Georgetown Radio: A film and soundtrack from the early 90s

Blogging Georgetown linked to another great blog Washblog who has posted a two part video recording life in Georgetown during the early 1990's.

Old Foghi remembers the Georgetown Tavern, Hamilton Hall before the facelift, the Blue Max (yes, drinking with pilots and cabin crew!) and the Rainier Lady covered with vines. Most of the bars and businesses along Airport Way were yet to be concieved, boards over windows shielded our view of people living in lofts and small apartments.

Part 1


Part 2


One thing that is striking is the shot of the traffic entering I-5 from Carleton Avenue. Old Foghi and the Old Fart moved into Georgetown in the late 1990's so we were not around when the traffic was routed straight up Carleton.

Traffic circles and a traffic divider have changed the way people navigate these historic streets. I am so glad I only have a few cars and the bus to worry about when I ride my bicycle on Carleton.
