Pioneer Point, Maryland

Pioneer Point, also called Hartefeld Hall and Hartefeld House, is a Georgian style house and surrounding 45-acre estate near Centreville, Maryland, on Maryland's Eastern Shore lying on a peninsula formed by the confluence of the Corsica and Chester rivers. The property is owned by the Russian Government as a recreational place for its diplomatic staff in the United States and activities there are protected under diplomatic immunity. History Pioneer Point is the former estate of wealthy business executive, and builder John J. Raskob who is best known for building the Empire State Building in New York City. Raskob constructed the 19 room mansion originally known as "Hartefeld Hall" after purchasing a 1600-acre tract of land on the Eastern Shore in 1925. Raskob later built another large house nearby to accommodate his 13 children. After Raskob's death in 1950, the estate was subdivided and the mansion changed hands several times - at one point it was owned by millionaire industrialist R.J. Funkhouser. In 1972, the property was bought by the Soviet Government, with subsequent Soviet additions to the property being funded by granting two properties in Moscow to the United States State Department. In 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the property came under ownership of the Russian Government, with the property valued at $3 million at that time. In 2007, the property was likened to a dacha by Yuri Ushakov, the Russian ambassador to the United States. On December 29, 2016, Russian access to the site was commuted in the wake of the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 United States presidential election as part of a number of sanctions taken by the United States against Russian diplomatic personnel. President Barack Obama, in announcing the sanctions, stated that Pioneer Point and another compound in New York were "used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes." On May 31, 2017, six months after the sanctions, The Washington Post reported that President Donald Trump and his administration had decided to return Pioneer Point back to the Russian government.

Quiet Waters Park (Maryland)

Quiet Waters Park is a park in eastern Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States. It contains 340 acres (1.4 km2) and is operated by the Anne Arundel Recreation and Parks. It is open year-round. Organizations using the park include the Friends of Quiet Waters Park. As of 2023, it attracts over 800,000 visitors a year. History The park opened on Labor Day in 1990 after a protracted political fight. Then-County Executive O. James Lighthizer later said that getting the park open was "the toughest political fight in my 16 years of politics," but that it was worth it because after it opened, "everybody in the community, no exceptions, loved it." The land where the park now sits was purchased in early 1986 by developers who planned to build 250 luxury homes. When neighboring communities found out about this, the city of Annapolis and Lighthizer intervened, and the land was purchased by the county on October 30, 1987. Some in the community felt that the land should be left untouched, but a plan for a park modeled after Druid Hill Park in Baltimore and Central Park in New York City was put in motion. The park cost $12 million to develop, surpassing the original estimate of $8 million.

Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women

Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women (BLSYW, pronounced "Bliss") is a public charter middle and high school for girls in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, Maryland. It is the first public all girls' secondary school in the city that had both middle and senior high school levels. History Founded by philanthropist and women's rights advocate Brenda Brown Rever, it opened in 2009 with 120 students. It initially only served 6th graders, and was located on the third floor of the Western High School building. The people of Western High School opposed the idea of BLSYW being housed in that building. In 2010 BLSYW moved into its permanent campus, the former headquarters of the Greater Baltimore Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) in Mount Vernon, making it the first newly established public school in that area in a three decade period. In June 2016 the school's first 12th grade class, made up of 60 students, graduated. In 2017 director Amanda Lipitz released Step, a documentary about three students from the school who participate in a step dance competition. Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Baltimore Ravens contributed to the film's financing. Fox Searchlight Pictures received worldwide distribution rights for the film. Management As of 2016 the head of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Carla Hayden, is on the board of directors of BLSYW. Demographics In 2016, 59 of the girls in the 12th grade class were low income African-Americans. References External links Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women BLSYW at Baltimore City Schools
