[edit] Bunnyman

Once again we enter that prima grey area, the verifiability of a legend. I think that it can be verified that the legend exists. However, obviously it would be much harder to verify whether the legend has any factual basis; if this could be done, it would be more than a mere legend. So, what are legitimate verifiability standards for proving a legend exists as a legend, so that I can't just start a legend that says "My Town Hall is haunted!"

[edit] Montgomery County

This article only mentions the portion of Rock Creek Park in the District of Columbia. Only half of the park is in the District (the half under the management of the National Park Service). The other half of the park is in Montgomery County, Maryland under the management of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (MNCPPC). These portions of the park include Lake Needwood, Lake Frank, and Meadowside Nature Center. The Rock Creek Trail begins at Lake Needwood and follows along the creek all the way to the National Zoo. This is important information about the park, not included in the article.

[edit] need new map

could we please have a better, more detailed map that shows the whole length of the park? (instead of what we have now, which is just a general map of the USA that shows approximately where DC is?) --thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.30.65 (talk) 04:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

It used to say: "majority of foreign embassies are located to the west, as well as in Georgetown."

This is NOT true. According to my calculations 115 of the 180 embassies in DC are actually located east of the park. Many of those being in the Kalorama neighborhood( east of rock creek).
