| Even in the early 2000s, Georgetown still had a nightlife. Anyone remember Mie&Yu, Blue Gin etc? Now it’s got a very corporate feel. Sad. |

| I think Georgetown changed when Bill Clinton was president. I'm not sure why that happened but it did. |

Refusing a metro station was short sighted.... Entire city rebalanced to the east, making Georgetown a somewhat peripheral area today. People want to walk to things now. Not much to walk to there anymore. |

Isn't the whole point of Georgetown the idle rich living around other idle rich? Had no idea people drove there for nightlife. |

It's an urban legend that they refused a metro station. It wasn't feasible from an engineering standpoint. |

I also remember going to Garretts, Winstons, and The Cellar. Man, I miss those days!!! Actually DC nightlife (not just Georgetown) back then was so much better in my opinion. |

Those aren't new. Georgetown has ALWAYS been right on the flight path since it's on the river and so close to the airport. In the 90s I worked in an office with a view of the river and sometimes it seemed like the planes were coming right at us. |

Georgetown was the place to go for Halloween back in the 70s and 80s. It was just a pedestrian zone along M St. The most outrageous costumes! What a blast!
Where does this happen now? |

It's gotten much worse in the past couple of years. DCA flight paths changed and the airplanes now fly directly over neighborhoods instead of sticking to the river. |

Urban legend. See Schrag, Zachary for the story. |
