Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC

That whole part of Georgia Ave. is pretty seedy. They're supposed to be closing the hospital, but I know soldiers are still being evacuated to there. I'm not sure what they have planned for the area, but DC and PG county have been undergoing a regentrification project, so there might be some other housing/beautification projects in the works.

The only part of GA Ave that's undergone any overhaul is thearea by the courthouse on Cameroon St. which is home to the new AFI Silver Theater. But it's only the 3 blocks or so around the Silver Spring Metro-- great if you're a tourist or live right exactly there, but kinda uot in nowhere for the rest of us.

I didn't know you were an Arlington gal! I was born in DC too at George Washington University Hospital, and we lived on Mass ave until we moved to the Montgomery County suburbs in 1975, the year Grosvenor Metro on the red line opened up! 495 is still a parking lot, though 270 has gone from a 4-lane highway to a 12-lane super highway-plus-technology corridor.

Woodies! Of course! There was one in Montgomery Mall too, where I used to go with my mom as a kid. The building you're talking about remained as is for a while after the merchandise moved out. It looks like it was vacant for the better part of a decade before the Swedish chain H&M moved in.

Man, I haven't thought about Woodies in a while!
