Local bars are a common site in any town, especially one with a University nearby, and Fairfax is no exception. The restaurant and bar T.T. Reynolds was a popular meeting place for students, professors, and locals to congregate and imbibe for years in downtown Fairfax. Broadside photographer Myrna Garza captured T.T. Reynolds in all of its 1970s glory during December of 1977. It remained a fixture in Fairfax until July of 2008 when it closed. Today it has relocated to the D.C. neighborhood of Petworth and has fittingly changed it’s name to D.C. Reynolds.
These images are found in the newly acquired Broadside photograph collection. This collection comes to us from the Student Media Office and includes contact sheets and negatives for photographs taken by Broadside staff from 1973 to 2001. This collection is currently being processed. As shown below subject matter includes all kinds of student interests including local watering holes, pills, and Student Government Senate meetings.
