From Library Journal:
This travel guide, written by two longtime residents of the nation's capital, also serves as a popular history of the area. Each easy-to-read description provides an informative piece of the area's history. The authors' accounts of street and mall lore add interesting diversions. The highly entertaining guide is not made up of dry, dull facts, but of colorful items like the "House of the Body-Snatchers" on New Jersey Avenue or "Temperance Fountain" at Pennsylvania Avenue and 7th Street. This is a wonderful source of historical information for the browser as well as a traveler's goldmine. Recommended.
