Congratulations.
There's nothing
wrong with those places, but there's nothing really right about them either. Bedroom communities, mostly. I haven't seen Odenton in a long, long time. Columbia is the ultimate planned community. That's not praise, but it would do, I think. Should be millions of options.
The sports culture is *entirely* Baltimore near the Fort. I hated that when I worked near there.
Anything near Annapolis? Willing to commute that far? 97/32 is a pretty good commute still, I think. You'd be back within the DC sphere of influence, at least partly (you'd find other Nats fans there.)

So the results are in. I sign my official (not contingent) offer today and I will expected to be on deck by October 16th. The contract is different in that I’ll be at Ft. Meade instead of the Pentagon which is kind of a bummer, but the pay bump is worth it.
The plan for the time being is to rent a pod. Load it up, crash in an extended stay hotel for a week or two while I scout out apartments in the Odenton and Columbia area. Anyone familiar with that area and is there anything I should look out for? I have a couple places picked out on my “short list”
