Love alleys? Here's one behind the WRECO bus garage on Georgia & V NW. The bldg faces Howard U Hospital, once Griffith Stadium, where the Washington Senators refused "non-whites" til '54, and where the Washington Redskins bucked to be the last team in the NFL to refuse a black athlete... til President Kennedy threatened to bar them from a new stadium (RFK) in '61-62. Now WRECO is a protected-albeit empty-historic DC landmark. by thatpma
