Trying to find an old deli owner/friend from Montgomery Village/Gaithersburg area around 2005
Hey everyone,
This may be a long shot, but I figured I’d try.
Back around 2005, right after graduating college, I moved to the Montgomery Village/Gaithersburg area to begin my career. I lived at Hunt Club Apartments and became close friends with a guy named Jimmy who owned or operated a small deli nearby. I believe it may have been called Village Deli, Avenue Deli, or possibly Market Deli, but I honestly can’t remember exactly.
I spent a lot of evenings there back then. Jimmy and his crew treated me like family during a time when I was young, broke, starting life on my own, and trying to figure everything out. We’d hang out late into the night, laugh, eat, and just enjoy life. Some of my best memories from that chapter of my life came from that place.
I’ve often wondered what happened to the deli and whether Jimmy is still around. If anyone from the area remembers a deli fitting this description near Hunt Club Apartments or Montgomery Village Ave during the early-mid 2000s, I’d love to hear from you.
Funny how certain people and places stay with you decades later.
Thanks everyone.
