2/25- SMITH

In 1986, my favorite band in high school, The Smiths, played at the Charles E Smith Center at GWU.

I now know Morrissey is not someone I would hang out with, but back then I had no clue and I even emulated his look with a pompadour 😀 (this pic was from 2006, 20+ years after I started listening to them)

2/25 Smith

Library statue celebrating past, present, and future wordSMITHs

2/25/24 SMITH

In my younger days, I enjoyed going to this Piano Bar in Georgetown (was on K, now on Water street under the Whitehurst).
