“Senior Skip Day” in PiG County? It’s not just for Seniors and every day is skip day for PiG County “students”. If you’re in the Monkey County system, enjoy the manifest-writing, mass-killing freaks. Maryland’s such a great place, the three western-most counties want out and join WV.

I suspect that for those involved most everyday is a ditch day.

A call to get guns off the streets after 5 teens were shot and wounded in Prince George’s Co.

Not the people who fired them.

I grew up in Greenbelt in the 70s and 80s. Greenbelt was great then. Now I wouldn’t step foot in Greenbelt or MD for that matter. Ever.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Likewise. In the 50s I used to swim at the Greenbelt pool, and later had friends who lived in the Greenbrier area off Hanover Pkwy. I lived in Berwyn Heights for years. Used to run at the Roosevelt HS track and at the state Park across from Capital Cadillac. Soon as I retired I immediately left PG County and never set foot there again.

That is almost certainly Hanover Parkway, between Good Luck Road and MD 193 Greenbelt Road. I drove it every day and used to walk the trail in that park before it got too scary.

Roosevelt HS. Thirty-five years ago I knew kids who went there and then to universities like Harvard. Now? Well, no need to explain the transformation.

I grew up in Mt. Rainier and went to Northwestern.

I too grew up in Mt. Rainier and lived there from 1941 until around 1975. Had many friends and cousins there who went to Northwestern. I went to Catholic HS.

Why include the state of Maine to your list of cities. Makes no sense .

Maybe it does. My son lives near Augusta on the Belgrade Lakes and he tells me Maine is becoming overrun with illegal aliens.

Folks here wanna trash MD and I understand that . . . etc.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
You’re right about that. I’ve lived in MD for over 80 years. Most people even in MD are unaware that most of the counties in the State vote Republican (Eastern Shore, western Counties, still a couple in southern MD). I live in a County that has never voted for a Democrat Governor. Problem, as you’ve noted, are Baltimore City and the Counties around that city and around D.C. And the same fate has now afflicted Virginia. I was in Fairfax County a month ago and it was life being in a foreign country. Aliens (legal and illegal) EVERYWHERE! Many wealthy white (and Black) Liberals are their own worst enemies, AND OURS!

As if the guns sprouted legs and walked around shooting people unaided by human hands.

Come on, didn't you shoot others during Senior Skip Days? I did....

The others were deer 🤓, not humans.

My senior skip day consisted of hanging out at Crystal eating fries, flirting with boys and talking about what we were going to do over summer vacay.

All the guns were hanging on racks in the backs of guys pickup trucks. Nobody even thought about shooting each other.

The TV news mentioned Roosevelt, and Bowie. The gathering was apparently organized by social media.

I don’t know if we ever had a day like this when I was a senior. There was no shooting; I know that much. I think some of the kids may have taken off on a whim & used the “skip day” as an excuse if they were called on it. Why doesn’t someone figure out what was different back in those days(in this case the 50’s) & see how things were done differently?

I went to Northwestern. The most rebellious thing I recall is everyone leaving class for a half day to protest the Viet Nam war...

They are part of the Appalachian Regional Commission and are much closer to being WV than Baltimore, the Eastern Shore or the DC area. The narrowest part of the panhandle at Hancock, MD is just under 2 miles wide.

I remember the days when shooting a spitwad in school was practically a capital offense...
