A grotesque Darth Vader on a church, a giant chair, the bigger moving staircase in the western hemisphere, a faithful replica of the Holy Land for those who can not make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the oldest continually operating airport in the world, the only embassy state in the nation ? Far from the crowds and clichés, Washington, DC is a treasure trove hidden, revealed only to the most curious, whether resident or visitor. An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew the city well or who would like to find his hidden face.
