When Penn Quarter was the "red light" district in the city, with peep shows, XXX movie theaters and what not. Oh, and 5th Column, the Ritz, the Vault and the Shakespear theater.

There is no way we do not know each other. The Ritz, I haven't thought about that awful place in forever!

Went to college here and still remember:
The Biograph
Seeing a double bill of Reefer Madness and Nixon's Checkers speech at the Inner Circle just before Nixon resigned (it was hilarious)
Trav's Inn in Glen Echo
WGTB before Georgetown University shut it down
The Birchmere when it was a small venue in a shopping plaza
When Booeymonger was run out of a small storefront in Georgetown by white hippies
Four-wheeling in my jeep in the woods behind Tysons Corner mall
Food for Thought in Dupont Circle
When DC was called the capital of bluegrass

Don't know if it is the same place, but there is a place of the same name at 17th and Penn. My husband used to work right there so he went for drinks a couple of times, and we have brought our kids there for lunch on weekends.

Making a special trip downtown to shop at Woodies instead of going to the JC Penney's in Silver Spring
Getting off from school when the Redskins won the Superbowl so we could go to the parade
Wheaton when it was still a plaza ... then going to the movies there when it go covered ... then being so happy when Metro opened there so we didn't need mom and dad to drive us to the movies ... missing the last train out of wheaton because we didn't leave the movie early enough
Getting "punk" makeovers at Commander Slamander
Hanging out at Union Station after it was renovated
When City Place first opened, it was the bomb, and we didn't have to go all the way to Wheaton for theaters
