Google Sightseeing is one of my all-time favorite blogs and I read it often. So it was a pleasure working with its principal authors, Alex and James Turnbull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I titled my guest post &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.googlesightseeing.com\/2010\/11\/oddities-in-washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oddities in Washington, DC<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you visiting here for the very first time following the link from that guest post, I offer my sincere welcome. For the regular readers of Twelve Mile Circle, you&#8217;ll find the content similar to what you&#8217;ve come to expect here although maybe in smaller snippets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had way too much material. A bunch of examples hit the cutting room floor as I squeezed the article to keep the word count reasonable. Originally I had three ideas for each of the headings but I reduced it to two. The slashing was pretty severe. I know you&#8217;re thirsting for the rest of the material so I&#8217;ll gladly present the content that didn&#8217;t make it into Google Sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We have Exclaves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d12423.279443025089!2d-77.06407977454955!3d38.88236307668279!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x89b7b6fde5564acb%3A0x938ed2555571b31d!2sColumbia%20Island!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1626091021920!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers along the George Washington Parkway between Interstate 395 and Interstate 66 get to clip a little corner of the District of Columbia. That happens because the city owns the Potomac River up to the opposing riverbank. Visitors will not see a sign or any evidence notifying them as they enter the District. Nor will they see anything when they leave it more than a mile further down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reason Cut<\/em>: It&#8217;s not really an exclave. It&#8217;s an interesting anomaly especially for Virginia drivers who are aware of the situation. However, technically, it&#8217;s also connected to the rest of the District by the Memorial Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We have Lines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/8871459260\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3690\/8871459260_917c7134e8_b.jpg\" alt=\"United States Capitol.

Rather, a visitor can stand beneath the dome and be in all four quadrants of the city (NE, SE, NW, SW) simultaneously!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reason Cut:<\/em> I was going to tie it in with the Original Capitol Columns entry. Ultimately I felt it strayed the furthest from the non-touristy angle I was taking. Yes, even if the oddity had less to do with the building and more to do with the invisible lines that run through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We have History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/8870974835\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3815\/8870974835_73d87856dc_b.jpg\" alt=\"Abindgdon Plantation Ruins.

Visitors will find Abingdon Plantation, ancestral home to the Custis family, at Arlington&#8217;s National Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reason Cut:<\/em> I could probably make a case that because Arlington and much of Alexandria in Virginia were once part of the original District of Columbia (prior to the 1847 retrocession), that they could fit within the subject matter of an article on Washington, DC oddities. I used that justification when I mentioned the boundary stones. There it seemed to work because they were tied directly to the District&#8217;s territorial formation and adjustment. But that&#8217;s not the case with other &#8220;former DC&#8221; locations so they were the first that I cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We have Conundrums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/methodist_church_and_gas_station.jpg\" alt=\"Church-Gas Station in Rosslyn, Virginia.

Some call this unusual combination Our Lady of the Gas Pump and others the Exxon United Methodist. I call it unique. Save your soul and fill your tank at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reason Cut:<\/em> Another &#8220;former DC&#8221; location now in Virginia.
