That's impressive. It must be a great town, as I know Baltimore's Inner harbor area is a great place to walk.
Interesting. When I read the headline, I said, HEY, what about Bethesda. But, there it is.
The one I can't figure is Germantown.
Debbie, Woo Hoo! You beat out Bethesda! Congratulations! I personally like Sligo Creek Park.
Was just in Silver Spring yesterday! Thanks for sharing this list; proud to be in city #5!
