"Childhood Mainstreet USA"

I could be a tad biased because Potomac Avenue has been my "Mainstreet USA" almost since birth. It connects Banksville Road to West Liberty Avenue, two extremes to say the least. Perfectly flat and business lined where it intersects with West Liberty, family homes are what you walk or drive by as you tackle the large hill where it meets Banksville Road. I spent the better part of my happy childhood on the 1700 block of Potomac Avenue but the entire stretch is family friendly and provides access to everything from public transportation and restaurants (Campiti's Pizza is the best!) to a neighborhood pharmacy where you can still purchase hand dipped ice cream!
