The receptionist desk at UDC where you could pick up a blank student ID, complete with a spot for you to tape your high school picture. Jammed it in my manual Imperial typewriter, made up a birth date, taped on the picture and I was good to go! Would not get you anywhere today, but it sure worked at Dixie Liquor back in '76.

I remember standing in line for Armand's pizza too. It's not the same pizza. Changed management, right?

I remember getting your fillings rattled out when driving through Georgetown due to the cobblestones and abandoned trolly tracks.

No, I sometimes refer to CVS as People's. However, most natives know what I'm talking about. It's the transplants who look at me like, "WTH is a People's?"


+1
I do too. Also, I remember Dart Drug!

I remember the Popeyes by Metro Center. It had a walk-up window with thick plexiglass.
