and live in Arlington, and Arlington is definitely a satellite city of
D.C., it's a darned huge satellite city, and it's across the river from
D.C., and its metro area goes deep into Virginia.  Anyhow, you often hear
of "Duluth/Superior" on the local news, but I don't think you often hear
of "D.C./Arlington," is this correct?  How about Alexandria?  :)

Of course Virginia gets a local group for D.C. suburbs, but not Maryland.  Do
I detect a state preference here?  ;)  But seriously, I would like to see a
Local group for D.C.'s Northern suberbs, as they stretch up to Fredrick (an
hour and a half from me in Silver Spring).  Also, Maryland has one Local
group: Baltimore.  This leaves the Panhandle and the South-East side of the
Chesapeake with nowhere to post.  A Local Maryland Group(1) could remedy that.

(1)  Whether there is enough people to warrant one is a completely different
question...  ;)
