Collector and involved.
Ate there the last week they were open. Sad.
Yep, Peter Pan was a special place to go. Seemed to take forever to get there from Rockville and then you'd have to wait for what seemed like hours for a table. I'd forgotten about the peacocks.

Gotta say I think it looks better than it did with all the extensions on it. Regardless of the history, I always thought it looked like the sort of place that would be featured in an episode of Hoarders.

The Peter Pan was an institution when I was growing up outside Frederick in the '60s. It was a big deal to go there. My high school girlfriend was a waitress there around '75 and if she'd had a good night, I'd get a memorable goodnight, too. I was living elsewhere when it closed down as Peter Pan and became something else, but it's sad to see it go.

My nephew worked there for a couple of years and we used to eat there with his mom now and then. That was during the OTB days.

Big deal for us too especially driving from Howard county. I remember them putting out like an appetizer tray on the tables with cottage cheese and apple butter and some other stuff. I was a little kid and have no idea what my meal was but I remember that. I don't think I ever knew of such a thing as an appetizer before going there. Life seemed simple back then.

Chipotle, hands down. A Chipotle gift card is one of my kids' favorite gifts.
Yes, I remember the Peter Pan Inn as a kid. Peacocks, hush puppies and all. Man does that bring back memories!

Kinda sad to see the changes in the community. It's lost a lot of it's character, IMO. Just becoming another suburban development.
Older brother worked in the kitchen at Peter Pan around 78. I was younger and remember thinking "Why would you name a restaurant THAT?!"
We never ate there - too expensive for tenant farmers. Eating out for us was the dinner at the VFD hall up the street.
I also remember when the GMC farm truck wore Knott & Geisbert dealers labels as well as one or two of the tractors......

The only good thing I got there was food poisoning. Like the Cider Barrel in Germantown, they should have moved to classify it a landmark rather than razing it.
The idea of a historic Hooters gives me some unpleasant visual images...

I agree, the area has definitely changed. I can still remember hearing those peacocks. My grandfather bought all of his tractors and GMC trucks from Knott & Geisbert's. He still has two Minneapolis Moline's he purchased from there, and One is still his most used tractor. I remember right before they went out of business I believe my father-in-law, purchased last pick up truck they ever sold, and it's still on the road.

Do these guys look familiar? I went to the auction when they sold and bought some stuff. I really wanted some of the wrought iron railings, but they said they were structural, and couldn't sell them. Went by a couple weeks ago and saw a bunch twisted up in a pile, oh well, Joe.

Forgot this little pink marble fountain from out in the yard. Got a few other cast plant stands and stuff but didn't take pics. A friend bought a gazebo and a bunch of tables and chairs. We took a couple truck loads of stuff to her farm. She raises peacocks, so she bought all of the brass peacock display stuff from inside, Joe.
