    What to do in Elkton, MD?

    Sounds like you found a nice area to hang. I lived in Rising Sun Md. for a few years and if you get a chance go over to Newark De. and hang out in the historic downtown area. Neat little shops and a college town to boot! Have fun and enjoy whatever city you land in!
