Living in Georgetown DC | DC’s High-Profile Neighborhood

What neighborhood recently discovered the remains of 28 slaves underground, is home to a University that only stayed solvent due to the sale of 272 slaves to Louisiana, and has reinvented itself more times than Madonna? GEORGETOWN! We are also going to talk to you about the biggest tourist trap in the city that’s here in Georgetown and what you should do instead.

A few years ago, even last year, this would have been a different video. Georgetown started out as the original port of the nation’s capital. It became its own municipality. Then turned into Ground Zero for the preppy kids at the same time a huge portion of the punk movements was happening here as well. If you are thinking, “How could punks and preps co-exist?” Well, they really couldn’t. In the 1970’s and 80’s, Georgetown was known as the best place for indie stores. In the late 90’s, many of those stores were taken over by large chains. Then about ten years ago, many of those large chains moved over to 14th Street. Lots of storefronts were boarded up. During the pandemic and riots, it was evident how dire the situation in Georgetown had become.

But now, Georgetown is BACK. It’s BACK BABY! It’s so heartwarming to see. The restaurants have lines, the sidewalks are packed. It’s awesome. I keep adding to the list of places I want to visit and restaurants where I want to eat in Georgetown.
