Growing Up in Southern Maryland

[BakeMyFish]

I wasnt either block or greaser, guess you could say I was kind of a collegiate. I do remember all the fights the first year Potomac opened, had to have the police in the halls for like about 10 days, because the Hillcrest guys and Oxon Hill people were fighting over whos turf Potomac was going to be. I went to Crossland 66, brother and my future wife went to Potomac and most of my friends went to PHS. Ended up knowing more people there then at Crossland, use to cruise Glassmanor all the time some of the hottest girls at Potomac lived there. Ft Washington Park was always on our route of travel.

I was Block. The Collegiates (I suspect) had discovered pot, while we were a bunch of Scudweiser romper stompers. Wish I had known the Collegiates better back then. We could have saved some damage to our cars from being drunken, driving bums.

I had an Evening Star route....

Remember the Daily News?

Did it have "Bake My Fish" embroided on it with the 2 dice? If so, I threw it out on my way back to Oxon Hill.

Actually it was dark green and had "Bird" embroidered on it and our "fraternity" DAK logo. We thought we were bad.

Bay -N- Surf was great way back!! Did you know a Teresa Harrison in Boonsboro, about one year older then you?

That name doesn't ring a bell. I even checked my yearbooks and we didn't have any Harrisons. Could that be a married name?

Hey!!!!!!!!! I "resemble" that remark

 

[BakeMyFish]

Ok, I'm back. What's next?

 

[BakeMyFish]

Yes, moved down here in 82. I was tired of everything I had up there getting stolen.

Were you being harassed by your neighbors?

Someone mentioned Dixie Pig yesterday. I know that place is closed, but are there any others? I looked online and it seems there are a bunch of different places named Dixie Pig, but I don't think they are the same.

I grew up with duckipins. Best place was Parkland.

We used to go to Clancy's probably 2 - 3 times a week for lunch...(Beer & PizzA) Watched the girls too... There was another little joint across the street from Clancy's just a little ways up...Can't think of the name right now but we went there a lot too... Twirl them pasties

I have been in Eldersburg for 22 years. My wife works at Bullock's meats. Really cute blonde. Thin.

Man, Clancy's. I used to pick up a dancer there and took her to her Methadone clinic. She was a regular passenger. Really hot. But a junkie.
