Glen Burnie 马利兰州巴尔的摩和华盛顿特区之间,但裏巴尔的摩较近,算是巴尔的摩的远郊。是个小镇。根据 Google,全镇人口 4万左右,81%白人,13%黑人,2.4%亚裔。算是比较安全。Royal Farms 是一家快餐连锁店,也有加油的。
至於安全嘛,这个地方还不错。可以说是安全的,但并不是富人区。
购物很方便,到处都有 shopping center,但最好是自己有车。

[edit]History
The groundwork for Glen Burnie was laid in 1812, when a district attorney by the name of Elias Glenn established a county seat near what is currently known as Brooklyn Park in Baltimore City. He named his property "Glennsburne".
The name was changed to "Glennsbourne Farm", and eventually "Glenburnie", as the property was passed through Glenn"s descendants. Records also show the name as "Tracey"s Station" and "Myrtle", after local postmaster Samuel Sewell Tracey and one of Tracey"s boarders, before the final decision was made.
In 1854, William Wilkins Glenn, Elias Glenn"s grandson, incorporated the Curtis Creek Mining, Furnace and Manufacturing Company into his family"s property. The business flourished during the 19th century, and with it came several thousand acres of land in northern Anne Arundel County.
Upon the death of William Wilkins Glenn, his son, brother and nephew began to manage the family"s business affairs, and Glenburnie became an official state subdivision in 1888. The Glenn family contracted George T. Melvin and Henry S. Mancha to lay out and promote the town. It would not be until 1930 that postmaster Louis J. DeAlba decided two words were better than one, and gave the town a final name change to the current Glen Burnie.
[edit]Building through history
Among the earliest Glen Burnie schools was First Avenue Elementary, built in 1899. The oldest area church is St. Alban"s Episcopal, which was built in 1904, with many of its bricks dating back to Marley Chapel, an early Maryland parish from the 1730s. Crain Highway, one of Glen Burnie"s main thoroughfares (named after State Senator Robert Crain), opened in 1927 and Ritchie Highway (Maryland Route 2, named for ex-Governor Albert C. Ritchie) followed in 1939. Ritchie Highway carried nearly all Baltimore-area traffic headed for Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge until an alternate bypass road, Interstate 97, opened in the 1980s. Prior to the 1980s, it was served by the now-defunct Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad"s line between Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland. North Glen Burnie is now served by the Baltimore Light Rail system"s Cromwell/Glen Burnie station.
Schools and churches were built in the ensuing decades, and construction was completed on Harundale Mall, the first enclosed shopping center east of the Mississippi River, in 1958; it was one of the first shopping centers to be called a "mall" and was developed by James W. Rouse of the Rouse Company (which also developed nearby Columbia, Maryland). Glen Burnie Mall followed in 1962. Marley Station Mall, another large shopping center, opened in the February 1987. The Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles office building employs many people in town.
