Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in Westminster

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

4th of July, fireworks, Carroll County, Maryland, Agriculture Center,

http://www.thetentacle.com/ Wednesday, June 29, 2011 Against overwhelming odds Kevin E. Dayhoff Next Monday is Independence Day. For someone like me, who grew up in a small agriculture-based country town in the heartland of the birth of our great nation, the holiday has always had a special meaning. I have often wondered why.  http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4485
