Yes! There was one in Hillcrest Heights on St. Barnabas Rd. at the end of Temple Hills Rd. My neighbor Mrs. Pinto worked there.

Would go to that one all time for lunch or just hang out, I loved the Barnbuster burger. Remember when they were giving the Coke glasses away with the big meal? Had many of them when we got married in cupboard. I may still have a couple way in the back of the cupboard to this day.

Must be getting old, where is Lewisdale? The only Toys R Us I remember was up on Rt. 450 at the end of Riverdale Road. My family used to go to the Red Barn down by Bladensburg Jr. high on occasion but I seemed to remember going to one up on Rt. 1 towards College Park somewhere more often. That was also in the mid 70's. And yes, even in 1977 we could walk around good ole PG County and not have to worry about getting shot at, mugged or anything else. I moved away in '78 and this is the closest I have lived since then thanks to Pax River NAS.

If Im not mistaken Lewisdale was along Adelphi Rd just down from Rhode Island Ave, I remember the Toys R Us there, I had relatives that lived in that area, was alos a big community park right there, and if Im not mistaken in the shopping center there was Ledo's, the first Ledo's ever, the original one..:shrug:

Lewisdale was inside a border of University Blvd,Riggs Rd, and East-West Highway. The Red Barn was almost across from Jombo grocery store in the shopping center with the 1st Ledo pizza. I believe the park was called Lane Manor. I moved away from that area in 1979 and have not really been back..dont have any body armor. The toys R us sat on a liitle side rd, might be 52nd ave or something off of University Blvd. Its not faf at all from U of Md and Adelphi RD.

Never heard of it, but, BakeMyFish, your website with memories cracked me up!
I appreciate that. I update it with memories all the time. Check out some of the videos in the header. Lots of fun stuff. Sometimes it's good to be old.
