The globe sculpture outside Rossmoor, Leisure World, between Aspen Hill and Olney, Maryland. It's an age restricted, gated retirement community. Apparently there are a few of these around the states, one in Middlesex County, NJ, another in Orange County, CA, another near Walnut Creek, CA and another in Arizona that also go by the name Rossmoor or Leisure World. Bizarre in its own way. Daniel </geek> @ 127.0.0.1 posted a photo: 
October 02, 2008 - The bus stop in Aspen Hill, MD were Ride-On bus drivers Conrad Johnson was shot and killed by the Beltway Sniper on October 22, 2002. Back in October 2002; 2 men murdered 10 people and injured 3 others in senseless acts of violence that took place in Montgomery County, Prince Georges, Prince William Counties, MD; Spotsylvania County, Arlington County, VA, and Ashland, VA. I personally remember this time, its one of the events that I will never forget. I still remember the locations of 4 of the shootings, I remember the media frenzy and the knowing that you were not safe, everything that you did you were always looking around, being on high alert. Even when pumping gas you feared for your life. Also, Ride On Bus #5722 has a banner on the side in Memory of Conrad Johnson (Orens Transit Page). See also the memorial bench. See the rest of the photos here. Daniel </geek> @ 127.0.0.1 posted a photo:
