Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in Westminster
July 4th, 2018.
Just to shake things up a bit, Caroline, Grammy, and I had
Popeyes carry-out for dinner on the 4th of July. The place was very
busy. Staff was very nice. We enjoyed our dinner. We will go back. There are
several things I want to try on the menu. Caroline and I enjoy southern cooking
– especially Louisiana – Cajun cooking.
I cannot remember the last time I went to Popeyes. Years
ago, when I was in office, then-Hampstead Mayor Haven Shoemaker used to have
our executive strategy sessions at Popeyes 3694 in Westminster at the
intersection of Rte 140 and Rte 97 – 624 Baltimore Blvd. 410-857-7550.
Although Popeyes has occupied the building for a long time,
many years ago, it was the location of a savings and loan called Vermont
Federal. Before then it was a service and gas station. I do not recall the name
of the gas station.
The other night, Caroline and I were visiting with friends Charles L Dorm Jr and
Emily
Willis-Dorm and he was reminiscing that there was a fire there a number of
years ago that has to be one of the coldest fires the Westminster Fire Company
ever fought. Along with the fire at the Shipley House at the corner of Main and
Center Street. Caroline’s Dad always told stories about the fire at Hahn’s
Grocery Store at the corner of Bishop Street and East Main Street. Apparently
that was a cold fire also. I also think that former Westminster Police Chief
Dean Brewer also recalls the fire at the location of Vermont Federal.
Happy 4th
