There is some effort to revive the US Collaboration of the Month, as part of WikiProject US.  This past month, [[George Washington]] was the collaboration.

For April, [[Chesapeake Bay]] has the most votes, but technically needs two more people to vote for the topic.  As a local topic, I think we can make useful contributions and improve the article.  Would anyone be interested in helping with the article?
