Wow I love this thread!!!
Don and Mike on WAVA and then WJFK. The original morning zoo with Janet from another Planet and Burnt Toast and Coffee Time with David Haines. Man do I miss D&M.
The Greaseman on DC101
HFSestivals
The Caps Centre
Key Theater and there was a movie poster store right near there where I would buy posters for my room.
When Urban Outfitters first opened up in Gtown and we thought it was so cool and hip like DC had hit the big time.
Commander Salamander
Tony Bennett sang at the reopening of Montgomery Mall when we gained a Nordstrom. Happened to be there shopping w/my family and he was performing lol
Chevy Chase Bank (when I was kid, I always thought this was the "fancy" bank)
Being able to take a tour of the WH by just getting in line outside and waiting for your turn to go in. No special tickets needed. No screening, background checks, etc.

When you could drive-up and park anywhere to watch the fireworks downtown (and DC was known as "downtown"). My dad would park our tiny compact car on some grassy section near the Tidal Basin and we all got out and walked to a good viewing spot. Never blinked an eye or thought twice.
