[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That feeling of nostalgia and simpler times is really just because you didn't have a job. So chasing it is tough because the reason we all remember back so fondly is that we had no responsibilities. Of course life was good. [/quote]

Ha! Speak for yourself. I had a job and responsibilities. What I remember was how many places in DC were sketchy and dangerous even during the daytime.[/quote]
True. I went on a quest in mid 1990s to visit all the Smithsonian’s and ventured into anacostia for the one there. It was pretty rough then. [/quote]

I remember when the MCI center was built (now Capitol One Arena). Chinese people actually lived in Chinatown back then.[/quote]

I do not remember Chinese people living there.  They mostly lived in the suburbs.  I do remember all the really sketchy p&rn stores and peep shows with crack addicts slumped on the sidewalks outside and really low rent hookers.  That was one of the most depressing areas I’ve ever been in, and I also lived in NYC and New Haven in tje early 90s, each of which also had their own share of  issues.
We should all take a minute and thank the Clinton administration for somehow saving our urban areas.  By the end of his administration they were somehow a million times better.  [/quote]

Chinese people started leaving Chinatown after the 68 riots, but there were still many there before the MCI Center opened. There were Chinese grocery stores, shops, restaurants, etc. [/quote]

I remember the Chinese restaurants and the signs in Chinese but having previously lived in Ny and SF, I remember thinking it weird that I never saw Chinese people in DC chinatown  or heads anyone speaking Chinese.  I started coming to DC in 1991 and my brothers office was near Chinatown so I was often walking around there but moved here in 1994.  [/quote]
