What was it?...
I'm not really certain, but I've heard it commonly referred to as the local titty bar. You probably wouldn't be familiar because you are too highfalutin for Lexington Park. You probably were hangin in ChooChoos. So Rosie's would be the common man's ChooChoos.

:killingme..well you at least got that part right!

Old friend of mine's mom ran Rosie's; managed and often even provided housing for her "girls". So the only reason I was ever in there was to say "hi" to his mom. Honest.

well, as a young man in the mid 1960's, I thought Saint Mary's County was in 100,000 miles away from Northern PG County and the world revolved around College Park....
Shoot...I grew up in Hayard Conny in the 60s and, yes, the trips to the family property in 7D seemed to take days. Lots more dirt roads back then too.

That was back when the roads were upgraded to dirt, from mud, right?

In 1988 I was a brand new CGR butter bar assigned to the reserve unit at St Ingoes. My first weekend there, the crew decided that I needed to be welcomed to the unit by taking me to Rosie's. Now I went to A-school on Governor's Island NY, so Times Square "gentlemen's clubs" were what I was used to. That wasn't Rosie's. :barf:

Rosies's swore me off tiddy bars. Haven't set foot in one since.

You mean Frank Knox? Nah, that's the wrong area. There was a stationary store there, I believe a movie theater and a Mexican restaurant that served their Sangria in 50's style aliminumnumnum (probably spelled wrong) pitchers. It was ice cold and the best sangria I've ever had in my life bar none.
The mexican restaurant was The Pub La Casa. It was owned by Bill Bozes. There was a couple small shops on the south end of the building, the theatre. the pub and towards the end I remember a Jerrys subs on the south end of the building.

Writing that one down. I do a lot of reminiscing with someone who's lived here for a lot longer than I have and some of the things we remember are at odds. He didn't remember that particular restaurant nor Arthur Treacher's. He didn't even know what an Arthur Treacher's was. He's older than I am for Pete's sakes!!!

Thanks for the new info.
