Beyond its dive bars, renovated rowhouses, and liquor stores, Ward 1 has long occupied a distinguished place in D.C.’s punk-rock history. Few people know more about that history than Mark Andersen, who with Mark Jenkins wrote the book about it: Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation’s Capital. Andersen, also the co-founder of activist group Positive Force D.C., leads occasional free tours of D.C.’s most prominent punk-rock landmarks. He hasn’t firmed up a date for his next tour, but anyone interested in, say, Irving Street NW’s past as a Riot Grrrl stronghold should contact Andersen at wearefamilydc@gmail.com to find out the date of the next one. He’ll even soundtrack the walk.
