20 Maps Of Washington, D.C. They Never Showed You In School

1. Washington, D.C. is home to the Super Mario Metro!

2. But living near a good metro line can burn a hole in your pocket. (red = high cost)

3. Luckily, you can choose to walk everywhere. (Green gives walking a “Go”)

4. Or ride a bike… (green = bike lanes, red = bike trails)

5. Because we are a biking kind of city.

6. Maybe it’s time to get our politicians to hustle and introduce them to the jogging paths.

7. There are so many expensive neighborhoods to run through.

8. And our wealth is concentrated in just a few neighborhoods.

9. Washington, D.C. neighborhoods aren’t without their stereotypes

10. Some neighborhoods are outright crazy.

11. We have neighborhoods with their share of crime.

12. Especially homicide-red marks the spot. (Hey, odds are still low, calm down.)

13. But don’t underestimate the importance of a neighborhood that receives food delivery.

14. Ugh… but be sure to choose a neighborhood without those pesky traffic cameras. (Seriously, thank you Aaron Weiner for creating this map!)

15. Hipsters flock to H Street because it starts with “H”. (Because… Hipsters, duh.)

16. And if you want romance, find a spot overlooking the Potomac River.

17. Any city with a concentration of bacon is okay with me.

18. And here is where you should go for Satanic worship. (Yeah, our city builders had a master plan–wink, wink.)

19. We are a divided city over iPhone vs. Android. (red = iPhone, green = Android)

20. And interestingly, ethnic background seems play a role in our phone choice. Only in Washington! (red = white residents, blue = black residents)
