1173_indian_mound_-_001_3600_01The Chevy Chase neighborhood was developed from the late 1920's through the 1950's and centers around the intersection of East High Street, Euclid Avenue, and Fontaine Road.  The 400 block of Cochran Road is known as G.I. Row.  Development of this section of Chevy Chase began before World War II, but came to a halt during the war due to a ration on building materials.  After, the war, construction was completed after an agreement between the War Department and the builder was reached in which the building materials would be provided for free, but the homes could only be sold to returning G.I.'s.  The homes were completed in 1946. Homes in this neighborhood include a variety of architectural styles from Bungalows to Georgian's and many homes have been completely renovated to adapt to modern living.  

 The shops along Romany Rd. are a hub of activity and make this area particularly conducive to walking and biking. A doctor, dentist, veterinarian and accountant are all located here, as well as banks, drycleaners and a barber shop. On this street you will find Wheeler's Pharmacy, which has been in the neighborhood since 1958, still draws many of the neighborhood locals to its old fashion lunch counter every day. Christ the King Catholic School brings in students from around the city and hosts an annual Octoberfest filled with food, games, and entertainment enjoyed by all ages. Some of the neighborhood's favorite restaurants include A.P. Suggins, The Tulip, and Billy's Bar-B-Que.  Always a good source of information for this particular neighborhood is The Chevy Chaser Magazine, a community magazine that features local businesses, cultural events, and restaurant reviews.
