Don't get wrapped up in the 'Nuclear' aspect of the Nike middle bases. They were surface to air systems used to protect the coastal cities from Soviet bombers. Not all were nuclear, and their power was low compared to ICBMs and SLBMs. They were all decommissioned in the early 70s with much of the land being turned over to the locals. One of the Baltimore sites is now a dog kennel. It's a neat bit of history, it's been a hobby of mine too seek out the sites and visit if possible. The two most interesting in our area is the Granite MD site which is now a civil air patrol facility, and there is one in the DC suburbs in Montgomery Co that is a FEMA storage facility. Of you want to see what they looked like in their hey day, you'll have to go visit the site in the Everglades that protected Miami. It's a National Park exhibit.

Neat ride, I was wondering how you were getting from your home to Catonsville! I'm surprised you didn't mention all the music shops on the drag along with the restaurants. It's a nice downtown to stroll along.
