Anne Arundel Described In 1 Word: Eclectic, Ruined, Cool, Traffic

ANNE ARUNDEL, MD — We asked Anne Arundel Patch readers to describe their community in one word, and you answered. In fact, the responses were overwhelming when we posed the question on Facebook, with responses ranging from ruined, expensive and drugs to traffic, cybersecurity and deteriorating.

That prompted this rebuttal from Daniel Padgett: "Home. It definitely said describe with one word, I know I'm violating, but I'm trying to make a point. If you don't like my home then move somewhere else. But everything that everybody is saying you're not going to find a geological cure because everywhere is like that. You got to take the good with the bad. ... It's not hard to find the bad, look for the good or move somewhere else. Peace."
