I hope you guys go get ’em! I had an idea for this one, but I’m officially grounded tomorrow aside from my sleaze ride.

The Legend of Cool Disco Dan…

Despite efforts to erase his legacy for the sake of progress or “beautification” ol’ Dan is still looking down on us…

So I’m really excited about this one, because it was a chance find. With Dan having passed and most of his tags painted over, I didn’t think I’d be able to share one of his. But this afternoon when I went looking for Frozemon along the C&O, I saw all the new-blood graffiti and was thinking about ol’ Dan. As I passed under Key I looked up and saw it! Cool ‘Disco’ Dan lives on!

Dead Man’s Hollow

We have a contested round with three submissions. At the time of scoring, two submissions have the minimum three likes. However, Kitty has the most likes with four – and steals the vote.

Next: Dead Man’s Hollow (did someone jump the gun, as it were, on Dead Man’s Hollow??)

A description of where Dead Man’s Hollow is (not really sure myself):

“Just as the friction between the two groups seemed headed to physical confrontation, the parade lurched forward towards its terminus at Dead Man’s Hollow. The Klansmen turned back to Lee Highway passing Dead Man’s Hollow, which was a notorious hideout of highwaymen and killers located roughly at the base of the Key Bridge Marriott’s parking garage. Here the ruffians from Rosslyn would dump bodies and roll cash-rich farmers as they left the markets of Washington. Did the local thugs watch the parade warily from their roosts and did the Klansmen gaze into the woods hoping no gunshots rang out? The spot frightened locals after dark, so even the numerically superior Klan marched cautiously past the hollow.”

(Not sure on protocol when a pic is posted prematurely but here’s mine, actually depicting a “hollow” near the spot)

From Ghosts of DC:
“So, the next time you’re heading west out of Rosslyn on Lee Highway, think about how lucky you are that you’re not walking 100 years ago, heading down that hill near Spout Run, near the shopping center. Back then, it might have been your last trip.”

(And 2nd photo for locational context. :p)

No. There were 3 likes for Dan prior to my submission.

Your “hollow” is not very close to Lee Highway, though. At the Mediterranean restaurant in Cherrydale, they have an old photo on the wall of Lee Highway in that vicinity (where Lyon Village shopping center is now). My bike is just across the street from the Lee Highway “hollow” that existed at that time — essentially where Lee Highway crosses Spout Run (the stream, not the road).

I also used the Ghosts of DC description, which is a good mile+ away from the other one. If I had to guess, I would consider the Spout Run location more likely. The other one was too close to civilization, while the one farther west would have been truly spooky. It would also be more like a hollow, in that you had to come up out of Rosslyn and then back down into the hollow. By the Key Bridge, even back then, Lee Highway was pretty much just an uphill climb.

We have two submissions for Dead Man’s Hollow – which shall receive the coveted three votes? Which shall receive the most votes?

[rcannon100]

We have two submissions for Dead Man’s Hollow. Both have one vote (no I am not counting Mr Happy voting for himself :rolleyes:)

Let’s keep this game rolling. Seems to be some ambiguity about where exactly Dead Man’s Hollow is – and the peanut gallery isnt crowd sourcing the truth. So points are free. You get a point. And you get a point. And you get a point…… everyone who participated in this round gets a point.

Next: Dwight W. Watson and his tractor
