Any place closed to PA lines has my vote. Last time I came down there was only 3 people..So a shorter drive would certainly be nicer.

Rockville would be closer to you I think. Straight shot down 81 to 270. Dunno though, you'd have to mapquest it.
We had a pretty good crowd today at Columbia including someone from Delaware believe it or not.

Dude, i wish I live close to harrisburg, good times.:p

I know how it feels to be the only one show up to a columbia meet, it happened a few weeks back.. it happens i guess.. whatever.

Cleaned up some the thread a bit. Keep the suggestions coming!

Germantown as DM suggested. It's closer for the Va folks and it's a nice ride for B'more people too :tup:

Actually my vote is for Rockville. Closer for VA people, more accessible to PA people, someone central for MD people. The problem would be the folks coming from the north side of the beltway around College Park. Maybe we could alternate? I dunno.

Germantown starbucks has a big empty parking lot area but the restaurant choices suck. You only have Applebees and Agro Dolce (really cool place) within walking distance.

Rockville is cool for me but I wouldn't worry too much about the VA people. We need an accessible location for the Marylanders.

It would even be an option to have alternating MD locations... for example Rockville and Bowie. Both are good locations. Something to think about.

Rockville is cool, but that parking lot is way too busy, maybe it is not at the hour that we meet, I dunno 'cause I've never been there at 10:30.

Whatever we do we will probably end up giving certain locations trial runs and make sure they work for us.

Like I said, I'll drive over there and see if there's a free area. If not, I'll keep looking.

This. We don't need a location central to everyone, that's why we have Fairfax meets every week. I know for me personally, if it's in Rockville it might as well be in Fairfax. I'm probably not going to drive that far out very often. I think most MD people are closer to Columbia than they are to Rockville, but I guess we can leave that to the poll.

Whatever we do I don't want it to result in even lower average MD attendance. Seems like we have been doing pretty good lately so I want to keep the trend going in the right direction.

So here we go. Yes the shopping center is busy but the back of the parking lot near the two banks (between the Starbucks and the Krispy Kreme is deserted:
