[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to everyone for the valuable information. My husband is adamant against being located on Rockville Pike as he hates the congestion. Thank you to the person who gave the info on Arnold--ugh--my Chesapeake Bay fantasy is toast. We were going to visit the area and now we won't bother. We have thought of Frederick, but certainly don't like that there's a KKK presence north of there! Yuck.

For a student wanting Montgomery Blair is there a test to get in?

I will check out Poolesville and some of the other towns mentioned, but I know I would miss the urban feel. I'm from NYC originally and I crave a walkable, artsy neighborhood. I'm sure in the DC metro it's beyond impossible with a budget of $350,000. Plus my husband wants a medium-sized house!

We passed on a huge $450,000 split level in Bethesda with gigantic lawn in early 2001. What a colossal mistake.

Maybe we should consider outer-ring Baltimore...[/quote]

The information about the KKK in Thurmont is absolutely b.s.  Years and years ago there used to be a small group of rednecks who liked to think that they were big and bad and part of the KKK and occasionaly burned crosses.  That has not happened in over twenty years.[/quote]

My friend taught there a few years back.  Some KKK "queen" threatened to have her killed b/c she was an Italian.  The school had to "protect" her even though it was such a joke.

Don't accuse me of spreading BS.  We had a cake made for her on her birthday of a one-room school house with a sign that said, "Place your rifle here."

20 years my ass . . .[/quote]
