Maryland is full of small and charming close-knit communities. If you remember growing up in one of these places, then this post may be quite nostalgic. There is something special about growing up seeing the same neighbors and classmates throughout the years. Even if you no longer live in your hometown, the memories will last a lifetime. Here are 10 reasons why small town Maryland is a great place to learn and grow.

1. You made friends for life. Growing up in a close-knit community you get to know everyone, and bond with a special few.

2. You were also pretty close with your neighbors. You could rely on them to house sit, grab your newspaper, or give you a few cookies when they made too many.

3. And because there were less kids around the community, your neighbors were more likely to hand out full-size candy on Halloween. Score!

4. High school football games were a big deal. And they were an even BIGGER deal against your rival school.

5. You didn't have to grow up too fast because time moved at a slower pace.

6. This meant more time for climbing trees...

10. Knowing that there is no place like home. Even if you no longer live in your hometown, the sweet memories are still with you.
