[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's Georgetown, or rather how they have NOT planned getting in and out of there. 
Key bridge dump at bottom of M street gives me nightmares. That weird exit off key bridge to whitehurst that is like a side highway sidearm is super creepy. A beautiful riverfront area that's now in the shadow of the creepy freeway. I've said creepy a few times, so that's how I feel. Not sure why. I never go there anymore.

A lot of preservationists disagree and want to keep the historic Whitehurst Freeway. Even if it becomes a high line like park in the future. They like the remaining industrial vibes of the area under the freeway. It has a film noir feel. That’s why that memorable scene in [u]True Lies [/u]was filmed there.  [/quote]

I never understood the Whitehurst Freeway hate. People act like it was built on top of a park or a bustling pedestrian promenade instead of directly on top of another road with virtually the exact same dimensions. If you removed it you'd just have another ugly road and M street would take 3 times as long to traverse since you took away its main bypass.[/quote]
