DC Blogs Noted
Where ya been lately? There’s a new blog in town … and it features two of my favorite things. District Curmudgeon. Welcome.
Paper-mache world reminds us what matters. When you have the opportunity…
Vox Populi has brackets. Oh, they have brackets. And guess what? Not even every Vox Populi friend, alum, and celeb is pulling for G-town. I think I even saw some orange in there. Enough to warm this Cuse fan’s heart! Vox’s NCAA bracket pool, ft. Chuck Hagel, Jenny Sanford, and Mike Birbiglia.
Price of Petworth says they had him at kegerator, but there’s other stuff, too, at the Warehouse “Free For All,” Starts Friday at 5pm
Larry Rosen’s blog takes us through the riots at the Washington DC drug stores of the ’50s and ’60s. Fascinating history we should all remember and the whole blog is worth reading. After Riot Problems.
Two personal notes if DCBlogs will indulge me:
To Georgetown: nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goooodbye. love, your pal, cuse e. cuse
And to “Some guy named me,” the love of my life: happy birthday and thank you, for everything, from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for your comment. This coming April 4, 2010 will be the 42d anniversary of Doctor King’s sudden assassination that triggered the DC 68 riot.
I enjoyed operating Smith Pharmacy from 1959 to 1968,and still miss it-
The Post on my brother Phil’s store should be interesting.Many people, I’m sure remember Joe Louis, the world’s heavy weight champion,and can be viewed on this Post,when he visited my brother’s liquor store,Dox Liquor,(He was a pharmacist,and all pharmacists were addressed as Doc).Joe Louis was promoting a brand of liquor with his name on the bottle. Also the history of Doc Curtis Robinson, a pharmacist who was a Tuskeege airman should be of interest.
Thanks again
Larry Rosen
