Sure do. Didnt it burn down?
Did you ever sleigh ride on suitland parkway? 'bout got killed but went back for more:roflmao:

Yep, used to sleigh ride on Suitland Parkway, my sister and I were just talking about that the other day. We could just walk over there.

Village Barn did burn down. My friends mom used to work there, so we used to go when she was working. I even worked as a short order cook there on weekends for a few months.

Pezfreak and Lam2.

I lived in morningside from 1974 - 1978 and attended Morningside Elementary. I remember biking up to the G.I. market for candy bars. I used to fly kites off the hill along suitland parkway.

A buddy and me used to damm up Henson Creek and make wading pools in the summertime.

I only attended part of the 6th grade at Morningside Elementary, that was in 1970. Then went to Benjamin Foulois... then on to Central, I graduated in 1978.

Lots of my friends lived in Morningside.

Humorous Observations
Moved to Maryland in 1970, went to Morningside Elementary, Benjamin Foulois and Central High School.

I did not wear Banlon and Chucks but my sister did.

Love those duckpins.


Central? Cool. You're younger than me, but I loved going there. We always had a good baseball and football team. Basketball was coming around when I graduated.

Where did you live in the 60s? I grew up in capitol Heights. Went to Central High School. Lived in Suitland, District Heights, Forestville. Did you wear Banlon shirts and Chucks?

I grew up in Temple Hills. Graduated from Crossland in 1978. Bowled duckpins at Marlow Fair Lanes.

When you were kids, did your parents cook fresh turkeys? Were frozen turkeys even available in the 50s and early 60s?

Soft ice cream??????

how about Hovermales off Rte. 210 right there by that dive bar Mac & Jim's? It used to be called Sunnybrook back in the blood & guts days. That place still serves the best soft ice cream cone, and the banana splits are off the hook.
Sunnybrook? My dad owned that place in late 60's
