My dad owned a service station on Suitland Rd. for years. Did I ever tell you that before?

No you did not... Where at?

 

[camily]

No you did not... Where at?

Suitland Rd. (that's the one across from the main gate right?) Not too far up past the neighborhoods. There is, or was at least, a 7-11 across the street sitting caddy (sp?) corner. The was a little strip mall thing right next to it and apartment buildings diagonal from it. Ring a bell? It was called "Allen's Sunoco".

I don't know. All I know is it was on the left and 7-11 was on the right. He sold it in the mid 80's I believe. Then they had a car and truck rental business in the Holiday Inn across from base then moved it to the Days Inn on maybe Auth Rd.?

Lucky you! Can you verify whether or not my dads old station is still standing?

 

[MJ]

K_Jo and I will have to make a road trip one day. I've been taking 4 all the way to Silver Hill because Suitland Road is full of pot holes.
