Remember the "Hi-Boy" restaurant/carry-out there on Marlboro Pike just up the road from Sam's car wash? I think they had one on Branch Avenue too.
I remember the Hi-Boy. I used to go to the Day Care behind Sam's. Got caught throwing rocks at the cars from the yard.

My dad owned the Sunoco on Suitland Rd. That's the road right accross from the main gate right?

My Grandfather owned the Texaco on Silver Hill Road right across from the Red Barn!

My dad is laughing at me, I just called him and said "I need to call your brothers and run some names by them!" This thread is so much fun :).

Everyone is talking about Allentown Mall, Iverson Mall, or the places in District Heights. Nobody has said a word about the Eastover Shopping Center there at Rte. 210 by Southern Ave.

I worked at JC Penney's after graduating and then worked at the Schiff Shoe store next to it. They changed the name to Gallencamp Shoes. It wasn't bad there back then, but I wouldn't go near that place now. Oh the fun I had working at that shoe store back then when the women wore miniskirts.

Just call me the original Al Bundy :lmao: :roflmao:

I remember going there to shop when I was little (around 1st grade). Maybe Marlow Heights was being built at the time, but it wasn't there yet. I remember going to a store names Kopy Kat to get my school clothes and "Keds".
