My 6 March 2009 installment of Friday Night in Washington DC
I began the 6 March 2009 installment of Friday Night in Washington DC by first stopping in at the Caos of F's First Friday event. Click image for video.Featuring the mixed media work of Chul Park and photographer Troy Plair as well as the work of co-founding artists Michael Berman and furniture maker Matthew Falls, this second installment at the newly open gallery at the F St Arts Complex runs through Friday, 20 March 2009.
An exhbition you do not want to miss, the gallery is also open to the public every Friday and Saturday from 2-7 pm and by special appointment.
Hoping to get a view and a few Friday night shots/clips of the third annual DCist Exposed Photography Show before its Saturday 7 March closing, upon leaving Caos on F I rushed around the corner to the Gallery at Flashpoint on G Street between 9th and 10th Streets, NW.
While the gallery was crowded with folks in attendance of the Pumpgirl production at Mead Theater Lab, the DCist Exposed exhibition was not available for public viewing after 6 pm.
I then took the subway to Dupont Circle were, at the south exit at the 1350 Connecticut Avenue Complex I began my 6 March 2009 Friday Night in WDC video project by capturing musician Mark Francis Nickens in his performance of "Guardian Angel".
The 6 March 2009 Friday Night in Washington DC video project then proceeds to 17th Street in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, followed by walks along P and 14th Streets in the Logan Circle neighborhood and the U Street Corridor to 13th Street before taking a Capitol Pedicabs ride west on U Street and south on 18th Street to the Starbucks at Dupont Circle North.
Clips of my walk through Dupont Circle to the 1350 Connecticut Avenue Complex at 19th Street, NW, follow ... as the 6 March 2009 Friday Night /WDC video project comes to a close as I descend the escalator at the south entrance /exit to the WMATA Dupont Circle Station.
After returning from my Saturday afternoon, 7 March 2009 photowalk much of Saturday evening and night was spent mixing the GIVE ME TONIGHT compilation which serves as background music for the 6 March 2009 Friday Night in WDC video project.

The KenAnn Building at 3101 N. Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale
Since my first visit to Fort Lauderdale in January 2003, the Art-Deco looking building situated at the upper northeast boundary of Wilton Manors at the corner of US 1 and Oakland Park Boulevard has more than fascinated me.When during recent trips to Fort Lauderdale that I have inquired of the name and history of the building, from the locals, no one was able to furnish much information. With the exception of a receptionist in the leasing office on the 5th floor who, a few days ago, suggested that I may should do some research on the Kenann Building.
When in recent previous weeks that I have googled "3101 N. Federal Highway - Fort Lauderdale FL" which is the building's address most of what I found was information associated with the tenants of the building. But nothing regarding it's history.
Howver, but, when back in DC last night that I googled "architect of 3101 N. Federal Highway - Fort Lauderdale" I found this Broward - Palm Beach New Times Best Landmark of 2008 article pertaining to the Kenann Building.
Designed in 1962 for Ken and Ann Burnstine, by Architect F. Louis Wolff who Wikipedia currently references with the architectural firm Wolff DeCamillo Associates Architects Planners, Inc, the KenAnn Building was remodeled by Architect Dan Duckham in 1992.
In A Note from Radio Ink's B. Eric Rhoads blog posting dated 28 April 2008 regarding his String Of Magical Experiences he writes:
I loaded up my VW bug and drove to Fort Lauderdale and was on hand for the launch of Cecil Heftel's Y100 in Miami-Fort Lauderdale. I was part of the original air staff, along with Roby Younge from WABC, John Emm, Larry McKay, Steve O'Brien, Don Cox, Bill Steadman, and Davy O'Donnel. Roby was fired after one day. Dick Casper was the general manager. We were in that round building on US1 and Oakland Park Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, called the KenAnn building (yes, the builders were Ken and Ann). We were only the second station in America to use a letter as our name -- 13Q was the first, and I'm told Y100 was the second.
In the history of WHYI-FM, better known as Y-100, Wikipedia reports the following:
From 1962 to 1973, it was known as a beautiful music station with the call letters of WMJR. During the latter portion of 1966, the station's studios (located in the Kenann building, a round building on the corner of US1 and Oakland Park Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, FL), tower, and signal coverage were greatly upgraded from 56,000 watts to 100,000 watts by engineering guru and entrepreneur Ron Crider ...
And here is an interesting article regarding alleged drug smuggler Kenneth Burnstine.
