Ruxton and Riderwood are unincorporated communities in Baltimore County, Maryland. They are sometimes considered a part of Towson and are part of Towson's census area. The boundaries of Ruxton have been established largely by local custom. Both the eastern boundary, Charles Street, and the western, Falls Road, are generally agreed upon. The northern and southern boundaries are somewhat imprecise. To the northeast, Ruxton and neighboring Riderwood are bounded by the Baltimore Beltway (I-695); to the northwest, affiliation with Ruxton follows West Joppa Road, the Old Court Road extension alongside the Baltimore-Harrisburg Expressway (I-83), and finally Ruxton Road to the intersection with Falls. A southern boundary can be discerned by drawing a crude line from the southerly intersection of Bellona Avenue and Charles to the intersection of West Lake Avenue and Falls. ==History== Ruxton was once the location of the country estates of Baltimore's wealthy landed gentry. Though the area became suburbanized during the course of the twentieth century, Ruxton is still considered one of the premier neighborhoods in the Baltimore area, along with Roland Park, Homeland, Guilford and the Falls Road corridor. Many of the original estates still remain, though there have been many new homes built between them. The St. John's Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In 1994, the movie ''Serial Mom'' was filmed in Ruxton at the Church of the Good Shepherd, on Boyce Avenue. In 2005, Australian actress Nicole Kidman moved into Ruxton, renting a house in the Four Winds neighborhood, on Boyce Avenue, as she filmed her movie The Invasion in downtown Baltimore, opposite Daniel Craig. Scenes in "Runaway Bride" with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere were filmed at Gill's Garage on West Joppa Road. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruxton-Riderwood, Maryland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
