I lived in Anne Arundel Co. from 1971 until 1992. Even before then, mom &
dad, my grandmother & aunt and my sister and I would go to Blob's Park for
good German food, fun music, dancing and just the camaraderie. My mom's
line has no German ancestry, but my dad's has much (from Germanna Colonies
of VA). Yet, she appreciated good German food & fun. When my twin
daughters were young, we made sure they went several times to continue the
tradition - on Sunday afternoons after church..
So thought some on the list may find this of interest~

Sometime soon, the last schnitzel will be fried, the last malty marzen will
be poured, and the accordion will grow silent.
