Fabulous Photo! We have our intrepids here for sure. When I was growing up here, my folks called Hains Point "The Speedway." I don't think anyone under the age of 50 even remembers that nickname anymore.
"...During the 18th and 19th centuries, Foggy Bottom became steamy and malarial each summer, hence its strange name. Now drained and mosquito-free, the area southwest of downtown along the Potomac River is home to the State Department, Kennedy Center, the Waterate complex and George Washington University..." Sorry, dear. No fog no more! :)
