Aspen Hill 1977

[SummitCnty]

you may know summitcnty, he worked there too.



Now I have a craving for Twinbrook deli cold cuts....

Worked at Hard Times from the Summer of 87 on and off until 90-91.

Exciting news for Aspen Hill....Roy Rogers is opening back up there.

Likin that they're on the comeback! Still have to hit the new one there on the Pike where Century Ford used to be...

I remember a Mark Kiriaco. Won't claim I knew him, just the name.

Yep, that's one of them, and his elder brother was Joe. They used to ride mini bikes n such up and down Arctic and up in those woods in the late 70's - 80's. Now Mark teaches all things Crotch Rocket Racing up at Summit Raceway in West by God... Lucky to have loosey goosey gun laws up that way too.

I used to live on Grenoble Dr. back in the 1976-1978 time frame between the time I retired from motorcycle racing and when I met my future wife. Shared a house with an old car racing buddy of mine, Jack O'Dea (his house). He and I and Norm Beaver used to autocross against each other from the 1972 to about 1975 time frame thru the entire Baltimore-Washington DC area. Only times I have been by there since it looked kind of dumpy.

Then you know my brother Toes (Rob)

There has been one of us at HD since the 80's. My younger Brother Chris- Fizz who passed away this past Feb worked in the RV store and then at the Bethesda place until he died. Now my youngest daughter works at the RV location.

You had to have known the Fapels(s/p). I lived right next door to them.

Wow, I lived on Grenoble Dr. from 1965 to '72. small world.

Both my parents grew up in Aspen Hill and graduated from Peary in the 60's. Mom lived on Tallahassee ave and Dad lived on Aspen hill rd. Still go by Grandparents house on Aspen Hill every now and then, hav'nt been by Mom's house in years. I still remember a lot from around the area when I was a kid going to visit Grandparents and Godparents. Anyone else use Dr Shienman (spelling?) for a dentist?

Nice. Moved to Twinbrook in 1979 on Ardennes. Parents still live there. Went to St. Jude for 8th, Good Counsel for 9th, then Rockville the rest and graduated in 1984, along with wifey. She lived in Manor and could have gone to Peary, Magruder or RHS. She worked at the Roy Rogers in Aspen Hill. LOL, I flipped dog food at the Rustler's Steak House in HS.. I still remember that movie theater there in Aspen Hill, and the Dairy Queen on Georgia. When I was a frosh at GC, I played football and went with seniors to Trolley Car and ate pizza and drank beer. Sigh......... Oh, like in another thread, went to Marchone's in Wheaton Triangle for awesome subs and Barbarian Books.

Marchone's and Barbarian are still here, but the old GM bought out the place and Marchone's is now Flippo's

Aspen Hill is rapidly becoming much more Jewish, with the community centered around Peary. We've had like a dozen observant families move in over the past couple years, and I think a lot more are coming.

A decade from now, it might be more like Kemp Mill than Wheaton, thanks to the synagogue/school at the old Peary high school.

Is the anchor still at the school?

 

[erwos]

Is the anchor still at the school?

No. It was moved to a nearby high school, I forget which one. The war memorial is still there. The gym still has the old banners and the mascot on the wall, IIRC.

It is at Kennedy High School. Approach condition one..

Probably, I talked to a few neighbors on occasion, while Jack was some what of a recluse. Don't remember any names.

Anybody go(or going) to the reunion? I'm not. Just curious as to weather there's anything else planned like a bar night or something.

Been to a few. No offence but, not worth $80 to not see anyone I didn't hang with. Oh well...
