Honestly the most impactful part of my trip to DC as a kid was getting to take the metro everywhere. It was my first time using public transit and, from a tourist perspective at least, it’s actually good. Also the brutalist architecture is amazing.
I’ve had to work in some of those buildings, not great. The neoclassical buildings are a lot more people friendly. Some of those brutalist buildings have no interior windows, just endless back-rooms style halls and cube farms.

Brutalism is cool to visit but shitty to live in.
Ugh, the brutalist tunnels brought my depression from a 10 to 100
DC Metro is one of the best subway systems in the US. It actually goes to suburbs too which is really awesome.
