Chicken finger place started in Louisiana. They serve bland chicken fingers, fries, slaw, canes sauce and toast. It's bland chicken for boring white people.

Poor people of any color aren't moving to Clarksville or River Hill. Everyone of my parents neighbors are doctors or better in terms of salary off Folly Quarter Rd. There's also going to be no affordable housing built anytime soon.

Most people already do the kids thing then the woman changes because the man can't leave without it costing him a fortune.

Marriage is a lot longer than 5 years. 5 year plans are irrelevant for marriages.

What's your budget. That's going to be the issue. EC is much more expensive than Columbia.

Im curious why would you choose Columbia, MD as a potential place to live out of anywhere else if you are unfamiliar with the area?

You also make an OC salary. It will probably be comparable to living in Howard County with your new wages.

This is a r/maryland question. This sub is dead most of the time. HoCo is very expensive. I had to move from HoCo after growing up there because I can't afford it as a single teacher. Nursing pay is quite good in the area. The cost of living isn't low if you want to live in HoCo. They have a top 5ish school system in the country and people pay for that. Lots of money here. Weather is completely fine. Nothing crazy.

Columbia to Annapolis is about 35 minutes down 32 without traffic.
