DuPont Underground

Another bucket list item checked off the list - DuPont Underground.

DuPont Underground info taken from here. "The DuPont Underground comprises 15,000 sq.ft. of repurposed infrastructural space less than a mile from the White House. It lies beneath the city’s iconic DuPont Circle, a nexus of Washington’s cultural, civic, and commercial life. There is no other space like it in the District. ​

Opened in 1949 as a trolley station, 15,000 sq.ft. of underground platforms and tunnels were closed off in 1962, when the city’s streetcar system shut down. Other than designation as fallout shelter in the late 1960s and hosting a short-lived food court on the west platform in the mid-1990s, the space has remained empty."
 

As I mentioned in a previous post, Stephanie and I have a bucket list of items we want to do in DC. Our first was the Blind Whino and our second was DuPont Underground. Most of the events at DuPont Underground are out of my budget, but Stephanie found this event for only $10 :) The catch - it was at 10pm at night. I'm old. But I need to be more adventurous so I said I would go and I am so glad that a I did! It was such a unique experience. Only in DC would you attend a party in an abandoned street car tunnel with graffiti on the walls.  

New and old fiends.

The event was a mashup of a DJ and the Washington Chorus. It was so much fun!!! I wish the Washington Chorus would have preformed more, but what they did preform was beautiful!

Loving this DC Bucket List adventure!
