harteehar Says: The Radio and Television Museum preserves the history of radio and television from the origins of the equipment.The museum has working wireless telegraph equipment on display, early crystal radios from the 1920s era, to the first home radio equipment that was multi battery...
Tom_Fields Says: If anyone remembers the "Golden Age" of radio or tv, and feels nostalgic about it, then this is the place for you. It's full of oddball electronic gadgets, including many rareties. Some were made by famous names, others by long-forgotten companies from the 1920s and 30s.The...
Tom_Fields Says: Oden Bowie, President of the Baltimore & Pennsylvania Railroad, built the rail depot here shortly after the Civil War. This is how Bowie acquired its name. Today, it's a small museum, no longer a working rail station.
Tom_Fields Says: Belair Stable was where the big thoroughbred horse-breeding began. Until it closed in 1957, it was the oldest operating horse farm in the US. It was home to two Triple Crown winners, Gallant Fox and Omaha. They were ancestors of the recent Derby winner Big Brown. Since then,...
Tom_Fields Says: Completed in 1745, this beautiful Georgian-style mansion was home of the Ogle family, including Maryland governor Samuel Ogle (1694-1752). There is a lot of history here. The rooms have all been restored to their 18th century appearance. One can see the reception hall,...

FrayedChick Says: If you happen to be spending some time in Bowie and are wondering what to do, fear not; not all hope is lost. Baltimore is a mere 40 minutes away! DC is about 25 minutes away and Annapolis is about the same. If you still aren't satisfied, Philadelphia is a 2 hour drive.All...
StephanieC68 Says: DC: Museums, Monuments, and the White House. Annapolis: Pubs, waterfront, and the Naval Academy. Baltimore: The National Aquarium and the Inner Harbor. Orioles Baseball.

Rips Country Inn - Restaurant: Hotel, Restaurant and Liquor Store
grandmaR Says: Since the Bowie Baysocks stadium has been built, this intersection has really been built up with a lot of various chain restaurants.But the oldest and non-chain restaurant is on the other side of the highway from most of the chains and a little farther south. [Several years...
grandmaR Says: This is at the south end on the west side of restaurant row on US 301 in Bowie. Bob describes this place as 'looking like a junk yard', and they seem to emphasize that type of ambiance. Outside there are sections of tin roof and inside is lots of exposed brick, looking like...
grandmaR Says: As usual when we go to Baltimore to visit my mom or go to the dentist, we stop on the way back for dinner. I was thinking of stopping at a Mexican restaurant that had a purple and green sign. That would have been Tia 's Tex-Mex. We have been there once when I mistook it for...
Fabian House Cafe: Vegetarian Cuisine in Old Town Bowie
Tom_Fields Says: If you take a pleasant day trip to Bowie, and decide to do lunch, this is the place. That is, if you like vegetarian cuisine. I'm not vegetarian, but this is good. It's wholesome, nutritious, and flavorful enough that I didn't miss having meat. It's inside an antique store...
Chili's Grill & Bar: Middle Tex-Mex
grandmaR Says: This is part of Restaurant Row along US 301 in Bowie.Chili's started 30 years (1975) ago in Dallas. The staples were burgers, chili, and tacos. Now they have over 1000 stores in 30 countries. For part of the Bowie Chili's menu is depicted in photos 4 and 5. Bob had the most...
Carrabba's Italian Grille: Italian in Bowie
grandmaR Says: We first ate at a Carrabba's in North Myrtle Beach near the Intercoastal, but I hadn't taken any pictures. Since then I've seen Carrabba's in several places (Memphis for instance), but we didn't go back to eat there until just recently on our way back from Baltimore. Once...
Smokey Bones: One of the Major Lonsdale Blvd Trio
grandmaR Says: Once you get to Major Lonsdale Blvd, you have a choice of three restaurants. Tony Roma, Friday's and Smoky Bones. This restaurant was formerly a Don Pablo's Mexican Kitchen. But it has been a Smoky Bones since 2004.We were seated quickly. There was a speaker on the table so...
Restaurant Row: Plenty to Choose From
grandmaR Says: This intersection has really been built up in the last 15 years. I've been to many of these restaurants, but sometimes not recently or not in this location. The ones I've been to most recently are Carrabba's, and Tia's (pictured), Rips, Chili's, Smoky Bones, and On the...
StephanieC68 Says: Start at McGarvey's at the city docks.. and walk from pub to pub.... then crawl back..
FrayedChick Says: All along Bowie, you will encounter many of the worst drivers ever. On a two lane rd you'll find one vehicle going 10 under the speed limit and in the passing lane, another vehicle doing the same. If you flash your lights at them they will either slow down and wait for you...
clewis222 Says: Crab Galley has some great seafood. They have two stores in small Maryland towns, one in Odenton and one in Bowie.
The Chesapeake Bay and The Nation's Capital
StephanieC68 Says: The Inner Harbor in Baltimore or the city docks in Annapolis or the Smithsonian in DC. Bowie Baysox Baseball! More fun than an Orioles game!!
