Debbie,
Great post. I knew about Goldie Hawn being from Maryland and going to American University because I went to AU in the 70's. I heard Cass Elliott also from Maryland (Mama's and Pappa's) was Goldie's roomate at American.
I've just been reading some of your local blogs they are terrific. I have such fond memories of Hofbergs deli in Silver Spring. The best matza ball soup. We always would go there late at night after the discos and always had so much fun.
Thank You Mitchell,
I think Cass Elliot might have been from Baltimore, Maryland. I loved Hofbergs too! I have fond memories of my Dad taking me there for lunch when I went to his office in Silver Spring. But, Unfortunately, it bit the dust here about 15 years ago.
Hi Ann,
Did you mean Ledo's on University? It is still there (since early 1950's) and has the best ever pizza. There was also another Italian Restaurant that was very popular and competed with Ledo's called Leonie's (also on University Blvd). Sadly that one went out of business in the mid 80's. It had a really unique front doorway that had round windows and this facade that looked like an art deco type wave?? The Kona Kai sounds familiar but it's not around anymore.
I loved Leonie's! I used to go there over 30 years ago.
I also remember the original Jerry's Sub shop in Wheaton (now a Ledos Pizza restaurant) before it was sold and franchised. Now, they had incredible subs! I remember eating in the back of the "dive" that it was - uneven tables that rocked, bikers with scary tattoos and not so wholesome news clippings featuring photos of obese biker chicks on the walls!
Do you remember when Wheaton Plaza was considered one of the nation's most revolutionary and largest shopping malls in the country when it was built? It didn't have a roof, was only one floor and had a Woodward and Lothrops and Montgomery Ward anchoring the plaza. That was pretty much it!
Wow, what great memories. My dad took me to Hofbergs every Sunday for bagels. Mr. Hofberg stood by the door wearing a white apron full of lolly pops for the kids.
One year I sat next to Goldie Hawn on a blanket watching fireworks in Silver Spring.
Max Levin lived above me in Langley Park before he bought the original Jerry's in Wheaton from Jerry.
Outdoor malls are the latest thing .... they should take the roof off of Wheaton Plaza now.
Anyone remember Christmas shopping downtown Silver Spring in the 1950's?
MY DAD, ARTHUR BROWN, USED TO BE THE BARTENDER AT LEONIE'S RESTAURANT IN LANGLEY PARK. I WAS LITTLE THEN, BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE FRONT DOORWAY AND THE AMBIENT LIGHTING OF THE BAR AREA. WE USED TO EAT SPAGHETTI THERE THEN GO SHOPPING AT LANDSBURG'S DEPT. STORE. THERE WERE NO MALLS THEN. SHOPPING IN LANGLEY PARK AT CHRISTMASTIME WAS AWESOME, BECAUSE IT WAS DECORATED TO THE HILT. PEOPLE BUSTLING EVERYWHERE. HOT SHOPS WAS ALWAYS BUSY. DOWNTOWN SILVER SPRING WAS EQUALLY FANTASTIC, BECAUSE HECHTS WAS CONNECTED TO THE MCCRORYS. THIS IS WHERE WE USED TO GO SEE SANTA. MY BOSS USED TO GO THE BLAIR HIGH SCHOOL WITH GOLDIE HAWN. SHE LOOKS THE SAME IN HIS BLACK AND WHITE YEARBOOK PICTURE THAT SHE DOES TODAY. WHEATON PLAZA CAME LATER-REMEMBER FARRELL'S ICE CREAM PARLOR, HOW ABOUT GINO' S PIZZA IN FOUR CORNERS=AWESOME!!!
