Anyone else out there with me?
I was happy, then sad, to find this site. I've been reading through some of the threads. Smilin' one minute, cryin' the next. I left MD some moons ago. Never wanting to look back. I flew to the sunshine state, thinking sunny all the time would be great. Funny...how the thing's I longed to run from, are now the thing's I long to run back to. Though I am sure MD is not the same, nothing stays the same. Maybe just romancing the thought of it being like it once was. It did help to read in one of the threads that the "Bobwhites" and "Whip-er-wils" are no longer around...sad. One of the many thing's I miss. Also, the blue steamed crabs smothered in ole bay. Hardly can find any here in the south, not the way they make'em back home. *mouthwatering*
Anyhoo, thanks all of you here for all the trips down memory lane. Oh, one fella here, hmmm, forget his name, (sorry, incase you happen to pop in here) he made a site about Marlow Heights in the 60's and 70's, haven't had the time to check it out yet, but in one of your post you talked
about "Grits" ...thank you. Thought maybe I made them up. I remember them. I had forgot that that's what they were called until I read what you wrote. I went to Thomas Stone High school in the 70's. That's when I was introduced to them, course I tried to stay out of their way. But, sometimes it was very hard to do so, specially when needing to use the bathroom. They gathered there to smoke. I'll never forget the countless times the bathroom went up in flames after they'd string toilet paper around the stalls, then with a strike of a match..POOF. I learned how fast paper will burn. And for any Thomas Stone peeps out there that don't know, you can thank them for that space that is now called a smoking lounge...if it's still there. Have wondered about that also.
