Hawkins Motor Court
Pulaski Highway ( U.S. 40 ) at Middle River Rd.

      " Clean - Comfortable - Up-to-date Cottages
        Beauty Rest Mattress, Title Bath and Hot Water Heat
        HAWKINS SERVICE STATION
         7 mi. East of Baltimore, on U.S. 40 at Middle River Road"

    The first motel you come across when traveling out of Baltimore City, after passing over Rossville Blvd is the Hawkins Motor Court, which also housed a Amoco Gas Station. I believe the gas station and motel were on the southwest corner of the intersection of Pulaski Highway at Middle River Road. There is currently a modern gas station on that corner and nothing appears to have survived of the old motel / motor court.

The Curb Carry Out

    I recently added this postcard of the Curb Carry Out , located on Rt 40. It was located around the Middle River Road intersection, but more research is needed. I have also found ads that list it at Rt 40 and Rt 7, which would much closer to the City .

       U..S. 40 Pulaski Highway, northeast of Middle River Road. I'm not too sure on the history of this place,but it still appears to be open and operating.  Used to go by the name of the Colonial Motor Court and Colonial Court Cabins.

     Well, I've gotten several emails on this place,and it appears it was never quite a diner. Seems it was a strip club ( "Topless bar" )  called Charlotte's in the 1970's and 1980's. Apparently, there were trailers in the back of this place, back in the day, for those " activities " that continued on from inside the club. I still don't know if they served food or not .........



Thanks to Brian, Lisa, and everyone else for the help on this one !

Blue Star Motel
White Marsh , Maryland
12 Miles North of Baltimore

In June 0f 2008 , the Blue Star Motel was torn down to make way for some type of new building. It only took two days to knock down the old Motel, which stood since the 1950's. In the early 1960's, it went by the name of the Burgundy Motel, as seen, in the last postcard.

Pulaski Drive In

    The sign you see here was torn down in the 1990's. All that remained was the poles that once held the sign up. The screens were still up, but covered by trees, as the entire area was overgrown. Fast forward to 2008 and the entire site has been graded and undergoing construction work. No trace of the Drive In exists today !

      It seems that this restaurant might have been on the hill at Allender Road, but that is just a guess.  I have gotten a few good leads on this one, and it might still be standing, although used for other purposes today .  ( Investigation is active - Thanks Albert ! )

Belgian Village
  "11 Miles North of Baltimore - U.S. Route 40 "
    "No longer need one cross the Atlantic to visit a Flemish village and enjoy its quaintness and charm. The Belgian Village is a replica of a little Belgian town. Each little house contains one or more rooms with a private bath. Meals are served in the Town Hall. Open all year. Steam heated. Belgian Village, Bradshaw Md. "

..........................................................................Belgian Village Bradshaw Maryland
 From what I can gather, the Belgian Village was later converted into a 76 Truck Stop gas , which was later torn down in the mid 1980's, if you look carefully at the postcard , lower right, you can see part of the old Belgian Village still standing behind the gas pumps. . This would have been right across from the Midway Liquor Store, which is still standing. There is absolutely no trace of the complex today, which is currently a field. 
Thanks again Albert !

T.V. Motel
U.S. Rt 40   
     This motel complex is no longer standing. They are now large piles of dirt around the complex, and the buildings survived up until 2009 , before being torn down . Back in 2007 , I came across the vacant complex, seen in the photos below. At first I thought it was Belgian Village, but I've been told that Belgian Village was off of the northbound lanes of Pulaski Highway, and a little further up, towards Joppatowne.
