A favorite cruise spot where I grew up was Rt2/Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie, Maryland. This stretch of straight road with businesses and stoplights about every 1/4 to 1/2 mile was just too tempting. Everyone would hang out at the local Burger King and congregate at a large parking lot across the street. There was another road about two miles from there that was called "dump road" and that is where the street races were held. It was a long flat road leading to the land fill. By the early eighties the cops were patrolling regularly and eventually broke up the Burger King hang out. I understand that there are now big cruise-ins in the big parking lot across the street from Burger King now. Its a Pep Boys super store now and some other strip mall stores.

Don,This is cool, this is the same place I cruised..I lived in the Glen Burnie area from 1969-1977,and use to hang at the same Burger King that you did..I use to work at "Wolfe's body shop" on the corner in Ferndale and my parents owned the "Linthicum Seafood House" on Hammonds Ferry rd a few miles away..We use to race right in front of the Burger King until the cops started messing with us. I probably saw you there a few times. I had a "Gold 67 396 Chevelle" I use to race...Small world...Wayne
