Lincoln Theater, U Street, where I ushered in 1969 (which is why I never made it to Woodstock). The film showing is "The Lost Man" with Sidney Poitier and Al Freeman, Jr. which I ended up seeing 125 times in the course of my job. Photo

Stumbled across the blog by accident -- love the photos!
The "unknown muscle car" next to the Charger is a Mercury Cougar, probably an XR7, and most likely a 67-69 version.
A neighbor across the street had a light blue one -- the hideaway headlights and sequential taillight turn signals were about the coolest things I'd seen on a car at the time.
Thanks, a.charles. I appreciate the info so I can change the caption. I remember the Cougar XR7 now that you mention it.
Hi Dr. F,
I am the marketing coordinator at the Lincoln Theatre. I LOVE your pictures and want to getting in contact with you regarding possibly using some of your photos for a publication we are putting together. If you could email me as soon as possible, I would greatly appreciate it!
Best,
Glory

Thanks, anonymous. I'll send you an email so we can talk. Thanks for the email address. I was an usher in the Lincoln theater back in the Summer of '69. Lotta memories.
I too stumbled upon your blog and love these photos! I was born in 1969 so it's really cool to get a glimpse into life that year!
