Whether you are from the North, South, Mid-West, or West coast, we all have one thing in common--the Nation's Capital (commonly referred to as D.C.). The city is located along the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, bordered by the states of Virginia and Maryland, and divided into four parts: Northwest (NW), Northeast (NE), Southwest (SW) and Southeast (SE).

"The District" welcomes approximately 15 million visitors yearly* (www.washington.org/about-washington-dc), and with Election Day right around the corner, the arrival of tourists to the area won't be far behind. So we here at "Quote Unquote" Magazine decided to give readers our snapshot of Washington, DC...
