Mount Rainier, Maryland

“A funky little town near DC that literally hasn’t changed since the 60’s. Or if it has, the resemblance has gotten even closer. Since there’s a major African American presence it has a somewhat Rastafarian ambiance. Check out the Glut Food Co-op (started by Marxists in 1969), the Eye Opener coffee shop (owned by a Deadhead) and the used furniture / alternative health stores. Possibly the cheapest place you can live between the mountains and the Chesapeake, if you’re a hippie.”
