SE DC has been a jungle for a long time. (I lived in Loudoun for many years)
True enough. I lived in various parts of Fairfax from 1987-89. A year or two later I came back up to visit friends and we went clubbing in Georgetown. After the clubs closed, for some reason, our driver (who was probably slightly schnockered, but it was his car) decided that we were going to return from Georgetown to Sterling via the scenic route...through downtown, by the Capitol, by RFK Stadium, down Pennsylvania Avenue SE out into Maryland, all the way to the Beltway, and then around to Route 267. NOT the place you want to be at zero-dark-thirty in the morning.
