Some old photos from St. Mary's County I've found off of Facebook. Enjoy!

Those are cool, thanks.

Neat article about St. Mary's in the 50s. One photo shows the old Park Theater we were discussing earlier.

Finishing the Governor Thomas Johnson bridge in 1977, finally linking lower Calvert to St. Mary's.
Hill's Halfway House at the 235/5 intersection in Mechanicsville, now a Wawa.
Red's Chevron at the intersection of 235 and Chancellors, later became Hewitt's Service Center, then demolished to build Sheetz.
Rustler Steak House at the corner of St. Mary's Square in Lexington Park, now an auto parts place.
St. Mary's Square back in 1985.

I was a late comer to the area, but I remember Red's as Hewitts before he moved and the building got torn down for Sheetz.

Oh heck, I remember when they put the light in at that intersection. Mr. Hewitt sold that property for a pretty penny if I remember correctly.

Before my legal time and was aware of such things. Who owned it back then? Didn't it become Earl's or am I thinking of some other place?

Any pic's of the old Ark & Dove, Two Spot, Elephants Trunk? I remember Hewitt's at the old location. I have been here since 1990.

I've seen one or two pictures of the various reincarnations of the Ark & Dove but need to find them again.

I haven't seen any of the Two Spot club or Elephants Trunk yet. I loved, loved, LOVED that kitschy store and have some things still that I bought there, but most purchases I made there were for gifts.

Also, there was big old pink farmhouse where the Deloitte building is. Old black guy fared there and sold his goods on a wagon by 235.

I was never in the Elephant's Trunk, but I do remember there used to be a little seafood outlet next to it, or very near it. When I lived in NY and flew down on the corporate Beechcraft to Pax, the pilots would always run to the store and get a bushel of crabs just before we flew back.

Tennyson's Bar would sell cigarettes and Boone's Farm to 11-year-old kids. Don't ask me how I know.

I used to play Pitch a lot, but that was over 20 years ago and now I can't remember how!
