to Northeast TAs...

i agree.. however, i think there are more DC ppl/events than northeast[excluding nyc..]

i know, but stuff goes on in lots of cities in the northeast and sometimes ppl post abotu them.

Posted by Konijn on Sep-15-2003 19:17:

if you mentally move borders southward, then DC can also become the northeast...

something to ponder...

Posted by dj tek on Sep-15-2003 19:19:

i think it should be called 'New York City/Washington DC/N. East USA' like under chicao section of usa, its 'Chicago/Detroit/& N. Central USA'... i feel then, it will be fair for everyone..

well.. then, if we change the actual name of the website to Addicts of Trance, we would no longer be a NYTA, but a NEAT.

i thought DC was part of the Northeast?

No mid-atlantic. Bordering on the south. Although my friends in SC would disown me if I said that to them.

And none of you wouldn be whistlin' Dixie if it weren't for the Penns and the Calverts.

In 1632, King Charles I of England gave the first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, the colony of Maryland. Fifty years later, in 1682, King Charles II gave William Penn the territory to the north, which later became Pennsylvania. A year later, Charles II gave Penn land on the Delmarva Peninsula (the peninsula that includes the eastern portion of modern Maryland and all of Delaware).

The description of the boundaries in the grants to Calvert and Penn did not match and there was a great deal of confusion as to where the boundary (supposedly along 40� north) lay. The Calvert and Penn families took the matter to the British court and England's chief justice declared in 1750 that the boundary between southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland should lie 15 miles south of Philadelphia. A decade later, the two families agreed on the compromise and set out to have the new boundary surveyed.

Remember also that Annapolis, Md. was once our Nations Capitol and that Washington, D.C. was given to the Federal Gov't by the Colony of Maryland.

Also, Delaware was a part of the Union but was still a slave state.

Yeah I'm a dork, I took a Maryland History class as an elective in high school. I'm happy to have remembered some of what I learned because I paid very little attention.
