm not going to Meade. That is one of the reasons I got a new job last month. Good luck.
