Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle is a historic district in Northwest Washington, D.C. With plenty to see and do, this cultural center is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.

If your travel plans bring you to Dupont Circle, call Affinity Airport Sedan for a ride there. Our reliable, personal ground transportation service can do the driving; so instead of fighting traffic, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights.

About Dupont Circle

Despite being a part of Washington, D.C.’s “Old City,” Dupont Circle wasn’t developed extensively until after the American Civil War when a flood of new residents moved into the area. The neighborhood was named after Samuel Francis Du Pont, a rear admiral during the war.

Dupont Circle quickly became an area of prominence with mansions and townhouses lining the streets by the 1880s. The British embassy was even built here in 1872. While there was a period of decline after World War II and the 1968 riots, the 1970s saw a time of resurgence, as the area took on a bohemian air and grew in popularity with the gay and lesbian community.

Dupont Circle today

Today, Dupont Circle is a thriving area, with upscale shops, trendy coffeehouses, restaurants, and bars. In its center is a small park, which contains a central fountain, an abundance of seating, and permanent tabletop chessboards. The park is also a location for many rallies and protests.

The neighborhood is home to several research institutions, including the Brookings Institution, the Center for Global Development, and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. In addition, the Original Founding Church of Scientology; the Phillips Collection, the country’s first museum of modern art; and the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, America’s oldest veteran’s organization, are all located in Dupont Circle.

Annual events include Capital Pride, the nation’s fourth-largest LGBT festival, which is held each June and the High Heel Race, in which drag queens run a three-block race wearing high heels, that takes place each October.

Enjoy your time in Dupont Circle. And for all of your transportation needs, just call Affinity!

Takoma Park

Exploring Takoma Park

Takoma Park, Maryland is a lively, culturally rich city northeast of Washington, D.C. This progressive area is nicknamed Azalea City, after a flowering shrub that grows across town, and it’s also a Tree City USA, so it boasts a tree planting and maintenance program that’s sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation.

If you’re planning to visit this peaceful, nature-loving city, chances are, you’ll need a ride there. Call Affinity Airport Sedan to pick you up and give you a lift. Our reliable ground transportation service can give you a ride from any airport in the D.C. area. So when you’re ready to book your ride, just call Affinity!

About Takoma Park

Benjamin Franklin Gilbert founded Takoma Park in 1883, and he bought large pieces of land on which many of the city’s original homes were built. Sitting at an altitude of 350 feet, Takoma Park was high enough to bypass the malaria and mosquitoes that tormented the District. The area grew rapidly and was incorporated into a town in 1890. In 1976, much of Victorian old town became a part of the Takoma Park Historic District.

Takoma Park is known for its liberal and “left of liberal” values. The city was the first in the U.S. to approve a voting age of 16 and allows residents who are not American citizens to vote in municipal elections. The area is also a nuclear-free zone.

Culture

Takoma Park is home to several cultural events each year, including its folk festival, street festival, jazz fest, independent film festival, and Fourth of July Parade. In addition, a nationally known blues record label, Takoma Records, was founded in the city in the late 1950s.

Today, community revitalization efforts are taking place in the city. The local historic society is overseeing work currently underway to build the Historic Takoma Museum. And the Takoma Theatre Conservatory is working to renovate the currently vacant Takoma Theatre, which will become a multipurpose facility.

Come out and soak up the culture of Takoma Park, and for a ride there, know you can count on Affinity!
