Oh Man Check Out Union Market in 1984/85 from the classic Spies Like Us opening credits

By Prince Of Petworth

hahaha Oh My God this is great. Over the weekend I noted that, man, if you haven’t been around the Union Market/Near North East area in a bit, it’s tough to wrap your head around it. I suppose that sentiment could apply to many areas in D.C. but the contrasts are especially vivid here. Tim replied with the following youtube clip which is blowing my mind. For those not familiar with Spies Like Us – 1. it is awesome and 2. it was released in 1985.
