This week for Georgetown Time Machine, I’m moving further through the 30 year old photos I have of Georgetown. Today we see some familiar names and sights.
The block is 1300 block of Wisconsin, just above the Georgetown Inn. The first shop of the left is Towne Liquors. It…pretty much looked exactly the same until it moved up the block last year. Now sadly there’s a vape shop there.
Next up the block was a sports clothing store. There is no signage, but it appears that it basically sold the same type of gear that you can still buy at this location from GT Players. So I’m guessing either this was GT Players or an earlier iteration of the same.
Finally on the right we see Coffee, Tea & Spice. This store sold a wide variety of coffees and teas on Wisconsin Ave. from at least the 1970s. It appears to have shut down in the mid 90s. It should not be mistaken (as I briefly did) with Just Paper and Tea, which is right around the corner on P St. That shop opened in 1989.
