The Harley Bus? I have a pic of that somewhere. I'd post it if I knew how to do so.

I remember Mary Helen Pilkertons Harbor View in Compton. Down there near Fitzies. Her old building has been knocked down and big houses put there. Kind of sad.

Mary Helen and her son Bobby AKA Knobby
Oh and don't forget Diddy...Mary Helens husband

anybody remember Mary Helen and Harborview Inn, the old Dock of the Bay, The Backroad Inn before Jim remodeled it. The Leonardtown Wharf, The Country Store. Betty Russells is still opened and hasnt changed a bit, much like the Hole in the Wall. Dukes Bar, Town Inn, Bennetts, before it became Rendevouz. Had good times in all of them and met some damn nice people. Sure do miss the old places and the people who used to frequent them.

Yes to every one of the above. I actually toyed with the idea of making Helen an offer for her place. The price she was asking at the time seemed a bit steep though: 175K for the whole mess. :kickingselfvigorously:

I was a 'regular' for a while when Jim was doing the 8 buck all you could eat oyster days on certain weekends. Have not been there for a few years, though..he still doing that?

Don't know. I'm not what you would call a regular. I go down sometimes when hubby is playing horseshoes or maybe to watch his old dart team play (they play out of BRI now)

Speaking of that corner in L'town... I ended up buying the massive/gorgeous mahogany "J" shaped bar that resided in the hotel. Had great plans for that behemoth to be installed in my place...and then it went up in a fire along with most of the brass I had bought from Nockleby after she closed. Those that remember..remember that Nockleby's had a LOT of brass everywhere..LOL.

*sniff* I don't know how old that beautiful piece of mahogany work was...but you don't often see bars made like that any more.

You mean the old Leonardtown hotel? You're starting to tell your age if you remember that....I have VERY faint memories of the old hotel...It was right where Corner Critters and Reynolds Pharmacy is now...Remember Friendly Bar and Town Inn right there too? G&H Jewelers was in that little strip there too...Dickie Gatton & Frankie Harris

No, I don't remember ever going there when it was an operating concern. I just bought the old bar from when they gutted it. Interestingly, Dickie and Frankie had something to do with that evolution, too..;-)

As a old timer stationed at Pax in the Early 80's ..I can remember most of these places...I haven't seen the Cedar Point Tavern mentioned right out side the old Main Gate, or the bar 'name fails me' that was in the Lord Calvert Motel on 235 ?:buddies:
