Entire city rebalanced to the east, making Georgetown a somewhat peripheral area today.
People want to walk to things now. Not much to walk to there anymore.
Urban legend. See Schrag, Zachary for the story.

Those aren't new. Georgetown has ALWAYS been right on the flight path since it's on the river and so close to the airport. In the 90s I worked in an office with a view of the river and sometimes it seemed like the planes were coming right at us.
It's gotten much worse in the past couple of years. DCA flight paths changed and the airplanes now fly directly over neighborhoods instead of sticking to the river.

Georgetown was the place to go for Halloween back in the 70s and 80s. It was just a pedestrian zone along M St. The most outrageous costumes! What a blast!
Where does this happen now?

Yes, those were the good old days
I also remember going to Garretts, Winstons, and The Cellar. Man, I miss those days!!! Actually DC nightlife (not just Georgetown) back then was so much better in my opinion.

It's an urban legend that they refused a metro station. It wasn't feasible from an engineering standpoint.

Isn't the whole point of Georgetown the idle rich living around other idle rich? Had no idea people drove there for nightlife.

I think Georgetown changed when Bill Clinton was president. I'm not sure why that happened but it did.
