… rank UD‘s town, Garrett Park, third on their list of ten favorite historic districts:
Garrett Park Historic District
Garrett Park, MarylandAs a railroad community, Garrett Park developed over time. Many of its houses—sprawling Victorians—date to the 1890s, while the neighborhood also boasts an array of modest 1920s-era “Chevy Houses,” which came complete with a car in the garage at purchase. We love the eclectic mix of this community, which is also reflected in its neighborhood spirit, evidenced by a sign on prominent display along the main road since the 1980s, boasting “Nuclear Free Zone.” (The train still runs, too—you can hear the whistle echo through the streets.)

Yeah, I noticed the “nuclear free zone” signs….I assume you have special filters on the power lines to ensure that Pepco does not presumptuously send any electricity originating at Calvert Cliffs or any other nuclear power plants?

Totally, david. We also have infrared detectors all along the train tracks to make sure trains with nuclear materials don’t go through town.
