Fairly pleasant and well maintained grounds, gardens, and food court
Maryland House Travel Plaza的点评
点评:Maryland House is a busy rest area along Interstate 95 near Aberdeen. Entry is easy, but getting back on the highway that is only three lanes in each direction is challenging. One tries to merge into the high-speed lane among fast and inconsiderate drivers. The parking lot on the south is quite large, but this afternoon, it was nearly full. Electric charging stations and a regular gas station are located on the north side. The surrounding grounds and gardens are well planted and clean. There are also outdoor tables overlooking the gardens. People being people, there was trash dumped between the parked cars despite plenty of trash cans around. There is a nice field for walking dogs as well as a fenced dog park. This is good since pets are not allowed in the main building. Maryland house itself is spacious with high ceilings and arranged as a food court. A wide choice of meals, snacks, desserts, and ready to go options are available. The central seating area is clean and well spaced. There is an information area just inside the south entrance with a selection of pamphlets and booklets describing local attractions. No one was posted at the information desk. I make a point of finding and reading local historical markers when I travel, so I was looking forward to seeing the two that were shown on the map as located near the entrance. Neither marker was present. Instead, there was a sign at each location stating, "This Historic Marker was removed by the MDOT SHA under authority of the Maryland Historical Trust. This Marker to be refurbished and reinstalled." I therefore had to go online to the Historical Marker Data Base to read what was on these plaques. Overall, the rest area is fairly pleasant and well maintained, just a bit crowded this afternoon.
翻译:马里兰之家是阿伯丁附近95号州际公路旁一个繁忙的休息区。入口很容易,但要回到双向只有三条车道的高速公路却颇具挑战性。在那些车速飞快、不顾他人感受的司机的包围下,人们很难并入高速车道。南侧的停车场很大,但今天下午几乎停满了车。北侧设有电动汽车充电站和一个普通加油站。周围的庭院和花园绿树成荫,干净整洁。户外还设有可以俯瞰花园的桌椅。虽然周围有很多垃圾桶,但人们还是会发现停放的车辆之间倾倒垃圾。这里有一个不错的遛狗场地和一个带围栏的狗狗公园。这很不错,因为主楼不允许携带宠物。马里兰之家本身很宽敞,天花板很高,被布置成一个美食广场。这里提供各种各样的餐点、小吃、甜点和即食食品。中央座位区干净整洁,间隔适宜。南入口内有一个信息区,里面摆放着各种介绍当地景点的小册子和手册。问讯处没有人值班。我旅行时总是会寻找并阅读当地的历史标记,所以我很期待看到地图上显示位于入口附近的两个标记。结果两个标记都不见了。取而代之的是,每个位置都挂着一个牌子,上面写着:“此历史标记已由马里兰州交通部交通管理局根据马里兰州历史信托的授权拆除。此标记将翻新并重新安装。” 因此,我不得不上网到历史标记数据库查看这些牌匾上的内容。总的来说,休息区相当舒适,维护得很好,只是今天下午人有点多。
