Well, I don't think there is really a need for the Frederick Group, but a
Northern DC Suburbs would be useful (I was just using Frederick as an example).
It really is not convenient for me to go to Virginia, nor is it convenient for
Virginians to come here to Maryland for sales (If there was a *really* good
sale, I'd consider it ;)). As to Salisbury and Cambridge, I'd go with
Salisbury, but I'm not really sure which is more prominent, as I spend very
little time east of the Chesapeake. ;) From Memory, Salisbury is on US Route
50, which is a major highway to the coast (and Ocean City). I don't remember
what, if any, major roads Cambridge is on.

Of course, if there are many more Local groups, the Local group page will need
a re-org into subpages. ;)
