Use to go to Oakland Inn
Miss all those nice restaurants we use to frequent. There was a restaurant off Silver Hill Road...can't remember the name where we use to go after leaving the bowling alley on branch avenue.
Remember the 51 club, would go there for dinner sometimes with the parents.

I think so. Did one of them go to McNamara?

I and my sister use to live in the Marlow Heights apartments on 28th Avenue, next to the Rec Center. We also felt safe to walk to the shopping center and the Iverson Mall.

Don't remember any of them...did they go to McNamara?
Yes, but that may have been the younger generation. Sorry.

What was the name of the bowling alley at the end of branch avenue (on the left) before you get to DC? My friend and his family use to bowl there every Friday night.
Remember the carnivals in the Marlow Heights Shopping Center?
Rector's Restaurant, where Millie was our waitress? Use to have nice New Year's Eve parties.
Anyone go to the Village Barn in Morningside? Smokey Mac?

I grew up in the Oxon Hill/Fort Washington area and graduated from Oxon Hill in 69. Oh how nice it was to lay on the grass at the Fort, listen to the 23 minute version of Get Ready by Rare Earth, and get buzzed on 16oz. Budweiser.
Ahhhhhh.. to my youth....
You know a lady by the name of Linda martin?

I'll send my uncle an email...he graduated from Suitland in '68. All my dad's family graduated from there... my aunt in 58, Dad in 59, Uncle Tommy in either 60 or 61... Uncle Richard in 63 I think, Uncle Gary in 66, and then Eddie in 68. I think I have that right anyway...
I wasn't around in the 60's, but spent most of my young years (the 70's and early 80's) visiting my grandparents every weekend. They lived on Shadyside Drive in Suitland. My dad and all his brothers played slow pitch softball up there on Sundays. I remember Red Barn, and China Sea, and Iverson Mall.... there was a 7-11 right across from my gran's house and Pop would give us money to go over across the street and get either bread, or milk for Gran, and an ice cream or slurpee for ourselves.
I miss them.

My sister and I used to walk to the mall also and never worried even walking through the parking garage never bothered us.

Surely the food couldn't have been that bad? :shrug:I do, I do. Family style dining at it's best. I think it's now a funeral home?Don't quote me on that though.

We use to also walk through the parking garage.
Before my sister got her Plymouth Duster (1973), did our grocery shopping at the Giant in the shopping center, by one of those grocery carts that you pull along. Never thought about anyone bothering us.

My oldest brother graduated from Suitland in '58...my sister in '62...my other brother in '66.
Linda Stamp--didn't she live on Marlboro Pike in Forestville by the florist? She had a brother named Buster---they had flaming red hair. Is this the Linda Stamp you are talking about?

That name doesn't sound familiar to me. I remember a few Linda's that graduated from Oxon Hill with me, including my wife... LOL, but the name Linda Martin doesn't ring a bell.
I grew up and lived in PG county (Friendly). Went to Surrattsville High School and graduated in '68. I wore Chucks but not Banlon shirts. Iwas more the jeans and sportshirt kind of guy.
