Re: Remember When?

New postby My2Cents » Wed Jul 29, 2009 11:03 am OMG.... I remember the dairy before it was Longs Dairy. Whew, I must be ancient. :roll: It was originally called Waples Dairy. I think Bus Waple, who lived up in Hillcrest, owned it. I went to school with both Joanne Waple and the Haag girl, for some ...

Re: Remember When?

Hello Rob!!! Dang, my brother sure is a font of info, but I guess that's what happens if you never leave town or the area. Since I've been gone for so long it all kind of gets written over by other things, or maybe it just gets pushed out... :fogey: Here are a couple things for the older folks. How ...

Re: YOUR Username?

I acquired my user name by way of the US air Force and the Vietnam conflict. I was an on-the-ground Forward Air Controller in Vietnam in 1966 and 1967 and I was attached to the 101st Airborne. We went out into the field (jungle) with the Army artillery and when necessary called in air strikes on tar...

Re: WOW - WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED TO OUR BOARD???

Rick,

I saw this last week and since it has happened to me on one of my other forums, was not so surprised. However, I do not like the login on the bottom. Any way to put it back on top?

Thanks,
Ron

This seems to be making the rounds. It's been going through my work here in MD over the last couple of months.

Rob, I'm actually going to bring up some for Mom when I come up, but don't tell her. Regular and choc/choc chip. They really ARE good. I'm sure she'll let you guys have some. Yummy...

This is something that I remember doing when I was around 11. It's probably my first job in Tyrone, I was a pinboy at the local bowling alley across the street from the VFW. As I remember they had 8 lanes and there were enough pinboys that we each had two lanes to cover. Anyone remember the name of ...

Back to the ice cream place that was down by the river and the pedestrian bridge that went over it to the train station... For a while that was Long's Dairy Store before they moved up by the radio station. I and a friend, don't remember which one (Scordo?), used to go down there and get a pint of ic...

I think I was only ever in the Villa once or twice in my life. It was considered to be too expensive and too "High Society" for my family when I was growing up. However, I must say that I had Paul Matusky for History or POD or Civics when I was in school, maybe all 3. Hated him... I rememb...

Thanks, just wondering. That would be Park Ave. and 8th St. Since I went there for K-6 in the 50's and it was already a very old building, I was even surprised that they bothered to convert it to apartments for folks to live in. So many things have changed in town since I was a kid, maybe it's time ...

I seem to remember a fairly tale or a story of some type where the guy was typically told that he had 3 wishes, blah, blah, blah... The one wish that intrigued me the most was the one where he said he wanted a purse, like a coin purse at the time, that as it got empty it would magically refill itsel...

Ok, the I understand about the pruning, but for those of us who live out of town and don't have a lot to say, well, it can be a problem. Most of what you all talk about is local to you and not me. But I understand... And this forum is not one of the busier ones that I'm on, anyhow. Well, at least th...

Just reading this thread and thought I would shed some light on it from my area: Annapolis and vicinity. I live in a beach community along the South River, just south of Annapoils and about a mile from the Chesapeake Bay. I bought my small house, less than 1,000 sq.ft., in 1977 for $41K because that...
