Well, that's mighty friendly of you, Sandy!

Edgewood Arsenal is actually about 15 miles north of Bawlmer on an island in the Chesapeake Bay. The area has been sorta absorbed by the Baltimore suburbs now but in the '50s it was pretty countrified, a mix of farms and inexpensive summer cottages along all the creeks and estuaries of the Bay.
