Georgetown: A Tour of Washington DC's Hippest Neighborhood
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Georgetown is known for its cobblestone streets, historic brick and frame row houses, and grand estates dating back as early as the mid-1700s. The neighborhood is also home to Georgetown University. Founded in 1751 in the Province of Maryland, the port of Georgetown predated the establishment of the federal district and the City of Washington by 40 years. Incorporated into the District of Columbia, Georgetown remained a separate municipality until 1871 when the United States Congress created a new consolidated government for the whole District.

I used to come to Georgetown every weekend back in the 80's and happy to see the city is still clean with no homeless like in NY, SF, LA. Thanks for great video.
☠️
Police make them move during the day
Um, when did YOU go? They're most certainly there. One of the saddest homeless people I ever saw was in Georgetown, this pretty but road hard blonde 20/30something young woman who obviously was a meth/fentanyl addict used to quietly hang out on Wisconsin Avenue. She was super nice and polite and seemed like the last type of person you'd ever see on the streets, like maybe she had a good (or at least good enough) home growing up and maybe had something in life before the drugs. Haven't seen her lately and always wondered what her story was.
Lots of homeless there.
Add San Diego now to your list
Georgetown is beautiful and so much history. Thank you for sharing.
Love DC. We explored the National Mall area and its great museums, but will do Georgetown as well in the future! We also took a water taxi across to Old Town Alexandria, Viriginia - gorgeous!
I used to drive down Foxhall Rd. to Georgetown from my college dorm room, back in 90’s. I would get Philadelphia style sandwiches at midnight in those exam weeks. Thank you for the video, I miss DC.
Loved seeing those old brick buildings, beautiful place. Thanks for sharing
King street , Alexandria and Georgetown were my go-to spots when I moved to the DMV.
You obviously enjoy cramped congestion.
Georgetown looks like a nice area. I will have to check it out the next time I get over to the DC area as I haven't really seen anything in DC beyond the National Mall yet.
Georgetown is such s fabulous area! I’ve only been there once and it was so dang cold! I’d love to go back this time of year! Great tour!
Thanks Swifty!
I am grateful for the people in Washington DC for keeping the virtues of america high recently. I am grateful for them because they are preserving bookstores, and opening new ones, and in the process unplugging people from dependence on the system and encouraging only voluntary usage not dependence, regarding overuse as bad as drug addiction, it is only true freedom if we know that we are able to spend one half of a month within the system and another out, the gateways are preserved by america's dedication to the people's freedom and equality of states (this includes states of consciousness).
Washington DC is glowing with the fruits of fresh freedom and free thought and life lately, it's roots are deep and the new branches on its trees are truly natural not the artificial edifices of egocentric architects. Lately writing and philosophizing is the trend in America's capital, eastern taoism in written form has a special niche of demand and audience, reaching new levels of understanding and influencing in some ways the way of life, encouraging a bustling capital not to rush itself, gain wisdom from slowness and stillness and appreciate the peaks of trees and blossoms of the valleys and forests that neighbor and even enter DC (rock creek park is an amazing natural forest).
I am grateful that the written word is being celebrated and set free in Washington because the written word is the seed of all universes and possibilities. Let the people publish true quality and true heart, and sincerity, let them publish on pages of hemp paper that increase the life of forests worldwide not diminish them, let them publish the insights that free us forever.
LOVINGKINDNESS
may everyone in washington DC
get the full taste of the american experience
and restored freedom with justice
may everyone in washington DC
see a beauty theyve never seen before within themselves and others
incarnate with buddha and without ignorance and waste
leave washington dc as clean or cleaner than it was when they came
lovingkindness, may there be new synergies all over the world with environmentalist results
lovingkindness may everyone in washington dc
be able to take that wisdom
and seed home with them
and improve their home no matter how far away it be
Great walk through Chris! My best friend went to Georgetown for school so I visited him once and thought the area was great!
We had Curry&Pie there and it was phenomenal
Thanks Gumer!
I saw Linda Ronstadt & the Stone Ponys at the Cellar Door back in the 70s on M st.
That is Theodore Roosevelt Island you pointed out.
We went there for the first time in May. We enjoyed a half day stroll. Started with lunch in a basement restaurant called The Tombs, then Baked & Wired for cupcakes, the Exorcist steps, the waterfront. We also walked past the Ukrainian embassy. Completed it with a $1 ride back on the Circulator Bus.
I miss the WSC and the mall
I miss the mall too!
Georgetown is many things, I don't think it's been "hip" in generations. 😂
Aw man, I was hoping you would show the exorcist stairs lol.
Chris, you were so so close to famous movie site. If you walk maybe 50 feet past the Key Bridge road you will see the famous staircase from the end of the Exorcist movie.
So another 50 more feet pass that green guard rail where that writing on wall is the steps and part of house from the movie?

Such a cute little town!
You should do a video on St Elmo’s fire filming locations please 🙏
👏🤩 TY Chris!
Great video.. like the area
Thanks ejay!
I live in DC, and I wish Georgetown can be turned into a no-car zone.
Yeah. That'd be really awesome
Where would you divert all the people who work there or DC from VA and MD
Dude, i live in a town near Rome, a town built in the midlle ages whose streets were never meant for cars, and when our mayor proposed to ban cars in the historic centre (the medieval part) it almost caused a popular uprising. People love their cars.
Damn Chris was in DC again?!
Or Chris posted a video that he recorded a couple of months ago 😀
You should have done a street or two of the old townhouses which are beautiful and more relaxing than donut shops. You missed the Exorcist stairway although you were so close. Also, the front of Georgetown University and Healy Tower, maybe George Washington Old Main steps in the courtyard would have been worth a couple of minutes. But thanks!
Upscale, yes. Hippest?! Nope.
Georgetown isn’t DC’s hippest neighborhood anymore. I would say that is Shaw Logan or Union Market. Georgetown is more like the Upper East Side in NYC which no one would say is the hippest part of NYC.
You just showed what I feel is the ugliest part of Georgetown, namely busy M Street. It is actually very atypical for Georgetown. The real beauty lies in the residential areas off this noisy traffic arteria. All quaint and with hardly any traffic, but beautiful, British-looking, mostly Colonial buildings (and also a few very small grocery stores). You can stroll along these historical site for hours!
I'll get the pretty parts next time 😀
Should have mentioned the liquor store!
Haha. I thought you were going to talk about Georgetown in Penang Malaysia.
fydac?
Whitey G Town Tour.
Georgetown lost some of its charm due to a lot of unique shops being replaced with generic chains
I will come there after 2 month to watch T20 World Cup 2024
Georgetown is overrated. Nothing but stores and restaurants. Horrendous traffic with no parking. Don't understand why this is such a draw for tourists.
Georgetown used to be the shit in the late 80’s and 90’s, but now that the rest of the city has been developed, Georgetown is boring
Who needs parking when you can just walk places? Public transportation isn't too bad in Georgetown.
I know that within two miles of the White House, WA D.C. is the ghetto. Are there many homeless around there in Georgetown? I haven't been there in years because of corporate biz.
Its true. You can be on a street with million dollar homes then turn the corner & be in the hood. Part of that is gentrification though. Georgetown is one of my favorite parts of DC but yes, homelessness is an issue. Thats a big city issue across the country.
Hippiest or goofiest?
Fake soho played out racists
I liked The vídeo, but, support Ukraine is bad.
Not a single rainbow flag on that entire walk, my family keeps trying to get me to move back home. I am not sold. I miss Martins tavern though.
