A Perfect Day in Washington DC - Lonely Planet Travel Video

[Civitatuccillo]

historically "black"? historically white"?? who actually gives a flying freak?

DC, is gaining more whites, but so what? what is this??? Apartheid South Africa?

white's or is it European Americans, aren't allowed to live in the city>?

U street is showing more and more "whites" and I could care less. They are making the city better, people might not have been to a rust belt town but, talk about Hell Holes.. DC is a great city, I love it and I don't care about "historically black white anyone

[DaCatOnTop]

Its not only d.c. by the way, philly is shit too...90 percent of that city is complete ass run down ghetto...if u go to the real, non tourist areas its complete trash and these are the reall Philly that the little trolley buses wont show you...the only reason me and the boyfriend (whos black btw) got to see this is because we took a cab and the driver by mistake took us into wrong direction so thanks to that we got to see the real nitty gritty of the city, after all the touristy sites

[ChiaraRone]

Where is the drum circle? I want to go there!

[ChiaraRone]

The Zoo looks so huge on Television.

[OMGMunkay]

me and a bunch of friends had a water ballon fight that that drum circle park! xD

[nastynaas]

DC if separated from the united states would be a 3rd world nation that's crazy. That's how poor it is.

[nastynaas]

@nastynaas

And if you go to DC go to GEORGETOWN. Thats the best place to go in DC.

[Bahia82]

@nastynaas

DC is not poor! LOL, there are worst off cities in the USA, Trust me, lol

[nastynaas]

Outside of NW where is there money? The city cant even afford to pay their teachers. They have the worst school system in the nation Nearly 1 out of 5 of D.C. residents lives at or below the poverty level. D.C. poverty rate was 19.8%—the 3rd

highest D.C. has the highest rate of children in poverty of any jurisdiction in the U.S. 33% of D.C.

children live in families with incomes below the poverty level,What city is worse for kids? they cant aford der future

[DaCatOnTop]

@nastynaas

you also left out d.c. has the worst hiv/aids rate out of the whole country

[phillusa]

lets see her take a ride to Anacostia good luck in that part of town.

[nastynaas]

@phillusa hahahha

May find a body in the river

[Bahia82]

@phillusa

Nothing wrong with Anacostia, you've never been there, lol

[lilprettiimolly]

every city has homeless people.

[BlueAllegory]

This is only the liberal white middle class side of DC, all the black people probably go back to the ghetto side after they show off to the culture-ly curious tourists.

The real DC, it's not like this, my mom got mugged in DC, homeless people line the streets, it's dirty, the education stinks, the people are very poor. It's a shame our capital is like this.

[americaloverxp]

DC is one of the best cities in the U.S. Every city has homeless and some poor people but compared to other cities, DC is very clean and nice!

[lilprettiimolly]

ITs true that dc is not as perfect as people show it and some of the things you said are very true. but everybody who live in dc are not poor i live in dc im not poor i am black all of us dont live in the ghetto so dont talk about what you dont know.

[lilprettiimolly]

i bet if she goes to new york she will mugged to.

[lilprettiimolly]

and another thing eastern market is mixed with black and white people. and i know a lot of people who live in the dupont circle area.

[HolySpringRolls]

there's an indian museum? thats hard to expect in a land ruled by europeans who couldnt stand living in europe, so they rather fled across the ocean and stole someones land. and then I hear americans saying "illegal immigrants should stay in their countries and fix their issues". I'm glad there is a term called HYPOCRITE.

[kylep8514]

Ya WE did it, me and my neighbor Mike, we moved from Europe and stole the land our families share, the whole 1/2 acre lot. Just 3 years ago there were natives living in Huntington Beach, but WE kicked them out. Suckers!

[smallmartproductions]

its not an indian museum, its a native american museum called the museum of the american indian.

[smallmartproductions]

That's not the only side of dc, it's dirty and dangerous, and i've only been in upper northwest.

[lilprettiimolly]

People go over board oh dc is "dirty and dangerous". dc is just like any other city. so fuck off.

[smallmartproductions]

when did I say that it wasn't like any other city? ive been to new york, chicago, la, they were all gross. thats why i have a house in the suburbs of dc and in the suburbs of la, and rarely go to the city.

honestly, dc is the best out of all of them. it is dangerous though, because a couple years ago it was the murder capital of the us.

[coffeeseven]

That's the way I like to see the new places I go to too. Stay out of the touristy places and do what the locals do for fun. Thanks for the great video. FUN!!!

[msigler78]

DC is ghetto as hell. There are a few historical things to see. For the most part it is dirty and dangerous.

[msigler78]

Thumbs down? I'm just sayin. I lived in the NOVA for a few years while in college and spent some time in DC which was about 10 minutes from my apt. If you don't think it is dirty or dangerous, you have never lived there or nearby.

[clg420]

I've only visited it twice but I can see why you say that. The first time I went there we arrived at around 11pm. We were pretty freaked out when we got lost finding our hotel.

[denkar1891]

Thanks for showing the other side of DC

[CriticalJuncturePro]

0:40 that jig can move! Next time your in DC I will show you my Washington monument! 2:00minutes woohoo for drunk bitches! Also I will give you a hot dog with extra sour kraut...It will be the best you eva had baby!

[masterdebatercba321]

nice video...NOT

[ContrastY]

we visited DC last summer and enjoyed it very much.

would like to return, our visit was too short.

[bloodhoundgal]

I'm a native of Washington, DC. It's a beautiful city, rich in diverse culture, but it does seem like two different worlds. You can find yourself in one neighborhood, turn a corner and be in a very different place. All of it is unlike anywhere else. I miss DC!

[jawn108]

what a hottie rawr

[sdenizk666]

i have been there. lots of homeless people

[anzdf]

Hermoso paseo.

[gladitsnotme]

You missed showing the half-million dollar condos that are going to replace every neighborhood you went to lmao. FYI, U street isn't a "historically black neighborhood"; the entire city is historically black. But hello Mr. Gentrification!

[ArchNME]

@gladitsnotme No douche bag the entire city isn't historically black. The city has only been majority black since about 1960. Besides stop being a fucking racist, there are plenty of blacks that can afford the higher rents, The ones who went to college while you were sitting around toking up and listening to go-go all day. Then they got these things called JOBS, you might want to look into that.

[15gmt]

@gladitsnotme and where are these condos at?? Its two years later and still no sign of them. D.C. sucks anyways. Ive lived here my whole entire life and its lame. We need to make this city more hip and add some form of entertainment.

[legendaryjezzdog]

looks really fun i want to gooo tooo washingtonn
