OOC: Location, location, what-the-hell, location

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Okay, question for admin-types, and it's not a criticism. Just an observation that's been bugging me since the day Fandom High got pegged as being part of Alexandria, Virginia.

Alexandria is next to the Potomoc River. Right outside Washington D.C., which is on the Chesapeake Bay. Not the ocean. It's pretty far inland, actually. About 80 miles.

I don't know why FH got named as being in Alexandria, but for it to be an island off the coast of Virginia-- one with a causeway that (according to the maps we've been drawing) runs north-south, it has to be further south and east than Alexandria.

Two solutions suggest themselves:

1) Being part of Alexandria is a legal bizarreness that we'll just accept as a hold-over from Colonial or whatever times. It's Fandom's mailing address. It's got nothing to do with geography.

2) It's nowhere near Alexandria. And we should change the address.

Either way? An island the size of FH can't fit into the middle of the Bay near Alexandria. And since we don't have the Capital Beltway on the horizon, so I assume we are still off the coast.

This might be a good spot for us. Either east and south of Chincoteague, or south and maybe east of Kiptopeke along HWY13 (Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel), or we could be southeast of Virginia Beach or Norfolk.

Yeah, we're a magic island, we don't have to obey the laws of physics or cartography. Except we've been driving off the island and going other places, and yes, my OCD is showing: I'd like to know distances. I know this is not any kind of priority, I'm just asking for opinions, or ideas.
