		+
		+	I just found the neighborhood where Ziggy goes on his rampage & shoots Glekas: just across the street from 3920 Eastern Ave -- it's the only address I could nail down when I was searching around. Think it might be something to work into the East Side portion of the tour? Looks like a fairly interesting little neighborhood
		+
		+	BTW, not long after you replied last June, I took a trip down to Aberdeen MD for a wedding & made a point of doing a short day trip to Bal'more. Stopped at Chaps for lunch, food was goooooood!
		+
		+	Also stopped at EA Poe's house, did the little tour inside & then went to his grave site in Westminster Burial Ground, corner of Fayette & Greene Sts. Could be a stop on the tour as well, just be sure to mention that there's a monument right near the entrance, the actual grave is down the path & behind the church.

	:Good eyes! I wonder if that was my mistake or one that I borrowed from elsewhere ;) In any rate, I don't think it's worth putting Holy Redeemer Cemetery in this tour, just since it's a little too far away from the other "attractions," but nice to have it documented on this talk page, at least. --[[User:Peterfitzgerald\|Peter]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Peterfitzgerald\|Talk]]</sup></small> 20:05, 28 June 2012 (EDT)		:Good eyes!

	If you look at the scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmqZkpM_ZsI - skip to about the 5:00 mark), you'll see that the roads of the cemetery they used for filming are all straight, as is the orientation of the graves. For the most part the roads in Greenmount are curvy. Also, the green-domed tower in that shot is definitely from Holy Redeemer - I checked it out Google Earth.

		+	== Greenmount Cemetery... ==
		+
		+	Just like to point out a slight error in the North Central section:
		+
		+	The cemetery where Omar 1st meets McNulty & Greggs isn't Greenmount - it's actually Holy Redeemer Cemetery on Belair Rd. The entrance that McNulty uses is located along Moravia Rd - there are two, I can't really pinpoint which one they use.
		+
		+	If you look at the scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmqZkpM_ZsI - skip to about the 5:00 mark), you'll see that the roads of the cemetery they used for filming are all straight, as is the orientation of the graves.

		+	I don't remember Greenmount being mentioned in the scene but the producers may have been trying to pass Holy Redeemer off as Greenmount or another graveyard closer to downtown.
