Maryland boasts 23 national park units, which display a collection of the state’s best scenery, nature, culture, history and recreational opportunities. Visit and experience the parks, battlefields, historic sites, scenic trails, a national monument and a national seashore that make Maryland unique.

At the Atlantic Ocean, Assateague Island National Seashore is famous for its wild ponies and offers sparkling white sands beaches amid dunes and marshes for a natural seashore experience. National Battlefields, such as Antietam and Monoacy, interpret the bloodiest day in the Civil War and a battle that became the Civil War’s turning point. Historic sites honor Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross and Thomas Stone, the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence. But, perhaps Maryland is best known for the battle that inspired Francis Scott Key to pen “The Star Spangled Banner” during the defense of Baltimore from Fort McHenry, now a National Monument and Historic Shrine.

Camp at Greenbelt Park while visiting Washington, D.C., located just a few miles away. Or enjoy the splendor of fall color changes at Catoctin Mountain Park while staying in an authentic 1930’s log cabin. Take in a scenic view of ridge tops and valleys along the Appalachian Trail that runs from Maine to Georgia, or bike the Potomac River valley on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath in the C&O Canal National Historical Park. In Maryland’s National Park Service sites, you can immerse yourself in the stories of preserving America, experience our national culture, or jest get away from it all!

REALonomics.net advocates that the industry open up the property information portals to consumers and upgrade its approach to how it is interacting with the consumer by implementing more social networking such as www.CityBlogUSA.com, a community blogging network for every city in the USA.

The Company launched the BETA version of CityBlogUSA in July and has been test marketing positions in selective markets in its 50-State, 25,000+ cities network to real estate agents on an exclusive basis.

Company Vice President, Robert Barringer said, “we created CityBlog with the idea that consumers want to blog about their favorite cities or hometown and to directly post information about lifestyles, real estate, jobs, health care, schools and even politics from an insider’s perspective.”

“CityBlog Maryland allows residents, businesses and real estate industry professionals to open up the local information portals for those seeking to relocate and for those residents who want to post alternative information that the newspapers, TV and magazines aren’t reporting…after all, who knows more about a community than the people who live there?”, said Barringer.

Agents can “Stake a Claim” to their city as its “Real Estate and Relocation Specialist” and hold that position exclusively, interact by posting blogs, talk about real estate and any other local issues they would like to include in the blog.

Barringer said, “The most powerful thing about CityBlog is that any resident can become an author…we are just setting up a network and trying to sell ad space…we believe in the consumer-centricity of the economy, especially when it comes to real estate and local lifestyles.”

People can blog Baltimore, Columbia, Silver Spring, Dundalk, Germantown, Bethesda, Frederick, Gaithersburg, and any other city and have the same blogging experience. You can jump to any Maryland city and be blogging in minutes by going to www.MarylandBlogPage.com, this very site.
