164. PASSAGES. Georgetown, Washington DC. A historic neighborhood that predates the formation of DC. It reminds me of Charleston SC, but any place with a whiff of Confederate architecture reminds me of Charleston. Washington is on the dividing line between the Northeast and the Confederate South–two cultures that are polar opposites. With its restless political energy, with Baltimore and Chesapeake Bay just down the road, Washington is a city full of beautiful contradictions.
