Omigosh! My HS-aged grandson is supposed to be going there in June for a “summer seminar”. I think that it is an opportunity for him to check out the campus and program prior to application. It never occurred to me that Annapolis was any where near the riots.
Not to worry. Annapolis is maybe 50 miles SE of Baltimore, and there is no mass transit between.
The USNA is 30 miles from downtown B-more (straight shot down I-97).
its not.....
Your grandson will be fine. These midshipmen were visiting Baltimore from Annapolis. I am betting that your grandson’s group will not be allowed to roam into any questionable parts of Annapolis. And the Naval Academy is well guarded, especially since September 11.
Annapolis, our state capital, is a lovely town, which calls itself the “Sailing Capital of the World”. We visit there quite often, and we feel very safe. Will be visiting the first week of June for a garden tour.
The naval academy is maybe 20 to 25 miles away from the Orioles stadium. Those middies were having a day out to see a major league sports event. But the naval base is secure, and there is plenty to do in the surrounding town of Annapolis.
