Growing Up in Southern Maryland

[buttercupp]

Huh? I am not a bum. I'm a jerk. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends and... uh... my thermos. Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi.

One of the best movies ever made. (He hates these cans.)

The old St. Mary's Hospital......then here in town...

I was born in St Mary's hospital in 1966, however it was St. Mary's hospital in Long Beach, Ca. funy how I started in a St. Mary's and nded up in a St. Mary's on the opposite side of the country.
I don't think they made the Chuck t's that small though.

The new phone books are here!!! The new phone books are here!!!


I grew up in the Oxon Hill/Fort Washington area and graduated from Oxon Hill in 69. Oh how nice it was to lay on the grass at the Fort, listen to the 23 minute version of Get Ready by Rare Earth, and get buzzed on 16oz. Budweiser.

Ahhhhhh.. to my youth....

Marlow Heights, which became Temple Hills for some unknown reason in the early to mid '80s.

Yup. The Fort was the place to go when you skipped.

I am a product of the 50's, We wore Engineer boots and Jeans rolled up. A shirt with the collar turned up. Elvis style. Girls wore 15 or 20 crenolines, and two-tone shoes, or penny loafers.

Went to Maggie Brent when it was a High School and had Blinks for the Principle.

I drove a cab in Marlow Heights when I was going to college. Loved Steak in a Sack.

Love me some Don Albertos steak subs. The best I've ever had.

My mother graduated from Margaret Brent in '60. I have my mom's highschool ring, with its big ole ruby in it. She told me she paid $16.50 for it, with her 25 cents per hour babysitting money

I grew up in the same area, but graduated from Friendly in 78. We used to hit the Fort too.

My parents never moved and we went from Camp Springs to Oxon Hill to Fort Washington. The last two changes were during my 18 years at home!

Regina's and Oscar's!! Oh, and Port of Italy and Little Italy!

My Mom still has a picture on her wall that was taken in the trailer in the Marlow Heights Shopping Center of Me, my Brother, and Sister on Santa's lap. Think I was about 4. Great times and great memories!! After I got married, we lived in Heather Hill Apartments for a while and ended up in Morningside before moving down here.

I also DID NOT grow up in Southern Maryland. I grew up in PG County and went to Surrattsville Junior/High School. I am proud to say I am from Cli'en. I am not going to tell anyone on this forum when I graduated or how old I am. I am still 29 for as long as I can hold on to it.

My parents used to go to Giovani's. I can still remember the smell of that place. Playing pool and pin ball machines while they sat at the bar.

Surrattsville High was our biggest competition in Baseball. It was always Central and Surrattsville playing for the AB Championship.
