I went to see the funkadelics at the capital center in 1972. You’re not accurate with your facts

My brother fought for golden glove boxing in 1974. I would also go with my mom to watch wrestling

the real religion of these guys is modernism lol

this is what happens when modernism went around to destroy in war religious countries

Washington Coliseum has wonderful memories for me.❤ Grew up in a house right on K Street N.E near 3rd Street. My departed mother used to walk with my older sister and I to see the Ice Capades.❤1970s. Just mesmerized by the beautiful skating there and love watching it to this day. Mother always got us front--row seats. Fell in love with ice skating because of that. Aunt took me to see Roller Derby there too. Thank you for posting and sharing this with us all. Very informative and I appreciate it.🙂

Nixon put 1000s of protesters there in the 70s. We had a damn good time.

American apartheid. Freedom and justice for all are the biggest hypocrite lies ever told. They mean freedom to the white race only.

Thank you for sharing this! I learned about it from Michael Shapiro's newsletter (DC realtor specializing in MCM). My DC real estate fantasy would be to own one of these and have the budget to give it a period-appropriate gorgeous renovation.

First time I've seen this. Thanks for putting this together.

My first day at kindergarten! I still remember! Crummell Elementary Fall 1962.

My grandma spent a great deal of time here..She was born in 1919

Hello all, First of all i would like to thank you for the presentation. Yes! I,m deeply sadden by the elimination of DC STREET CARS. i went on a field trip to DC in 1960. It was amazing for me to see for the first time street cars outside of Boston ,mass. Further amazing me is that there was no overhead wire. Yet i witness small flashes coming from the undercarriage of those PCC cars.. Hence, the government should of stepped in and keeped a few of the conduit lines in revenue service in perpetuity. The main concern i have is that i have a process for years to improve electric mass transit😅 from the prespectivs of power distribuition. I would be drawing my skill set from my years as an electrician in automation machine building. I,ve been a licensed electrician since 1972. I am still currently employed as a night duty electrician for MBTA/KEOLIS commuter rail services at age 75. Yes, i would bring back the conduit and conduit plow. It would appear from the surface as it did in it,s heyday but i would automate it with respect to plow to overhead vice-versa and with semi automatic cleaning and maintaining without severe service disruptions. Once you get over that high Initial cost of installation, it would then economical to run the system. Don,t forget i,ll argue that buses on a dedicated ROW cost more to operate than a rail ROW. JUST LOOK AT FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION COMPARISONS STATS. also the manned plow pit would not exist. Change over could be done on the fly. My detailed idea is going through patent pending. I know it would work. BTW i visually look at the conduit like an industrial buss way between the two running rails. That is bus bars that conduct power. Made by a Square D electrical equipment manufacture. Miss Paula Walach-former industrial electrician, union member IBEW. I welcome feed back. Hence, there was never any research done by transit operators to implement improvements to the Conduit system of powering electric light rail. L

In a fact about history of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital as formerly federal psychiatric hospital in southeast area of Washington, DC, Dr. Robinson as the African American psychiatrist as the superintendent of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital founded the Mental Health Program for the Deaf on July 1963 following the New York State Hospital established the first mental health program for the deaf in New York City, New York in year of 1958 in our deaf history in Deaf Heritage. When I had learned about facts from Dr. Robinson having his chats with me, I met him on the hospital ground at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in early 1970’s. Then Dr. Robinson was the adjunct college professor who taught in Psychology classes at Gallaudet University in a fact.- History of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, DC is very interested.

I think the time is right now for it to open again as an Arena. People today want to come to legendary arenas again to see older acts.

Indeed, a historic landmark!

Sad that it was sold off ,same thing happened to the Forum in Los Angeles it's owned by a church last I heard

Well done. 👍🏿👍🏿

This was home for WWWF television broadcast up until their move to the Philadelphia Arena, and then Allentown and Hamburg, Pennsylvania

Add more diversity?

1983 The go-go

The Beach Boys also performed at the Washington Coliseum on April 24, 1965.

WE LIVED A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY FROM 3 STREET NE MY AUNT USE TO TAKE US THERE TO SEE THE ROLLER DERBY I ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD I WENT TO SEE THE BAND RARE EARTH BUT BECAUSE OF SOME RIOTING OF PEOPLE WANTING TO GET IN THE CONCERT WAS STOPPED BUT I HAD GREAT TIME THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I EVER BEEN INSIDE THE COLESUEM TODAY IT LOOKS FANTASTIC WHAT A HISTORY

Every one have RIGHT !!! THE BEATLES WAS THERE !!! Greetings to all from...CMDX !!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

I remember JCProductions having many GoGo’s there. Especially RE!!

Good video and info, however correlation doesn't equal causation. To say all things having to do with the racial wealth gap is centered on discriminatory practices is a massive oversimplification of the subject.

This is truly a memorable DC landmark. As a teen, I've attended several go-go and entertainment events here. So very cool to know that the Beatles played here as well.

This is a localized version of the stories told in Richard Rothstein's "The Color of Law." There is an identifiable cause and effect responsible for the racial wealth gap.

Are you listening to your narration. Parental involvement faltered during this period. Look at the level of sustained parental involvement in thriving communities. Failing parental involvement and parental investment translates into failing schools.

Wow nice piece.. I Agree with you with policing..

Lovely job. The home oozes peace and light and simplicity. Thank you for sharing.

Oscar maccio es mi tio

Congratulations Nancy for this well-deserved recognition!

Class of 05

I remember going there to see the Roller Games, Washington Cats

Wow

The fact that it was the location of the Beatles First full concert in America is enough to maintain this space even if not for entertaining per say, but as a landmark and space that is repurposed and utilized.

There's actually a Willard Hotel in Grafton West Virginia,look it up!

Class of 92" Showing my grand kids my Cardozo dear

I help to restore this building as well as 6 or 7 other buildings on the campus I believe they are still continuing the restoration to this day.

IAM STILL HERE. GEORGE TOWN.

I'm really enjoying this presentation. Just purchased Alciones book yesterday - thank you !

Great talk.

Petworth native here currently fighting to keep his house from foreclosure and if you need any testimony I’m all here for you. Watching this really hit hard. I guess the algorithm brought me here. Thank you for this. It’s so vindicating hearing it put this way and another reminder that this was a plan put in place.

fabulous!

Do you have a decent relationship with Pit?

Congratulations shalin
