Line 89:
* The Maine Avenue Fish Market. America's oldest fish market, since 1790. Busy at night.
* Dutch Country Farmers Market in Maryland. Run by the Amish.
* The Mormon Temple in Kensington, MD. Easily visible from the Beltway, its bright-white towers and golden spires bring to mind the Emerald City from ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]''; indeed, a nearby railway bridge had {{small-caps|"SURRENDER, DOROTHY"}} painted on it for many years, [[Childhood Memory Demolition Team|until it was removed]]. (One prankster changed the graffito to "Surrender Donald" during [[Donald Trump]]'s term as the US President. That was removed, too.)
* Walter Reed Annex. [[Circus of Fear|an abandoned resort]] full of wacky pagodas, castles and windmills. Former [[Abandoned Hospital|psych wing]].
* The Awakening. Statue of a gigantic, and very angry man buried in the earth. Lived for many years at the very tip of West Potomac Park; has since been relocated to the National Harbor development in Oxon Hill, MD.
