Traffic backs up on the Rock Creek Parkway underneath the overhang of the Kennedy Center. The little pic at right (click to expand) shows the Kennedy Center overhang in the rearview mirror and that's Georgetown across the Potomac.

There are many reasons why I almost never drive to work but the drive home through traffic is certainly among them. I just can't navigate a city in traffic. I can't navigate a city by car, for that matter. I'm always taking the stupid wrong turn that sends me 20 minutes out of my way before I can make a correction, and in traffic the 20 doubles to 40 and you're talking serious nightmare. It's really much better to take the train.
