We See You, Carl: A Gray Hair’s Guide to Community Intel

June 05, 20251 min read

Let’s clear something up:
I’m retiring the word “senior.”
Not because we’re not seasoned, but because that label doesn’t tell the whole story.

From here on out, it’s Gray Hairs. Lovingly, boldly, and unapologetically.
We’ve earned every strand—and every story that comes with it.

Let’s be real: Gray Hairs run the streets.
Not literally (unless it’s mall walking day), but if you want to know what’s really going on in your neighborhood, ask someone who’s been around long enough to remember when Bowie only had one grocery store.

Here are just a few things we’ve got the inside scoop on:

  1. Which neighbor has the best backyard tomatoes.
    And which one secretly waters them with tap water instead of rainwater. (We see you, Carl.)

  2. The real reason the corner house never got finished.
    We heard it straight from Shirley, who heard it from her cousin who plays dominoes with the contractor’s mother.

  3. The best spot to park for Bowie events without getting towed.
    We’ve mapped it out over decades. You’re welcome.

  4. Who makes the best sweet potato pie—and who adds too much nutmeg.
    Some things can’t be Googled.

  5. Which walking trail has the least chance of a surprise squirrel ambush.
    This is vital information. Trust us.

  6. When to actually go to the grocery store if you want to avoid the rush.
    (Hint: It’s NOT Sunday after church. That’s social hour.)

  7. Why it’s called Mitchellville, not Bowie East.
    And we’ll give you the side-eye if you get it wrong.

We’re not relics—we’re resources. We’ve lived, we know, and we’re still learning. So the next time you need the real story, don’t ask Siri.
