I know Columbia was one of the earliest planned cities, but why those street names?
No, I'm over in more rural Highland. I back up to the Patuxent, just downstream from Brighton Dam.
I do a lot of my shopping & dining in Columbia now. There are indeed some wierd place names there.
A lot of Columbia could really use a face lift, IMO. Particularly all those funky little shopping enclaves tucked away on curvy streets. Many of them could stand to be bulldozed & rebuilt in a style more up with the times.

I lived in Olney for over 20 years, and was there during the sniper situation. My wife was driving to Bethesda daily at the time, so she passed by 3 of the shooting sites within a short time of the event. Besides the gas station in Kensington:
One incident in front of Leisure World shopping center, and one on Conneticutt Ave just above Georgia. She, like so many others here, was terrified to get out of her car.
