From Wikipedia:

“The HFStival was an annual Washington, D.C. / Baltimore rock festival. Held every summer from 1990 through 2006 by radio station WHFS, and held again in 2010 and 2011 in commemoration of the now-defunct station’s legacy, the HFStival was at its peak the largest yearly music festival on the East Coast, drawing 55,000 to 90,000 people. It was held at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C. from 1993 to 2004, after which the station moved it to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.”

STAY TUNED.

Every single one of the bus shelters at the Ga. Ave/Petworth station (at least on the southbound side) had some or all of the glass busted out. :( Crews were already on the scene, though. Pic from this am during my commute.”
