Line 120:
* '''Anacostia''' D.C. is an amalgam of people from around the United States and sits on the dividing line between the North and South, which is still very bright for some residents who refuse to cross the Potomac River except to go to a ballgame. The further south and east you go, the more it resembles a Southern town, such as [[The Big Easy|New Orleans]]. The houses are small and working class, the neighborhoods mostly black.
South and east of Capitol Hill is the Anacostia river, hemmed in by levees and old industrial sidings. This marks the boundary with [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|the hard lands]], known to some people as "Simple City".<ref>(because the choice between life and death is very simple there)</ref> The [[Super Fun Happy Thing of Doom|Department of Homeland Security]] has cheerfully decided to build its national HQ in a [[Abandoned Hospital|converted mental hospital]] in Simple City, just south of Anacostia's [[Dissonant Serenity|surprisingly quaint]] main drag. This part of town is also the home of D.C.'s other native music, go-go.<ref>no, not ''[[
* '''Suburban Maryland''' Going north, into Maryland, it often resembles [[Joisey|New Jersey]], and is populated by staunchly liberal Yankees, such as the college professors, [[New Age Retro Hippie|hippies]], and multi-cultural immigrant neighborhoods in and around Takoma Park, Silver Spring, and Mount Rainier, Maryland. This is where you can find all the delis, antique stores, and curry shops. Riverdale, Maryland is Little Mexico.

{{examples|DC in Fiction}}
Due to DC's [[Fun Size|small size]], many of these works have DC as a base of operations and characters will frequently head into Maryland or Virginia in the course of their duties. This especially applies with military works as the bulk of major military and intelligence facilities, including the aforementioned Pentagon, are outside the District.
