People's Drug... "the challenger". I think they were "the challenger" to Dart Drug, who were the big boys. Who also ran Crown Books. But then became Fantles. Now, all are gone. |

OMG, my grandma used to take us to the one in Arlington all the time. I loved that place - so cold, delicious ice cream, and a glass of water. (Don't know why the water stuck with me?) I so wish Gifford's was still around. |

| Gino's! The cool middle schoolers went there after school and ate fries smothered in ketchup. |

Babe's on Wisconsin near Tenley circle (and the summer - fall of 80? When Kandy Barbour worked there behind the bar).
The Far Inn at Connecticut a block south of Porter. Gallagher's Irish pub that replaced the tiki hut that's now Nanny O'Brians. And the live music thurs-sun. And the wood fire in the back room. That teenybopper bar/dance place on Wisconsin north of La Nicoise. La Nicoise. And the Japanese restaurant on the north corner of Wisconsin facing the Georgetown public library. The Bistro Francaise on M that served all night long. Howard Stern doing dial a date Friday night drive time. The Four Provinces (and the FBI types watching the Provos that hung out there) When federal triangle had a huge gravel parking lot that the Reagan Building is now. Toast &Strawberries just south of DuPont circle. The bookstore at 17th and g street -- spent many lunch breaks there. |

| i'm a dc native and even though i have visited far and wide i always have a special nostalgic love for how my DC was. Do any dc natives miss how it was before all the transplants who forever drove up housing prices and took a ton of jobs here to get wealthy and forever wrecked the roads with potholes and parking like traffic miss how it was before? |

I miss the old DC. But my DC memories are from wonderful times in my youth and I miss my youth more than I miss the old DC. |
