NFT Washington DC Cherrydale / Palisades

Cherrydale / Palisades
Palisades is one of DC’s overlooked neighborhoods—oh-so-quiet and with a mix of modest to magnificent homes, some with fantastic views of the Potomac. Yet, you still have to pick up provisions on your way home from work, as there’s not much to be had here. The Virginia side is an outdoor wonderland of nature parks, hiking trails, and fishing holes.

Old Aqueduct Bridge
The DC punk/hardcore scene gets more and more mythologized with each passing year, but this of the few artifacts from that era that still stands. Granted, this ruined bridge has been overlooking the Potomac for nigh on 200 years, but from the pre-Dischord Georgetown Punks to the United 121 skinhead crew to the Tenley Punx of the last gasp 90s, most have left their mark somewhere in the more than 30 years of counterculture graffiti covering this scenic outcropping--and the bike messengers, stoners and runaways that still frequent here today are leaving more daily.
