[Adam West]

I have no clue on any of the answers.

My son in the 4th grade learned some Maryland history and I swear I didn't know half of the answers to what he was learning so I'm not even smarter than a 4th grader when it comes to local history and I'm a history buff.

[fallensaviour]

So no answers then???
