Washington, DC's *wonderful* Northwest neighborhoods (102 photos)
 
I was in Washington, DC this week for just under 58 hours. Fortunately I had the afternoon free on Wednesday to get out & see for myself what makes Northwest DC such a vibrant & pleasant place to live & play. While I was in DC, I actually stayed with a friend who lives just 2 blocks from Dupont Circle (on Massachusetts Avenue). The photo tour starts out in & around Dupont Circle, then proceeds up 18th St NW through Adams Morgan, then westward across the Calvert Street bridge into Woodley Park, then up Connecticut Avenue to Cleveland Park. From that point, I took the Metro up to Friendship Heights/Chevy Chase, MD before returning to Dupont Circle. From there, I headed east along P St NW to Logan Circle, then turned southwest down Rhode Island Ave to Scott Circle, and finally wrapped things up by heading northwest along Massachusetts Avenue back to my friend's apartment. I most definitely liked all of the areas I visited, but for me none of the neighborhoods quite measured up to Dupont Circle. It's basically just about anything & everything I could want in an urban neighborhood. Loved it, loved it, loved it. :yes: So anyway, here are my photos. :)

I've said it before, but DC has to be the pound-for-pound, most architecturally significant metro out there.

Sekkle May 16, 2009 5:37 AM

great job!

I love this...

L41A May 16, 2009 5:47 AM

Good job. Your photos show why I like DC.

Jibba May 16, 2009 6:42 AM

Nice hood. Looks a lot like Lincoln Park, but with more rows. Thanks for the shots.

marcus May 16, 2009 12:05 PM

Best part of the city. Awesome job

ItsConanOBrien May 16, 2009 2:31 PM

Clevelumbus May 17, 2009 8:49 PM

Fantastic shots of the District!

Nice pictures. That fountain in DuPont Circle is nice. Some trivia: did you know that the original statue in DuPont Circle, of Admiral Samuel DuPont (which gave the circle its name), is now located in Wilmington? I thought of that when I saw the inscription on the fountain's base about the originaly statue.

I was born in DC but grew up in the Maryland suburbs and at one time lived in Adam's Morgan back in the early 90's (I now live in NYC). Wow....these pics bring back alot of memories... These neighborhoods seem small now but in a nice and "clean" way! There's no doubt that I think NW DC is where anyone thinking of living in DC should consider first. It's city enough to offer almost everything (without the need of a car) but also small enough not to overwhelm you like larger citites like NYC or LA!:cheers:

VivaLFuego May 18, 2009 5:17 AM

Many varieties of awesome.

Swinefeld May 18, 2009 1:38 PM

Delightful.

ColDayMan May 18, 2009 3:01 PM

Still my favorite city in this country.

Buckeye Native 001 May 18, 2009 5:12 PM

Holy christ, what a town :tup:
