You get an imaginary cookie for reading the whole thing. :D
Worked at Airport Plaza when 9/11 happened in 2001. I used to have lunch down there every day, walked up from AP to Clark St. On 9/11, we weren't sure if we were supposed to stay underground or not... We did, but were evacuated.. It was a surreal time.
Crystal City was THE place back in the day! I worked in the Zach Taylor building for a Navy contract, and I used to go down through Crystal City and get my lunch and comics at Geppi's. That was 1992-1994. Sad to see this.
The second Subway moved to a building in the next block over on Crystal Dr.
So sad to see it in this state. We started going there in the early ’80s and I was stationed on and off in DC until retirement in 2021. Even in the 90s when the theatre closed there were some signs that the smaller shops could not make it. There was a small shop in the Alley that sold stained glass that my mother always wanted to shop at. A loss to the area but times change
What a shame.....
I remember it in the mid 90s they used to have a FYe record store and a Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, etc. the best place to skip school in those times there was a free shuttle bus, Crystal city Pentagon city and skyline where we live that ran every half an hour that we used to take down to Crystal city, I remember busy it was business booming from what we saw throughout the 90s and the early 2Ks I was there last week walking through and it’s so sad and eerie. How times change!
Nice coverage of the closure. Hopefully we see a change for the better and a revitalization of the tunnels in the future!
I thought the Constructicons smashed it to bits cycles ago?
