Coral
Hills (1956 - 1965)
|

Front
of the building as it appears today.
When Metrobus tookover the facility from the
WM&A Bus Line in 1973, it was cleaned up quite
a bit.
|
|

Close
up of the front doors.
The one to the right led upstairs to the studios.
|
|

For
a building now over 60 years old,
it's in remarkably good shape.
|
|

Side
of the building. Metrobus still uses the facility
as a bus repair depot. The studios were located on the second
floor where the windows Harv refers to are.
Harv
Moore, 'the boy next door' writes:
Our studios were in SE Washington in the WMA bus terminal...in
the spring they would paint the buses (orange and black),
and the paint fumes would drift in the windows of our studios.
Listen
to Harv Moore & a listener from WXTR talk about it.

Bladensburg
(Late
1965 - 1980)
|

The
Parkway Building was located near the intersection of Annapolis
Road & the Baltimore Washington Parkway.
|
|

The
sad state of the building in 2002. By the mid 80's, the inside
had been gutted in an apparent renovation which was never
completed. The driveway leading up the hill to the rear of
the building was on the left.
|
|

Close
up of the main entrance. The elevator to the upper levels
was along the back wall, directly in a straight line from
the front door above.
|
|

The
back of the building wasn't in much better condition. Because
it was built into the side of a hill, you would enter from
the back door at a floor higher than that as accessed from
the front. The driveway going down the hill to the front of
the building was located on the right, paralleling Annapolis
Road.
|
|

The
building was demolished in the Spring of 2004.
|
|

Close
up of what had been the front entrance of the building.
|
|

The
concrete barrier is in the same spot as above in 2002.
|
|

Is
that an old tape cartridge in the rubble?!
|
|

View
from top of the hill behind the now gone building.
|
|

The
barren property the way it looked prior to construction.
|
|

Wonder
if the neighbors knew who had been next door?
|
|

The
second building in the rear is also gone now.
|
Thanks
to Skip McCloskey of the WRC
tribute site (who as a teenager won too many contests to mention
from WPGC and picked up his prizes in the Parkway Building!)
for the demolition photos above.

Greenbelt
(Oct. 1980 - Summer 2000)
|

Main
entrance. This was the first of several identical buildings
to be constructed in the early '80's. All are still in use
today.
|
|

Front
of the building as seen from the parking lot. The station
moved to Lanham in the Summer of 2000.
The space once occupied by the station is now used by a legal
firm.
|
|

Side
of building facing the Beltway. The studios were on the top
(8th) floor. From left to right, they included: Business Offices,
Production Studio #3, Production Studio #2, the News / Production
Studio, the On Air Studio, the Jock Lounge, Engineering &
Engineering Offices.
