Didn't think I'd be coming back here again, but it happened. The school sponsored my trip, so no folks, I'm not rich.

BUT BEFORE YOU GO FURTHER, YOU MUST DL THIS SONG. IT IS MY GIFT TO YOU!!!!!!11111 (http://www.streetsandsoul.com/wash2/gift.mp3)

Since my hotel was in Alexandria, I thought I'd get some shots.

KING SHIT!!!

The rally. I almost got arrested for swinging on some redneck trash who muttered "dumb niggers" under his breath. I'm all for freedom of speech, but I'm also for "freedom of fist", meaning my fist might just find its way to your teeth based on your comments. I'm 6'1" and ~215 lbs and I haven't had a foot massage in months! You don't wanna fuck with me. Go make my soup.

Well, last time I called Alexandria "Wilmette meets Philadelphia". Upon further exploring, I ran into a hood, complete with people hanging their clothes out in courtyards, bullet proof glass and what not. Now I think of Alexandria as an Evanston meets Philadelphia.

Some more wandering, this time around Shaw and Howard U. I don't know where I walked, but it was DC, so it would probably look like a spiderweb if I mapped it.

Oh Chocolate City, lets get funked up with the some P Funk.

I really enjoyed this! Thanks.

[James Bond Agent 007]

Chocopolis? Now I'm hungry. :(

[village person]

230+ pics? How much is that "+" worth?!

This thread makes my city want to cry. :drowning:





That VIDEO!! It's like... like the BORG!! C'mon nerds, chant with me! "Resistance is futile!" :psycho:

[WesternGulf]

Damn. You get around my any means necessary when visiting cities. I love that canyon shot behind the White House. How is that area around Howard compared to the rest of the real DC? I'm trying to find out how my friend who goes there does not appreciate DC or is he not getting around.

[Urban Zombie®]

Shazaam-bam. Lotsa history in this here thread, a'yup. Too many good pics, like little locusts eating away at my eyes. Those shots from the top of that big white boner thing are absolute magic.

But what the hell is this big imposing building in the foreground?:
http://www.streetsandsoul.com/wash2/wash123.jpg

The national Vanilla Ice museum or...?

[Grimm]

Alright. I guess men lie, women lie... but foot massages don't.

[Evergrey]

beautiful photos... so much action... so much color... so vivid and vital... brilliant!

[-GR2NY-]

space out your pics in the future.

[skylife]

This is a really ambitious and nicely done thread!

[Ex-Ithacan]

So ya hit DC and can't give a brother a holla? Damn.

I like your pictures man, thanks.

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/2051/funk1jq5.jpg

[SLC Projects]

Wow, those were alot of pics. that most of tooken forever to post all those pics on this thread. :haha: But nice photos.

[OfCourse]

wow, that was awesome

[A-town]

Nice thread, didn't realize D.C. was so dense.

[Cirrus]

Killer. Hope you had a blast. Wonder I didn't see you at a drinking fountain.

... But next time you're in town we're taking you see some other neighborhoods. ;-)

[Segun]

Gulf - Well, that area seemed lightweight hood. DC is a real extreme contrast city, so he probably has the same problems with the city that lots of black folks have here with Chicago.

Aus - Thats where they make picture hangers.

GRY - I'll press the space bar between each picture next time, thanks.

Ex - Had I prepared for this trip and had time I would have hollered.

Cirrus - I had no time to prepare for this, I was informed literally two days before going that I was going.

[Kilgore Trout]

that was epic.

[jacksom]

The Best of the D dot C.

Great pics.

[dc_denizen]

Awesome! Great to see Alexandria get its due.

[boden]

dent delivered dc.....and deliciously.........

[Robert Pence]

Holy Smoke! What a hell of a thing to see, first thing in the morning. Now, I'm gonna' have to rest a while before I do anything else!

:worship:

[BG918]

OUR CAPITAL CITY ROCKS! Nice Pics!

[Buckeye Native 001]

That's our capitol?

Gorgeous. :tup:

[giovanni sasso]

dope city.

dunno how i feel about a place that calls itself bohemian unless it's old, like 50s old.

also did not realize the straight shot up the mall to the capitol from up top the monument looks further out into RFK.

also. how many pics / what time do you go to the dentist? tooth hurty

[Segun]

^ that place has been there since the late 20's.

[Complex01]

Those are really great pics. Makes me want to get out there and check the whole thing out. Nice job...


:yes:

[Xing]

Damn, those are great. It's too bad people even have to protest. Our country is filled with quite a few racists, money hungry , and oblivious whores.

[MSPtoMKE]

I wish i would get whisked off to DC on 2 days notice. Prolific tour.

[Kingofthehill]

Oh shit son!

Omega thread! What do you have in store for us this year?

[jowens]

.............FIGHT FOR OLD DC!!

Great Thread!!

[jowens]

But what the hell is this big imposing building in the foreground?:
http://www.streetsandsoul.com/wash2/wash123.jpg

The national Vanilla Ice museum or...?

Thats RFK Stadium, the former homes of the Redskins and more recently the Senators.

[zeno3333333]

I hope they continue to block Apple's attempts to put an Apple store on the main street of Georgetown. Apple wants it to have the plain silver-grey front there like all of the other Apple stores..it ruin the look of the old store fronts in Georgetown.

[araman0]

Great shots! I warm up to DC more everytime I see pictures of it.

Where is this?

http://www.streetsandsoul.com/wash2/wash146.jpg

[Midwesterner]

Nicely done good sir!

[stax]

Great shots! I warm up to DC more everytime I see pictures of it.

Where is this?

http://www.streetsandsoul.com/wash2/wash146.jpg
That's Rosslyn (Arlington VA), right across the bridge.

[OhioGuy]

I commented when this thread first was posted, but I've gotta comment again. DC & the surrounding suburbs have so many great streetscapes. Pedestrians certainly have plenty to appreciate in the Capital region.

I particularly adore the look of Alexandria. Very beautiful.

[Nouvellecosse]

Gotta be the best DC area thread I've ever seen! No doubt one of the US' greatest cities.

[Jibba]

Damn, this was something. A lot of something; something really, really good.
