14. Only about a mile and a half
I was born in Anne Arundel General Hospital, off Church circle in downtown Annapolis.

I live in Eastport, across Spa creek from downtown, and south about a mile
perhaps a mile and a half as the crow flies.

23. 2.71 miles, according to Mapquest

26. The hospital I was born in has been torn down
Edited on Tue Mar-22-05 11:51 PM by Zuni
and they are building a real classy 'New Urbanist'/'Neo-Traditionalist' community of condos, rowhouses and shops where Arundel General used to be.

Note--they did replace the hospital, with a larger, more modern complex a few miles away
