Washington, D.C., illustrates the unique blend of a small Southern town and an international city. As the nation's capital, it puts on its best face to represent the country with manicured lawns and well-tended parks around its many monuments and memorials. The vibrant population that fills the think tanks, political offices and embassies -- movers and shakers who pass through from around the country and around the globe -- give this city a wealth of global and intellectual culture unusual for a city of its size.
