    Quoting the Rosslyn BID History page:

    “Fort Myer Drive

    A quiet, daytime picture of Fort Myer Drive, also known as “Pork Chop Row.” This neighborhood in Rosslyn was notorious for gambling, drinking, and other vices.”

    Who knew I live in such a wretched hive of scum and villainy…13716f6ba6f6720c6f855e285e627c0f.jpg

    Kitty got 3 likes so I need to move on before Steve O posts his picture for this…

    George Lincoln Rockwell:

    The leader of the American Nazi Party was gunned down at the Dominion Hills Shopping Center while trying to do his laundry.
    George Lincoln Rockwell was shot by former neo-Nazi John Patler from the rooftop of the shopping center when he went out to his car to go and get bleach to clean his clothes with at the laundromat. Patler was arrested half an hour later, after throwing his gun into Four Mile Run nearby, when he was spotted with wet trousers waiting for a bus by a police officer.

    Evidently you people with jobs have plenty of time to play these games. I have pictures of all three, but had actual things to do.

    Watson (my bike is actually in the pond, worth a point, IMO)

    Dammit! I’m way late too this thread having missed Dead Mens Hollow. Om my Notorious ARL tour, the official DMH stop is at 19th and Moore Street where the Continental Beer Garden is now. It’s AKA Crandel Mackey Park, named for the Commonwealth Attorney who “cleaned it up” by raiding the bars and brothels.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]16458[/ATTACH]

    This parklet was also once home to the decorated storage contained that now lives in Barcroft Park and used by Phoenix Bikes.

    Finally, there is also a local Blue Grass band of the same name, taken b/c several of the members lived in Arlington when they formed and thought it was cool.

    So much history for just one street corner. Notorious!

    From Rosslyn Magazine:
    “The garage is inconspicuous at best, hidden behind a gray-bricked wall under the commercial office building at 1401 Wilson Blvd., off N. Nash Street. (pictured at right).* But it holds a unique place in American history.
    In a dark quiet corner, slot 32D is the space where, in 1972 and 1973, Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward would meet at two in the morning with “Deep Throat,” his secret source on the Watergate break–in.”
