A couple doors down from where the Blockbuster used to be.
In between Tick Neck Road and Edwin Raynor Blvd across from funeral home .
That DQ was our Friday night stop in the early 70s, and that section of 170 our drag strip in our muscle cars. Then a trip up to Super 170 for the drive in, then ponds on Patuxent road for partying. Dazed and Confused, Odenton style...

You might be thinking of McD's. There was one just west of Rt. 32 around where the Great American Steak is.Wasn't "That DQ" farther in toward base in the 70s? Maybe around where the Highs is now??
Been a long time, but I thought that was the case.

After we'd hit that all night truck stop near Crofton on route 3 for pancakes and tons of coffee to sober up.I spent more than a few hot summer nights there dazed and confused style and wearing nothing but a smile.
Good times...
