Something about how the city's original streetcar system influenced its development could be interesting. For example, many of the city's busiest bus routes today follow old streetcar lines (superimposing new maps over old ones to illustrate the influence could be interesting?) But maybe I'm just biased bc neighborhoods like mine owe their very existence to the OG streetcars!

It's fascinating to me that the England vs Spain rivalry lead to this. they took their battle to another continent entirely. England took the north and spain took the south. And you can see from linguistic influence in the continent. the north is English speaking, and the south american countries are Spanish mostly and some Portugese.

My favorite is actually what happens when the street names run out after “W.” After the first alphabet runs out of letters, street names restart alphabetically with two-syllable names. “Adams Street” follows “W Street.” Once the second alphabet is exhausted, the system repeats with words of three syllables. “Webster Street” is followed by the third alphabet’s “Allison Street.” However, the Fourth Alphabet does not use words of four syllables. Instead, the Fourth Alphabet, most of which are in the Northwest quadrant (DC’s largest), uses the names of plants in increasing alphabetical order. Thus “Aspen” follows “Whittier.” Also, all the states have an Avenue named after them, except for California Street and Ohio Drive.

Another interesting thing about DC is its border with MD. Even without the "Welcome to WDC" and "Welcome to MD" signs, the name of the street that separates the DC/MD border is either gonna be Western Avenue, Eastern Avenue, or Southern Avenue. And once you cross that street you're either in DC or MD.

A good start, but some of the most interesting parts of the DC map are not even touched upon. For starters, it may sound obvious, but how the street/block number informs the cross-street (1600 Pennsylvania will be at 16th and Pennsylvania), how after the letters are used up the grid moves to two syllable words in alphabetical order (Adams, Belmont, Clinton, Douglas, Euclid, Fairmont...) and then three syllable (Allison, Buchanan, Crittenden, Decatur, Emerson, Farragut...)like how you can pretty accurately guess where in the city a state avenue can be found in function of the year of admittance to the union (hint, Alaska and Hawaii Aves are quite a distance from the Mall), multiple repeats for two Canadian provinces (Ontario Place NW, Ontario Road NW, Québec Street NW, Québec Place NW -- but yet nothing for Canada's other two founding provinces, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia), the absence of J street or a J two/three syllable street (and no, its not to spite Chief Justice John Jay), Puerto Rico Avenue NE (to the dismay of Guam, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa), why one writes EYE Street not I Street... Again, a good intro, but hardly "explained"

Another fun fact from a local: as you get further out from downtown, street names continue to be arranged alphabetically but also by number of syllables. So first alphabetical with 2 syllables (Lowell, Macomb, Norton, Ordway) and then three (Appleton, Brandywine, Chesapeake, Davenport). Of course over time they didn't stick to this system 100%, but it's fun to notice where they did as you're out and about.

I live in DC and this part of the grid always surprises people. Locals will refer to these sometimes as the second, third & fourth alphabets (so I live between Decatur and Emerson Sts, NW, in the third alphabet). The 4th alphabet includes plant and tree names (Aspen, Butternut, etc.) because there are too few 4 syllable words. No alphabet includes any letter past W, but the third & fourth include a J street. Knowing this grid, you can also find any address in the city, by counting blocks. The 4800 block of 7th ST NW, for instance, is 48 streets north of the Capitol & 7 streets west, while the 2400 block of P St, NW is 24 blocks west of the capitol, but 15 blocks north (P being the 15th letter if you don't include J).

@@CPTDoom I think you mean Z? There's definitely a W in NW; it's the south side of Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park, and there's a Webster near you, too. You must live around 13th if you've not seen it. The more interesting thing is that you can tell if someone's from east or west of the park NW by the 2nd alphabet onward names they use. Most street names differ with west of the park street names usually coming alphabetically before east of the park names (so Albemarle and Allison, Brandywine and Buchanan) although there are exceptions (Klingle on both sides, Garrison and Gallatin). And if you want weird...4th suddenly becomes 5th on the reservoir side of Howard U.

Here's a fun fact that I learned in a DC history class: Did you know there is no Letter J street in Washington, DC? You can see it and it doesn't matter if you are in the N.E. or N.W. quadrants of D.C. There is a 'Jay' Street that spans roughly 7 blocks located in the N.E. Quadrant of D.C. in an area called Deanwood. I just wanted to clarify and add a true fact where you mentioned the division of streets in D.C. I was told back in D.C. History class that the reason the letter 'J' does not appear is because during the time D.C. was being planned and surveyed, Supreme Court Justice John Jay was having an affair with Pierre L'Enfant's wife. So he didn't want Jay's name or initials to appear in the creation of Washington, D.C. Why 'Jay' appears is because a lot of areas of D.C. during that time was still open, undeveloped land like current day Tenleytown, so the street was incorporated after L'Enfant's death. Over 200 years of pettiness and counting. Otherwise great video.

Hi there! What u learned may be true, this was what I was taught: So, in the 1700's the letter "J" didn't have the 'umbrella hook' at the bottom. It looked very similar to how we write lower case "i" now. It had the dot on top and city planners said it would confuse ppl. They wouldn't know if they were on "J" St. or "I" St. so they decided to eliminate it all together! Btw, if someone was having an affair with my spouse, I'd wanna block out any reminder of them, lol. His name is all over the place tho, for instance John Jay College of Criminolgy; John Jay Municipal court, just to name a few

You've only touched the tip of the iceberg with it's streets and how they are arranged- Applies to all quadrants in order from Capitol out: Numbered streets, Alphabet A-Z, then single syllable names in alphabetic order, two syllable names in alphabetic order, three syllable names in alphabetic order, and then names of tree in alphabetic order. The city is bounded by Eastern, Western and Southern Ave's along with Avenues named after all the states. Theres a Walnut Street and a Tunlaw Street (figure that one out). Now answer this question: Reagan National Airport (DCA) is actually in Arlington VA but it's mailing address is Washington DC...why? BTW if you don't believe me about the streets, look at a map of 16th St NW, start at the White House and follow it north through the city. There are exceptions but thats how the city was laid out.

DCA was built on land reclaimed from the Potomac, and because DC owns the entirety of the Potomac that forms the border between it and VA, technically it was built on DC land. Although what's even weirder than that is that Dulles has a DC address, even though it's 35 miles from the district proper!

At the time of the Civil War, most people felt a stronger connection to their home State rather than the greater United States (like how today some people will say that they’re Texans before they say they’re American). Robert E. Lee was no exception. He fought for Virginia because of what Virginia’s government decided to do (secede) - as a native Virginian. Only in the 20th century did an “American” identity emerge.

Bro I feel like I'm ready to watch videos like this for hours. That would be so cool to have 40-45 mins eposides with more details. So interesting. 7 mins is just not enought.

Can you do a video on Los Angeles city planning but instead of actually doing research you just light a dumpster on fire and film it?

I live right over the bridge in Northern VA myself, and this is pretty neat. Although I find myself wishing that the DC map system did something for the f'in horrendous traffic that only seems to die down when the clock says "AM" but its still dark out.

I believe the map you’re looking for is the Metro map, and if it’s not doing it for you, please vote for representatives that will make it better.
