I'll never forget those Roast Beef sandwiches. I've never had one like it since.
The 602 was very near the rear entrance of Ft. Meade. Starting Gate, which is still there, is a mile west of the Deuce. Both are on Rt.198. You might be thinking of Remington's, a bar and grill type of place. It's only a block away from the 602 on the other side of the road. It's called something else now.
Yeah, remember the Big Daddy lobster at Bay 'N Surf? Another couple of Laurel faves that are gone now are Tippy's Taco and Pasta Plus on Rt. 1.
Henkel's was just off Rt. 32 about a mile east of Rt. 1. But Rt. 32 was only built in 1985. I think you used to have to take Guilford Road from the Howard County side to Brock Bridge Road before 32 was open.
We used to hit the Tippys on route one, at least monthly.
College park. Later became Terrapin taco. I just posted a link from the post
I ate at the one near Greenbelt Rd so many times I can't remember. It was next to the Starlight Inn, a topless strip joint which was a real s***hole. I 'accidently' went into that place a few times - ha ha. Here's an old WaPo article on that place.
Oh yes, Town Hall. Where your feet stick to the floor and they hose it down at the end of the night....and it's still open!

I remember Big T roast beef. It was also the last area Tastee Freeze, which was like a better Dairy Queen. Another place I thought of when you mentioned Contee Rd. was La Gringada Mexican restaurant, a little further south on Rt.1. And near the split on southbound Rt. 1 there was a really good Greek restaurant called Skorpios. All the good stuff's gone. I have no reason ever to go back to Laurel.
Wow! This must be from the '30's or '40's!
Tippy's became Toucan Taco for a while in the eighties and nineties.
Bethesda boy here, I have a Psych Deli tee shirt packed away. All the local bands that played there.And then there was the Rendevous and Varsity Grill with it's Back Room where we used to watch Root Boy Slim And Sex Change Band....Boogie Til You Puke!

Saw some hard rock at the Psych Deli and saw some movies at the old grungy Bethesda Theater where you could eat pizza and drink pitchers of draft beer at a table while watching a movie. Those were the days.
That was the Bethesda Theater, the draft house opened in 83-84. The metro area just had/has so many great music venues to go to.
Yeah, I probably got the name mixed up. All good memories though.
I remember the ham through the garden sandwiches. They were great! Anyone recall the Parkway?
