That just goes to show how absolutely CLUELESS the producers of the show
are about the locale where their own show is supposedly set! It just
amazes me that they can't even look at a simple map of the DC area and
plainly see that Scully obviously cannot WALK from her apartment in
Annapolis to a bus stop in Crystal City, Va!!! Grrrr...

: Washington Post, Weekend Section, December 15, 1995. "X Marks The Spot: On

: On page 6 - ...We traced a few of these settings across the real map of

: succession of northern Montgomery settings. Carter's brother now lives
: around Kalorama, entirely uncoincidentally the location where the show's
: creator places FBI agent Scully's apartment.
: Page 7 - A map with X-Files settings marked. In the description for Scully's
: apartment: 'Just southwest of Kalorama. Prone to frequent visits by
: liver-eating mutants, alien abductees and armed anonymous agents. Apartment
: 35 is perfect evidence of why ground-floor apartments are a bad security
: risk. Maybe that's why Scully seems to move so oftenÑher apartment has
: changed location several times.'
: For inquiring minds, Kalorama, I think, is an area near Dupont Circle.
: BTW, Mulder's Apartment is described: 'Capitol Hill. Mulder's nondescript
: apartment, #42, with a window often "accessorized" with an X marked out with
: masking tape. Occasionally "redecorated" by often unknown, always
: unapprehended government agents.'
: So, there it is. I just thought I'd add more fuel to the debate. The article
: itself was pretty good. Check it out on microfilm if you get a chance.

I could swear that in some ep where there atr Scully's apartment it says
on the little caption Annapolis. And Mulder lives in Virgina or at least
he's got a Virgina Licsence
