U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Statue)
Aug 18, 2008 by Cary from Monticello
Overall Rating: 10 User Rating Score: 10

  • I like how they are holding the flag up.
  • Nothing. I love everything.

“I love this piece because it shows that people really care about our troops and it makes me so happy that I wish everybody would put there lives on the line to save someone else. But that job is for the brave people.”

  • Great Staff.
  • NA.

“Perry Family health Center is great. It wasn't like most clinics. It seem like a small hospital. They are fast and friendly. It's a very clean and safe environment. I would recommend Perry Center to everyone.”

New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
Sep 2, 2007 by Bill from Adelphi, MD
Overall Rating: 10 User Rating Score: 10

  • Tour conducted by very well informed lay leader!
  • None

“A friend and I visited NYAPC on labor day Sunday at the 10:00 am service. Next week, the church switches back to 11:00 am. We had a delightful visit at the church. It just oozes with history. We enjoyed the worship service, the pastor was very friendly and approachable, and the several lay leaders we met were equally as receptive to visitors. Visitors are welcomed to sit in Lincolns original pew which we did. We took the church tour afterwards and found it most fascinating. The church does much outreach to the poor and disenfranchised in the area. Highly recommend anyone to visit.”

Celadon Spa
Jun 5, 2007 by C from Suitland, MD
Overall Rating: 9 User Rating Score: 9

  • Love the atmosphere and the great service.
  • Can't think of anything!

“I just moved from Philadelphia, where I had the greatest bikini waxier in the world. I have been to a couple places in the area, but celadon is the best. They have appointments open and business hours to fit the needs of a busy working woman, they are centrally located, and they can work a wax! They don't wax one spot over and over until you are red, the estheticians don't make too much small talk, yet they are pleasant and friendly. Clean environment, and fast service! And they have great little spa/beauty gifts for sale too! Highly recommended.”

Ford's Theatre
Aug 9, 2006 by Michael from Tustin, CA
Overall Rating: 10 User Rating Score: 10

  • Fascinating historical site.
  • If on a tight time schedule, the plays can interfere with your visit.

“The level of care and attention to detail taken to restore this theater to its original configuration and condition is exceptional. The opportunity to see the spot where Lincoln was shot is awesome and I'm so grateful this building is not lost to history forever. The museum in the basement, which contains some incredible items (the pistol used to shoot Lincoln, the clothing and boots worn by the president that night, Booth's dagger, etc.) is absolutely fascinating. If you visit D.C., this is an historical "must-see".”
