This was in '67. I am not sure where that would have been. I thought it was all single family south west of Oxon Hill Rd and National Harbor was still woods and marsh land. We used to hunt there. That whole area down there was largely undeveloped. I did have friends who lived in apartments on Overlook but that was up the hill from Bolling and NRL in DC. (Red brick buildings built in the 40s) Was it really more like Indian Head Highway? Dunno we are talking about 50 years ago. A bit east of Indian Head Highway, now that I look at a map. This was in a good sized apartment building. She lived there and I had to stay in the barracks. We did get two weekends home during the six months of OCS though, and we were allowed an hour of visitation in the dayroom every Wednesday evening. Public dayroom, ergo no hanky panky. Riverside Plaza? (Oxon Hill Rd a block east of Livingston?) I lived there a while before I moved to Dennis Grove in 1969. Riverside was set apart in those days by having one paneled wall in the living room and a more sedate residency. Dennis Grove was full of younger people with bigger apartments (2 br/2 bath), perfect for "roomies". I don't know the name of the place. Hell, I was only there to move her in, a couple weekends, and moving her out. And, during the times I was there, I was not interested in the local geography or apartment buildings! In the 50s and 60s there were not that many apartments in Oxon Hill. That is why I asked. It really went nuts after they finished the beltway and housing patterns started to shift. Before that Oxon Hill was just a few quiet little bedroom communities backed up to farm land. If you didn't go to work down South Capitol street, you probably went to Andrews although that seemed pretty far away at the time. The real divide was Oxon Hill Road. South of that was country and north of it was more like SE DC. |
