GO-GO store story
This page brings together the GO-GO side of Central Communications: the CDs, the public articles, the app, the community response, and the living memory tied to the store.
Central Communications became important to many people because the store did more than sell phones. It also played the sound of Washington, DC and helped people feel connected to the city’s culture.
That is why the corner stayed in people’s memory. The music, the speakers, and the people who gathered around the store made the place feel alive.
The GO-GO side of the story remains closely tied to Donald Campbell and the store’s public identity.
