Yep remember Dukes bar started working in St Mary's count in 1980 and worked there for 10 yrs at PAX NATC. A buddy of mines last name was Frazier and his mothers maiden name was Duke, i'm not sure but he always said his Uncle owned the place. Went there many time back in the days. Never had any trouble there but was not there too late on weekdays or weekends. Stopped by there many times on weekdays, late afternoon to early evening....

My brother and I used to go there when we were little kids too, but we also went to the Anacostia, the Naylor, and the one (can't remember the name) there on Pennsylvania Ave just up from Minnesota Ave. We didn't use peas.... we used SPITBALLS........:evil:

I see all these posts for Prince George's County and that isn't considered Southern Maryland! :shrug:I was young in the 60's. Born in 1960 but I remember a lot of great places in Southern Maryland

Now does anyone remember Penny's or Dukes Bar or the Wharf? Used to have great dances at all these places. Used to have some good fights also. Jackie always had the gun ready in case it got out of hand. How about Charlie's Villa in Callaway or Oakwood Lodge in Piney Point?

Now those are places in Southern Maryland. Can't get much more southern than St. Mary's County:lmao:

I remember all of those and a lot more: Lemar Lanes, Club Rio, The Galley, Little Billy's, Pat's Bar, Bambino's...just a few off the top of my head. Jackie is a trip - I hope he and Donna are happy in retirement. My family came back here in the late 60's after touring the country on the Navy plan and I've been here ever since.

And I'm SURE fellow forumite Remax remembers Oakwood Lodge VERY well. :lol:

I don't know.

I know Dickie Sr.'s daddy (Roland), built and started the place, and my grandfather worked for Roland(builder) back in the 40's before going in business for himself.

I'm just guessing here but if you know the family, ask them if they had any Duke relatives, that married a Frazier. I'm pretty sure he told me his Mother's maiden name was Duke, I'm pretty sure he went by Will,/ Bill,/William, and i could be wrong but just saying what he told me 28+ years ago???? He worked with me at PAX and lived in St. Marys County

Since you grew up in the Capitol Heights area, and I believe that you're just a tad bit older than me, I was wondering if the last name of "Zois" sounded familiar to you? Like Rocco Zois, or Annette Zois?

I grew up on 49th Avenue, which is old Capitol Heights. I was two blocks from the DC line. We just hung around our neighborhood of two or three blocks. I did not know the Zois family.

Actually PG County is considered part of Southern MD. Maybe not Deep Southern MD, but Southern MD. And so many people now living in Deep Souther MD grew up in PG.

Old Pharts Club sounds good to me. Pharts disappear unless you paint them red.
