I'm liking Jrmy. But, during the Civil War most of MD was pro Rebel. Does that count? Come on, people. Let Capitol Heights in. I couldn't help where my parents lived. Please?

Reading ALL these posts about Southern MD kinda makes me homesick for MD. HOWEVER you'll can have your traffic , crime , congestion ETC ETC ETC, Here in North Carolina it's like St Marys in 1970 !!!!!

Now I remember when I would call back to see when the cab would get there she would always ask a man to check. Funny what minor things you can remember after all these years. Thanks for jogging my memory.
Malfunction Junction was in Clinton, in the bowling alley area.

I publish a post about every two weeks. You can check it or I can put you on my email list. I appreciate you reading it. My Blog is my passion. Check out the Red Barn post. It's got a lot of local memories, too.

Curly's Bowling alley and on the oppisite side from Curlys where the Walmart parking lot is, was a wooded lot that had a old house on it the was used one year or maybe several for a haunted house at Halloween.
That "old" house on the corner where the WalMart now stands used to be a Chinese Restaurant & Carry Out years ago. They had slot machines everywhere and because it was so small, 2 people had a hard time passing each other in the hallways. Down the street on the opposite side from Curly's was the old "Hamilton Brothers" bar. That place had almost as bad (if not worse) a reputation as Sunnybrook did.

Ya gotta try this place on Old Washington Road in Waldorf. Called the You-C Carry Out. They make a ham, egg, and cheese sub that is so damn good! I get one at least once a week with fried onions. It's as good if not better than the ones I used to get from the old Jiffy Shoppe Carry Out in Eastover years ago.
Take it from the fat man
That place was great. I use to get the soft serve too.

A few things:
Anybody remember how bad Banlon shirts used to smell when they got wet (maybe it was just me
)
I remember watching my brother race his mustang at Acquasco Speedway in the late 60s. Learned how a standard transmission worked.
Does anybody remember that there was a strip club where Mattawoman Beantown Road is now? I don't think it closed until the late 80s or early 90s.
I know none of you ever went to the Moonlight Inn! When I was a kid that was the landmark I would use to let me know we were almost home when coming up from visiting my grandparents in Virginia.
