I do remember Rex's and the animal hospital but not the bar. But here's one for you -- on Wisconsin, between Western and Jennifer -- where Mazza is now, there was a gas station, a vacant lot and then a restaurant -- what was the restaurant called??
And the variety store I'm remembering was on Albemarle -- 1/2 a block off Wisconsin near Sears. Maybe "Jimmie's Variety" -- something like that. Seems they had everything in there! We used to ride our bikes and get fireballs and red licorice!
How about the DC transit bus barn and Paul Brothers Oldsmobile?
Boy, that part of DC is barely recognizable.
In my time, the pre-Mazza site was just a vacant lot. Lots of sunflowers grew there and we used to go inside and play soldiers and all that. However, my mother remembers the restaurant. It was called the Silver Fox. I have seen postcards for it in eBay.
I caught DC Transit in is final months so I recall the logo and the barn. I also remember Paul Brothers.
Watching late night B-Movies/Horror on WDCA or Channel 50
I really miss that. A couple of the free cable stations have shows, but they try to hard and they bombard it with commercials.
