I too have been looking at the scenery in the Washington DC area. I am
quite impressed to see power station stacks and office buildings all in
the right spots. KDCA is also no longer on a platform floating in the
Potomac, which in turn no longer has fictional 100' waterfalls. Rock
Creek Park in the middle of the city (largest park in the world to be
completely contained within a city, IIRC) is now a valley, as it should be

I was also pleased to see the Washington Monument (thanks me!). It seems
that the myriad construction cranes are in the right spots too.
Including temporary obstructions was a nice touch, though I think I will
paint mine yellow though :)

The roads are of course still a little to far to the SE, but I have
learned to live with that. My only real complaint is that there are some
odd models about, for instance KADW now has three beacons, and the
Dickerson power plant's main stack seems to be represented by a lone
high tension wire tower.
