Court House Challenge PA

Nexus you can do it anyway you want but one of the hard things about taking pictures of all the COUNTY courthouses is being sure you are at the county courthouse.

The county courthouse I would have used is right behind the DISTRICT courthouse in Towson you took a picture of. 400 Washington Ave.

That Baltimore City adds something I've never came across before. I read it's the same level as a county??

Sorry, I used "<Insert County Name> courthouse" in google maps to find courthouses. The County Goverment building in Towson doesn't show up that way. The way I saw the rules as "drive to a courthouse in the county," I guess is not the same as, "drive to the courthouse in every county." Although, either way, I would have missed the Townson one anyway.

I just used the county map. To the best of my knowledge, although Baltimore City is not actually a county, it is considered the equal of a county. Went there to be safe.

I once contemplated trying to get all the MD courthouses in a day. It seemed doable, at least on paper.

As an added difficulty my "rules" were no backtracking, no interstates except around Hancock where there is no real alternative, no leaving and reentering a county or the State...

Start early afternoon on the Eastern Shore, so that you hit the Baltimore and DC areas in the wee hours when traffic is lowest, finish up headed west to get Frederick, Washington, Allegheny, and Garrett Counties at the end.

But I never actually tried it.

For statistical purposes, as well as administratively, yep.

In addition to Baltimore, St. Louis City in Missouri is administratively separate from the surrounding county. There are several places in Virginia where a city is independent of and administratively separate from the county that surrounds it.

Alexandria City, Fairfax City, Falls Church City, Richmond, Fredericksburg, Staunton, and several others are examples.
