My recollection is that 17th & G is an area of mostly federal office
buildings these days.
G street dead ends into EOB on the east and is commercial going west.
AAA was on the SW corner. There was a parking lot and then our school.
The rest of the block was the YMCA. We were in the original YMCA
building before they built the 2 new ones. The Pa ave side block was a
collection of multi story offices with small businesses on the street
level.

Is this New Haven, CT? If so, that original YMCA must have been the
one that I took lessons and got SCUBA certified in 1966.
It was through a club called, "The Yankee Paddlers". Course was given
by ex-Navy divers, (renamed Navy Seals in 1961).
No, Washington, D.C. The 'Y' in New Haven was on Chapel and Howe, I
think. Used to go there many Saturdays with a couple of buddies in the
winter to use the gym, play pickup b'ball, and go swimming. It was a two
block walk from the bus stop. The Y was down the street from Hulls
Hobbies, another great place to hang out.
Bull****, you said your mother made you stay in your room and take
practice tests, and you also claimed that she didn't let you do anything
that could get you hurt.
