GM made 305s before they made 307s. That could start an argument with a lot of people.

The Patapsco River's source is just south of town along Ridge Road/MD27. It gathers up all the creeks and streams from the Eastern Piedmont slope till it hits the Chesapeake Bay at Baltimore. It's a tidal river more like the bay and what makes the inner harbor. I think it's only about 30 miles long. Nobody around here ever talks about it, but right in the middle near the mouth is Fort Carroll. It's built on a manmade 3 1/2 acre island and was designed by Robert E. Lee back before he was appointed to West Point. It was built to better protect Baltimore, before reaching Ft. McHenry. It hasn't been used since 1921 I think and the lighthouse since the '60s

Anyway, it's this cool island you can see out on the water, especially when circling around the east side of the city from the south on I-695. You cross the river on the Key Bridge
