4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book for people who are moving, July 24, 2000
This review is from: Fodor's CITYGUIDE Washington, D.C., 2nd Edition: The Ultimate Sourcebook for City Dwellers (Paperback)
If you're moving to the D.C. area, this is a wonderful guide to have around in the weeks up to and during your move. It focuses a little too much on D.C. proper, and not quite enough on the Northern Virginia or suburban Maryland areas. There are some minor errors scattered here and there that could have been easily checked and corrected. And not wrong, but irksome: on the beigish-yellow portions of map 13, the Yellow Metrorail line is all but invisible. Smart thinking, Fodor's.

But the sheer amount of useful information in this book is staggering. The maps are clear, the neighborhood descriptions put me right in the middle of the bustling crowds, and the places and activities listed could keep me busy for a good five years without repeating anything.

If and when I move to D.C., this book is going to be creased and cracked and dog-eared in mere days. I'd also recommend it for people who are just traveling to the city for a few days.
