That is all I wanted to say, that it has not always been the border as you claimed. If Johnson is considered the border now, then that is fine - I am in Germantown either way - and I will take you and Jazzcat at your word that it is. As I said previously, I know nothing of the politics involving Mt. Airy USA trying to take over the neighborhood, as you both are clearly (and maybe rightfully) upset about.
All I was doing was establishing facts, and linking to a more respected source to do so. Facts cannot be dismissed solely based on who has repeated them, as long as they are verifiable, as I think an official city map would serve to do.
I did not mean to argue with anyone, though I know that is what I should have expected on a message board.
