RE :”In 73 or 74 my college friends and I were escorted from the county by their finest for ahem falling into the lake and fountain one night. Took us all the way to the Patapsco bridge on 40 :)”

I wasn't here then but I recall in the early 90s an editorial in Howard county times complaining how this county was unappealing towards more diversity because of lack of free clinics for stuff like drug abuse.,

And the NAACP complaining that the Howard county police pulled over blacks.

Crime was low here in those days and gas pumps were ‘pump first’

Lots of undeveloped land it was real pretty here then.

The eastern county was still mostly rural then. They had nothing bigger going on so they could send a bunch of manpower to remove some onery college kids.
