Making a special trip downtown to shop at Woodies instead of going to the JC Penney's in Silver Spring
Getting off from school when the Redskins won the Superbowl so we could go to the parade Wheaton when it was still a plaza ... then going to the movies there when it go covered ... then being so happy when Metro opened there so we didn't need mom and dad to drive us to the movies ... missing the last train out of wheaton because we didn't leave the movie early enough Getting "punk" makeovers at Commander Slamander Hanging out at Union Station after it was renovated When City Place first opened, it was the bomb, and we didn't have to go all the way to Wheaton for theaters |

Don't know if it is the same place, but there is a place of the same name at 17th and Penn. My husband used to work right there so he went for drinks a couple of times, and we have brought our kids there for lunch on weekends. |

Went to college here and still remember:
The Biograph Seeing a double bill of Reefer Madness and Nixon's Checkers speech at the Inner Circle just before Nixon resigned (it was hilarious) Trav's Inn in Glen Echo WGTB before Georgetown University shut it down The Birchmere when it was a small venue in a shopping plaza When Booeymonger was run out of a small storefront in Georgetown by white hippies Four-wheeling in my jeep in the woods behind Tysons Corner mall Food for Thought in Dupont Circle When DC was called the capital of bluegrass |

| When Penn Quarter was the "red light" district in the city, with peep shows, XXX movie theaters and what not. Oh, and 5th Column, the Ritz, the Vault and the Shakespear theater. |
