“Dear PoPville,

I found these sweet photos of DC from the 1980’s and 1990’s, by a photographer Michael Horsley.

On PoPville, we tend to focus on the here and now and how much things have changed since 2000, but to me it’s amazing how far things have come since the 80’s. The people that were here way back then are really the ones that laid the groundwork for the wonderful city we have today.”

Ed. Note: We’ve been admiring this photo set since 2010. Always amazing/awesome to revisit them year after year.
