Isn't DC in Virginia, which IS a state?
Technically, DC is not a state. Also, it inhabits more of Maryland than Virgina(Being on the north side of the Potomac river).
Not to mention Virgina seems to exhibit a supernatural force that turns all their drivers into idiots.
I live in Falls Church Virginia, outside of Washington D.C. (raised in Reston, VA) and I am an excellent driver. It's just hard when all 3 million of us get on the road at the same time every day. If you consider us bad, then you've never been to Florida.
Sigh. Things are even more fucked up that I thought.
I bet at least 20% of Americans don't even know what DC stands for.
(District Columbia. There. Now it's 19.85%)
More like 95%, I like to simply say I am from the D.C. area, but most people, not from the area, have no idea what I am talking about.
I was born in Bethesda Maryland by the way.
Can you visit your birthplace in Fallout 3?
If you make your best comparison of the Fallout 3 map to a real map (it's a far stretch) then my friend, who first introduced me to DF, lives right on top of Vault 101 and I am pretty close as well.
I was disappointed with Fallout 3 btw. The first two were way better. It's just Oblivion with guns (not trying to start a discussion on this now).
As a substitution for the obligatory hometown skyline pic, I offer a view of the underground Metro of the D.C. area, which I use frequently.
