Loved reading and reminiscing. My (80 year old) dad owns Georgetown Tobacco and I grew up walking these same streets. Miss those days so much. His shop is one of the last remaining, been there for over 55 years...might not make it past this year due to Covid. :/Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351939498348865442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35887789.post-41032621053925713882016-07-27T19:45:01.335-04:002016-07-27T19:45:01.335-04:00Hey, did you by chance know a student at the Corco...Hey, did you by chance know a student at the Corcoran named Scott Saylor?Puscifer10000https://www.blogger.com/profile/09300494390249818719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35887789.post-42674470669344482972016-04-27T18:21:36.101-04:002016-04-27T18:21:36.101-04:00Thanks for the great memories & your take on t...Thanks for the great memories & your take on the old D.C. scene.

I recall going to Georgetown with my girlfriend and brothers regularly from about 1972 to 1978.<br /><br />At Desperados, I saw Danny Gatton play and was awestruck at his exceptional guitar playing that included rock, blues, country and jazz.<br /><br />I spent much more time in the '70s at The Cellar Door, where I saw Linda Ronstadt, Robert Palmer, Proctor and Bergman (Firesign Theatre) and Larry Coryell and others acts I've forgotten.<br /><br />I loved seeing old black and white at the Biograph (I may have seen Casablanca there or a Marx Bros. movie). I saw more movies, however, at the American Film Institute when its theater was at The Kennedy Center.<br /><br />And yes, I saw a few music acts at the Bayou, though I can only recall one group, Tragically Hip, who played there in the early 1980s.<br /><br />Kemp Mill Records, near Wheaton, Md., was a great place to buy LPs. I recall the store periodically had sales and sold all records at the discount price of $3.99 a piece (If I'm remembering correctly). My brother, Nick, who was probably only 9 or 10 years old at the time, talked briefly on-air with WHFS (102.3) disc jockey "Weasil," when DJ did a remote broadcast from the record store.<br /><br />And who could forget Little Tavern Hamburger? I remember Little Tavern best when it was in College Park, Md. My dad took me there as a kid, and later I ate there occasionally while attending University of Maryland.Keith Phucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112167140752538701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35887789.post-2544652387002358522011-05-21T21:39:18.727-04:002011-05-21T21:39:18.727-04:00Thanks for memories.

I remember so many places there. Pall Mall, Trincus Deli, Library Lounge, The Bayou, Annies, Poseurs, Blues Alley, Fish Market (aka the Meat Market), Winstons...Then there were the places downtown like Rumors, Pier St Annex, Kramer Books & Afterwards, & Dupont Circle had Cagney's (with their little curtained booths)...wow.
