Introduction

Georgetown, Washington DC

A Preview

"You're in Georgetown. Which means you're standing in a neighborhood that is older than the country it belongs to. Georgetown was a tobacco port forty years before anyone decided to put a capital city here. George Washington drank in its taverns, planned the entire federal district from a bar stool, and then tried to build a canal that bankrupted everyone involved."
