The End Of A Landmark

Dixie Liquor wasn't the best liqour store in DC, it wasn't the nicest, the best stocked or much of anything else. But it was strategically placed, right there as Key Bridge emptied all of us Northern Virginians into Gtown and its 18 year old drinking age. On a Friday night you could see a solid phalanx of high schooler cars making a beeline across the Potomac right into Dixie's microscopic parking lot.
It was also the first thing you saw in Gtown when crossing the river, a portal sign to Cafe de Paris, Clydes, Winstons, Crazy Horse, the Bayou, Pall Malls, the Cellar Door, Gunchers and another dozen bars and clubs lost in the haze and the fog of time and alcohol.
I'd also note that it was located at the bottom of the infamous Exorcist Steps, (as seen in the movie). Still forbidding. And Dixie was there, cashing in with their Exorcist Boubon, (I think I still have that bottle somewhere or another).
At any rate, it's gone. And I know that it was never particularly important, but it was one of the last bits of a Georgetown that no longer exists...
