I like parts of Garrett county, it is a nice place to grow up. There are lots of things to do outside but if the outdoors is not something you enjoy, its probably not a fun place. There is not much diversity but we are getting better, the biggest thing is that there is a meth problem and no one really talks about it because they do not want to hurt tourism.
There are not as wide a variety of establishments as they are serving a smaller population except during vacation seasons. The restaurants that are here do a great job at serving delicious food and drinks and trying to be creative and adventurous with their menus. Great local food scene is growing too! Including local cheese production, Garrett Growers, who provide locally farmed food to restaurants, and ever expanding farmers markets.
I wouldn't live anywhere else. The people sre friendly. You can get fresh produce, eggs, cheese and meat from the farms in the area. The sceney is beautiful year round and the job market is improving.
