Hey @forty_three I think I remember you may have spent some time around Edgewood Md. If not, never mind. :) If so there is a novel out now set there that is pretty interesting. Its called Chasing The Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar.
Its kind of a coming of age book that the author inserted a serial killer into. So a lot of it is true, a lot of it is not. Im about a 3rd of the way in and its very enjoyable. The first chapter was kind of a history of the area.

My parents moved there in 74 and I lived there or Joppatowne until I headed to California in 89.

I will check out the book, thanks! The history of the place is much nicer than the present of it.

Cool, the book is set in 88.

Not sure if this is true but it made me laugh - he said the very blue collar* Edgewood high school lacrosse team was playing the very fancy and uppity* Fallston team. After it was clear Edgewood was going to win the Fallston crowd started chanting "It's alright, its OKay, you'll all work for us someday!". lol


*I did not know either of these things

Once upon a time, Edgewood was the blue collar suburb of the Proving Grounds and some of the overflow from Bethlehem Steel. And yes, we did think Fallston was the "Rich kids". That is all very plausible.

By the way if he gets to any stories of a group of kids on BMX bikes causing havoc and terror up and down route 40, it's lies. IT'S ALL LIES

I just read the summary on Amazon. There was a mutilated body of a girl found there in 1988. I went to the same school as her, she was a year behind me. But it wasn't a serial killer. Just a spurned dickhead.

I went to school with him too, had 3 classes with him the year before.

I did not know that. He said he based it on the "phantom fondler" imagining that his crimes escalated...

There was a series of home invasions where an unknown male assailant illegally entered dozens of Edgewood homes – mainly at night through unlocked doors and windows – and caressed the hair, legs, and arms of sleeping women. Once the woman awoke, the man took off and disappeared into the night.

Lol

You guys know me, I dont complain about anything.......but I do ask the universe one small thing. The house next to me was just put up for sale (moving, not murdered) and all I ask is for the new owners to have college aged girls that will use the pool or patio the house has. Thats all. The owners who are moving moved in with a boy and a girl in their teens so I had daydreams of drunken college parties. Alas as they got older they stopped using the pool. The girl is pretty enough but in college she turned into kind of a hippie goth and all she did was walk around the pool over and over in a dress down to her ankles. Usually with a book in front of her face, I watched always waiting for her to round the corner too sharply and go into the pool.

I remember that as well. Very careful Google search terms indicate they caught the guy.

Well, when I say caught, I mean someone who was in jail for something else confessed and they matched his prints.

I loves me some scrapple. Pennsylvania Dutch food is some of the best food out there.

And I thought Rocky Mountain Oysters were cow patties.

And whatever you do don't google search Hot Beef Sundae. You might get the Urban Dictionary variety.

Well it is Nebraska.......

Cat can't come quick enough.

But it's Smart. I was standing where the Rat was seen with a baseball bat calling it out. Didn't come though

Meat Loaf has gone. Can't say I really liked his music, but he had one hell of a run.

RIP, Stinks about Meatloaf but the reports he died from COVID and recently rallied against mandates.
