Ok, wow, I *REALLY* didn't know what I was missing by not reading the #AdamsMorgan listserv

Been awhile since I've complained about helicopters overhead. Tonight is the night. What the hell!? #AdamsMorgan #DC π
π· #AlJirikowic, Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, 1987.
Al is an artistic polymath and impresario I knew in late 80s DC when he was king of alt-nightlife in #AdamsMorgan. We met and became friends at his rooftop #KitschTiki bar, #Krakatoa Lounge.
Al liked my pictures and gave me confidence when I was just beginning to shoot with intention.
I learned this minute he's Art Critic at #NewArtExaminer in #Phoenix. Because of course he is! π

π» #80s #DC #Diary | Al Jirikowic's rooftop "Krakatoa Lounge" in #AdamsMorgan.
The "Tiki-style" bar lasted just four months in 1988 before the guy Al leased from sold out.
It was a beautiful thing while it lasted, but once-"dodgy" Adams-Morgan was being overrun by money.
One of the bar backs (who shall remain anon) played in a now-famous punk/ska band
There, then and never again.

I'm sad to hear that Amsterdam Falafel on 18th Street NW in Washington, D.C.'s Adams Morgan neighborhood is closing. Many delicious memories there!

I forgot Amsterdam Falafel opened in 2004, the year that I helped launch DCist. I wrote this DCist post on Amsterdam Falafel 19 years ago (!), amusingly aggregating an eGullet food forum review: https://dcist.com/story/04/10/08/18th-street-fal/

The right is crying about Tucker; no one is crying about Don; I am weeping about this. #dc #adamsmorgan #Falafel
