[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, this is one of the silliest threads I've ever read on this board.  Even "Three chicken legs and a whole lot of fries" is more informative . . .  [/quote]

Did that thread get deleted? I saw it and then minutes later didn't see, thought I had somehow imagined it lol![/quote]

Moved to the food/restaurants section . . .[/quote]

Thanks!

I'm a native - grew up in Alexandria but came into the city all the time, school field trips and family outings as a kid and then as a teen going to RFK for the annual HFStival, [b]getting first fake id at a video store on Georgetown near Commander Salamander[/b], first piercing at jinx proof, using fake id at Trax and Buzz before Nats Park was around...

My native experience is vastly different than some of those monied, legacy folks. I think the transplants have helped DC improve - some argue against gentrification and its effects but I like how nice DC is - no more murder capital and crack epidemic

LOL. I still have mine. I believe it was on O St. I pulled it out for my best friend, because we went together when we were 15 to get them. We just talked about it like a year or two ago. I also remember many HFStivals at RFK and Trax. [/quote]

OMG.  This brought back so many memories. I forgot all about Georgetown being the only place to get fake IDs, right near Commander Salamander.  I was too chicken to actually go through with it and ended up giving money to a friend who came back with our fakes, but just the vibe of Georgetown, before gentrification... it was a much wilder place.[/quote]

I was sad reading this thread before I got to these comments.  I grew up in Dc proper and I went to NCS.  So yes, a private school edu, but I can tell you I did not AT ALL fit in with the girls there.  I was "poor" by their standards, and boy did they remind me of it.  I was happy to catch the bus to Georgetown and hang out with other kids  .  I spent a lot of time at Commander Salamander, Georgetown Cafe, and Cafe Northwest.  If I was lucky I would get my parent's astro van and head over to the Pitts motor hotel by Meridian Park to hang out with my friends behind the bullet proof glass in the lobby drinking NeHit and eating some sort of combo of "friend chicken" and "Chinese food."[/quote]
