Growing Up in Southern Maryland

[BakeMyFish]

Man this disscussion is sure bringing back some fond memories.

Remember the Quonset Hut very well.

Also used to go into DC on Good Hope Rd. to Clancy's Irish Pizza Parlour. Drink beer, eat pizza and watch the go go girls.

Bake My Fish, I see that you live in Eldersburg, I'm in Westminster.

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

I don't know him. DC cabs were different companies than Yellow.

My uncle drove a Yellow cab way back when - did you know a Harry Gray?

My nephew and his family live up there... I think he lives on Compton Lane. Nice area!

Definitely Penn Mar.

I remember when they built Penn-Mar shopping center. Where the mall is now across the street were 2 baseball fields where my daddy coached Forestville Boy's Club. Ray Miller, former skipper of the Orioles was on his team. There was a ball diamond where Penney's is now and at the other end where K-Mart is/use to be.

There was a open space between the drug store and the bank, led down a sidewalk to the stairs for the few offices above the bank, my dentist was up there.
Highs was on the left.
Man alot of Italians in the area back then, is the Alfieri the one with Silver Hill FD. who has been chief and all kinds of other offices over the years and now lives in Charlotte Hall?

Great, then I did remember the space between the buildings.
John was the barber (Mike's Dad) and Mike is the fire guy or chief or big cheese at Silver Hill VFD. He's my cousin, of course. You might know my brother if you know Mike. Joey D? Can't give last name on here. Small world eh?

None of you guys were the ones that hung out in that empty space in Hillcrest shopping center are you? I remember hating to have to walk by there. I guess most of you went to Benjamin Stoddart too.

I never hung out in that empty space. Only on the sidewalk and then only when I was visiting my uncle's barber shop which was about once a month.
I lived in the house at the top of the hill from Stoddert. I could see it from my front yard and played football for years on their field on weekends.

Someone mentioned Salad Bowl...disco dancing. I remember going there...Silver Hill Road?

Anyone remember the Brass Rail? There also was a disco dancing spot on St. Barnabas Road in an office building...downstairs?

Also use to go to Clinton Inn.

 

[farmcats]

Salad Bowl under the liquor store in District Heights across from DHVFD.
Clinton Inn Yep!!
How about Sam's Crabhouse in Clinton.

Did anyone drive a Road Runner?

 

[BakeMyFish]

You know, there is only one Arthur Treacher's left in MD, and it's in Marlow Heights.

Did anyone drive a Road Runner?

What year ?....

 

[BakeMyFish]

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

Steak, Egg and Cheese? Sound like McDonald's.

 

[BakeMyFish]

Anyone know the Burchs? Donny and Joe?

 

[JimW711]

Did anyone drive a Road Runner?

My brother had a White 1968 Roadrunner with the Blue Vinyl interior and the red stripe tires. It wasn't as fast as the 1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT that I had. But he became a Maryland State Trooper and had a 1969 Ford police car with a 429 in it. The Comet was faster, but not as fast as the radio........

You know, there is only one Arthur Treacher's left in MD, and it's in Marlow Heights.

I'm surprised it's still there. It opened in the mid 70s. I haven't been up that way for at least 8 years, no reason to go.

He went to LA for a bit in the 70's/80's, but he's in Laurel now. He's been in a bit of a haze since LA.

 

[Old Timer]

Funny name.

For an incredibly funny man. Even now, years after he died, nobody is quite sure what the true story is behind him losing part of a finger - he gave everybody a completely different story.

He was a riot when he drove his taxi. When my brother was up for a visit in the early 70's he took us (probably a total of 7 of us squished together) for a tour of DC in the taxi which included a stop at the Watergate so he could pee in the bushes.
