[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This made me nostalgic. i lived in Georgetown as a young 20 something person in the 1990s. I remember shopping at the Georgetown mall at Xmas, and it would be packed, with a quartet playing carols in the center. I saw Bill Clinton shopping there one year.
 
I remember taking my son there when he was little (early 2000s) and I remember wondering what happened -- why it was so empty. And then of course it closed.

I have all these memories of restaurants that no longer exist but were part of my young adulthood -- Georgetown Cafe (many late nights there), Hamburger Heaven, Something that was like White Castle (can't remember its name), Au pied de cochon.

And there was a great club there Champions.

Sigh.[/quote]

White Castle was probably Little Tavern; on M west of Wisconsin.

Georgetown mall is still there. I think? It’s a huge hulking brick thing on M St. I last went there for bowling around the back side. Some $$$ place. Lucky strike? I remember ogling FAO Schwartz in there as a kid. Victoria’s Secret as a teen. And then there used to be a DMV there after the mall failed FOR A WHILE.

I have been to Georgetown this year to go to the movies, Lush, Sephora, and the Apple Store.[/quote]

I used to go to Georgetown specifically for those three stores. Except now the only shop exclusive to Gtown is Lush. [/quote]

Lush, which makes stinky, migraine-inducing junk, is in every mall in the area (and freestanding stores too). It’s not exclusive to Georgetown [/quote]

I wouldn't object to Lush if they would keep the doors closed so I don't have to cross the street to walk by safely.
