From the North Cove Dictionary: North Cove

North Cove (north-kov): A street in Toledo, OH, location of Derek's house, a major North Cove Avengers headquarters, from whence is derived the group's name. See the map:

You can see that North Cove passes in front of a section of Jermain Park, where war games and excercises in stealth and subterfuge took place (see vietnam.) The North Cove hideout was accessible by bike or by car (see Buttwheat.) In early NCA history, bikes were the preferred mode of transportation, since few if any of the Avengers could drive. The preferred approach was not to drive around North Cove to the front of the house, but to take side streets from the north, maneuver behind the house via a back alley, then park in the rear driveway.

The North Cove hideout was perfectly situated as a staging area for forays (by bike or on foot) into environs surrounding Jermain and Ottawa parks. The basement proved adequate enough to sleep a large number of teenage guys.

Avengers, maybe this brief description will trigger some other memories of North Cove in particular. Maybe you'd like to fill in some details, or define some of the above terms. (Vietnam, for example, as I wasn't present for the BB gun wars...)
