Oh yes...
Also the ‘dump’ in Clarendon near Red Top Cab.
I guess I could say that I was ‘proud’ to know the owners of most of the dump establishments of the mid 60s & 70s.
Sure beats the hell out of the ‘fern bars’ that replaced them.
EVERY dump in every city is exactly the same.
I used to sit around a ‘new establishment’ and name all the characters that were in other establishments I used to plop my elbow down in.
And for Arlington, don’t forget NORTON’s, withing easy walking distance of the Pentagon/Ft Myer and Quarters K.
At that time (early to mid 60s) Cocos was an upscale restaurant..ha ha
Well, at least we can count on the Crystal City Restaurant.
T*T’s and Steak.
