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.

David,
I usually think of Bel Air, ( where I live) as far above the DC area, but during that time, it felt way too close. Knowing that someone could hit I95 and be in Harford County in 45 minutes or so was not very reassuring. I can only imagine the stress of actually living, and driving past the know target sites.
Glad it is over.
