I finally am getting around to posting my Washington D.C. photos.  I took these shots over the memorial day weekend. 

 

This is the first of three posts

 

These buildings are on the Edge of Georgetown closest to Washington Circle:

Now for the real Georgetown.  Here's the main drag M Street:

Its almost impossible to limit the amount of pictures I took.  There were just spectacular buildings everywhere I looked!

This is a really cool reuse.  The community is like a separate entity from the rest of the neighborhood..

You know a neighborhood is thriving when it has an urban mall like this..

As I went further east and closer to Adams Morgan the houses began to get massive.  I can't even imagine how much these cost.

Awesome stuff, love that neighborhood!

Great photos!  Wish I could live there.

Oozing with old-school charm!

DC is amazing.

Wonderful.

It's like Victorian Village on steroids... love it!

A bit of transit trivia about the street with the streetcar tracks and center slot; while it may look like a cable-car track configuration, it isn't. Overhead wires, including streetcar catenary, were prohibited in Washington, D.C. Streetcars picked up power through a special shoe that went through the center slot to a wire or bar that ran beneath the street.

Good stuff I had no idea.  That would explain the slit in the middle of the track
