I’m a DC native from 18th and Columbia Rd grew up in the 80’s around Park Rd and later on Kennedy St. never heard of this place. My place was Cavaliers downtown.

Grew up on 18th and Columbia in the building where fleet feet is... my joint was lifestyle and red Foxx downtown

Y’all didn’t come outside then. Anyone who was anyone shopped in Georgetown. Sure, you could hit Snyder’s, 4 Dudes, and even Cavalier’s, but Prince and Princess, GT Players, Britches of Georgetown, etc, these places were a destination to buy clothes.
