Am I the only one that thought DC grid was easy to figure out? Numbered streets ran north to south, lettered ones run east to west. When they throw the circles and other streets in there, things got crazy
It's the quadrant part that freaks non-residents out. I was giving the directions to RFK, and everyone else in the car was telling the driver I was crazy - "M Street couldn't possibly go that way!" Were they surprised to see that it does! Because of the naysayers, we arrived with 20 minutes left in the game.

And THANK YOU, they need to put a Metro station in Georgetown. Because the buses from Rosslyn and Foggy Bottom are NUTS. If they can have one in chi-chi Friendship Heights (is that still a tony area?) then they can put one in G-town.

Thank you! I can rant about the same thing at airports, especially when you are running to try to catch a flight and employees are chilling and chatting on the moving walkway. I had to get rude with someone in Phoenix
Absolutely on both counts! Well, other than the fact that I've not been to Phoenix...
