SpeedRacer 1 #37 November 3, 2003 Frederick, Maryland Lots of Civil War history here. This city was briefly occupied by Rebel troops who demanded a ransom of a couple hundred thousand dollars. There were also a lot of hospitals here for Union troops. At one point the patients outnumbered the town's inhabitants. Also the birthplace of Francis Scott Key, composer of our national anthem. Also the site of the largest homebrew club in the state of Maryland. But it also has Fort Detrick, which was where America's biological weapon program was carried out until Nixon ended it in the early '70s. They are currently dismantling the building known as "The Anthrax Hotel" Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biggin Hill WWII fighter station (most German planes shot down during Battle of Britain); first voice radio communication between airplane and ground. Anne Boleyn's father owned much of it in 16th Century. Site of the Crystal Palace. Charles Darwin lived there; Jane Austen wrote about it in "Pride and Prejudice" Since the town existed for so long, I expect I forgot a few things (some added in edit)...
