Probably 80's for me, that's one thing I DO miss here, fried hards. I can get steamed for a price but fried hards???? They look at me like I'm from Mars.

It was Gene Davis who owned the big cats, he had a semi trailer that he hauled them around in that was reminiscent of a circus trailer.
Yep I remember him. Met him first back in the mid late 80's. Nice man, and he liked police. Lost track and don't know what became of him.
Tall Oaks had a great fried hard crab, no midgets that I remember. Maybe they were in the batter???
LOVED the fried hard crab. I think they did a big chicken parm too iirc.
Trying wrapping your brains around the fact the area was named after the “Midget” family.
John & Mary Midget plus their kids and extended family when families stayed and lived close together. Now I made up John & Mary just so you could get an idea.
You former Coasties should know the Midget name well from your puddle pirate and life saving station history.
That’s how Millersville and Linthicum got their names. And Scaggsville in HoCo was named after the Scaggs family and not for a bunch of ugly hookers and drunken derelicts living in the area.

This makes sense.
This area is full of "------villes" and "------towns" named after early landowners.
There are a lot of Folk Etymologies and Urban Legends floating around which get picked up, embellished, and passed on unthinkingly and uncritically. People love a good story and are unwilling to let common sense get in the way.
That is exactly why Senatrix Warren thinks she's a Native American. Her entire source is a Family Legend based on someone's high cheekbones.
A secret community, "hidden away where no outsider can find it" and composed of miniature houses just makes no sense. It sounds like medieval stories of elves and leprechauns. Everyone knows someone who has seen it, but no one took a picture. Sure. Everyone knows elves don't show up in photographs.

Nice... tigers raising their own food...
I think of it as a semi-biblical discipline method. Not quite throwing her in the lion pit, but close enough.

LOL. I used to work at Oak Harbor Marina in the early 90s and would hear the loud roars through the trees on a regular basis. Always wondered what was going on...

Two Pasadena kitty memories.....
Severna Park 4th of July parade......Mr. Davis in his trailer with a "cub" the size of a large Lab. Asks us FFs standing around if we wanted to pet him. Cubbie gets to purring, to which a movement starts in the front hay loft. That when we noticed momma......like her shoulders were against the driver's side of the trailer and her hips were against the passenger side. Yes, she was a good 3-4 foot longer than the trailer was wide (this is a full size tractor-trailer).
She gets up and stretches, jumps down and stretches out along the side of the trailer. We pull back, and he starts laughing, "she's less likely to hurt you than the cub, he hasn't learned to play yet". Anyhow she must have had ten people scrathing her back.........talk about purring!!!!
I was operating a Jeep CJ-5 brush unit off Fort Smallwood Road. My FF was a young black dude, big guy, high school football lineman. We're cruising through the woods knocking down the fire, when I stand the Jeep on it's front bumper, " what the h3!! is that out there about 75-100 yards?" My FF comes back with "that's the biggest lab I've ever seen" Lab **** that's a CAT".... that was when we saw the high fence and realized we had come up on the back side of Trio-D farms........oh yeah, it wasn't the kind of black panther my partner was familiar with.....

Now this has been an interesting thread!
I remember hearing about Midgetville and ranked it in with the Creature on Gold Mine Rd, the Blair Witch and the Witch in St Mary's or Charles. Fun to believe and search for when we were teenagers, but common sense tells us it's like the ghost girl hitchhiker and all those others. Some truth in there back in history to build the story on, but it got embellished. There's 3 or 4 in every state.

Midgetville
I remember Midgetville of Pasadena. It was just as others have stated; down past where Tall Oaks restaurant used to be off of Colony Rd. I recall the hype too. And when friends wanted to take me there, It was indeed a cluster of old shore homes or summer cottages that people had worked on and lived year round. And the people did indeed seem angry. They were tired of being ogled by a bunch of youngsters looking for freak show.

So it's like Scotland, MD. Relatively inexpensive (for their day) summer cottages turned into year 'rounds. Just the basics, low roof lines, small windows and doors....
It's nice outside and I have a motorcycle in the garage. Later!!!

Never heard of Midgetville, but I have been to the bar down the dirt road just past Tall Oaks, that was built on tree stumps. Family used to rent a summer cottage there, not much, just there for the water.
