[edit] Georgia Avenue
I believe this sentence is wrong: "Georgia Avenue (MD State Highway 97), which originates in Washington, D.C. and ends in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, passes through Brookeville." Google maps shows Georgia Avenue ending in Brookville at Roxbury Mills Road. Also, there doesn't seem to be a Georgia Avenue in Gettysburg, PA. Can anyone verify any of this? --dm (talk) 06:53, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- well, the road doesn't end in Brookville and does go to PA. Georgia is route 97, same road -- if 97 is called Georgia all the way through to PA I don't know. Should be able to tell by googling on a ficticious Georgia Ave mailing address in towns along the way.-- Stbalbach 15:53, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

- In Montgomery County, the addressing system uses Georgia Avenue (though, it's also designated MD state route 97). Beyond that in Howard County and Carroll County, it's just Route 97 (see address for Bushy Park Elementary School). And, in Pennsylvania, it's obviously not MD state route 97, but PA state route 97. Perhaps we could reword this sentence better, though to make clear that the name "Georgia Avenue" is only used in Montgomery County and the District of Columbia. -Aude (talk | contribs) 16:27, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Madison House
I am a resident of the area and pass the Madison House often. I believe that the picture for the Madison House is not the correct building. The real building is gray stone and house other houses next to it.--Rsween1 (talk) 08:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Population
I live here and the population is exponentially greater than 120. -PhattyFatt 14:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
