Down on the banks of the Potomac River in DC’s Georgetown neighbourhood. The river divides the District of Columbia from Virginia… so across the river is a different state. Some of the DC landmarks along the river include the Lincoln Center and Georgetown University. The river has been in songs, poems… and the “old Potomac two-step” is just one of the many phrases used to describe the “dance” of political dealings in Washington.
Not to quibble, but I should let you know that the entire river in these parts is situated within the District of Columbia. Virginia begins at the opposite shore. It’s a quirk of the royal charter that established the Province of Maryland, which defined its southern boundary as the southern shore of the river.
Cool, I wasn’t sure exactly where the cut off was! Thanks for the info.
