- 20:50, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs created page File:Garland Grams and Jean.JPG (Garland Grams is shown posing with his daughter Jean in front of a beautiful 1954 Buick Roadmaster. We assume that Mr. Grams got a good deal on the car since he sold Buicks at his service station located on Petersville Road. The photo was taken when the Grams family lived near the Farmers Picnic Woods between the Lutmans and the Mains. (Photo courtesy of John Brubaker) Category: Smoketown People)

- 20:47, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs created page File:Mary Lou Walker.JPG (Mary Lou Walker delivers a duckpin ball at the old Brunswick Bowling Center on 620 Souder Road in the 1960s. From all reports, Mary Lou was an excellent Tuesday Night league bowler. Janet Roudabousch Biser I would say that Mary Lou was probably the best lady bowler at the Brunswick alley. She was a great bowler. Judy Ware She was one of Brunswick's great bowlers. Anna Rentzel Wow, that brings back a lot of memories, we had a lot of fun in those days. She was hard to beat!!!!

- 18:17, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs created page File:Potomac River Bridge in Snow.JPG (We've seen several photos of the old 1893 bridge looking towards Brunswick, but this snowy view seems rare. No current member of the Brunswick History Commission had seen it before. With the houses on N. Dayton Avenue in view above the old West End Elementary School that were built in 1920, this photo likely dates to the decade of the Roaring '20s.

- 18:13, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs created page File:1924 Flood Tollhouse on Virginia Side.jpeg (This photo shows the toll gates on the Virginia side of the old Brunswick bridge. The tollgate was in use until October 15th, 1934, when the road became part of the Maryland State Road System and became toll free. This image was taken when the May 14th, 1924 floodwaters came right up to the toll gate. The toll house was torn down when the new bridge was completed in 1955.

- 18:01, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs created page File:West End Receiving Yard Demolition 1989.jpg (Despite the sad circumstances, this is a nice perspective looking toward Weverton Cliffs as the west end of the receiving yard at Knoxville was being dismantled in 1989. The piles of rails were almost surreal. The small pile in the front are angle bars used to connect sections of rail together. (From the Lee B.

The blue building next to the track is the lumber shed. To the extreme left, you can see the remains of the hump and piles of rails. Beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains toward the gap.

Hemp Jr. Meat & Grocery Store and MacKenzie's Ice Cream Parlor in the early 20th Century. The folks posing in front of Hemp's are from left, Charles Bowers, Abe Hemp, unknown. Outside MacKenzie's were Paul MacKenzie, future confectionary owner Betz Mills and his brother Howard. Note the dirt street. We believe that the photo dates to the early 1900s since the Mills brothers were born in the 1890s. The building...)
