As a blog about DC history, we worked hard to seek out the most obscure pseudonym this city has witnessed in her over 200 year history. We settled on The Ten Miles Square; one of the epithets used by George Washington, who never referred to city as "Washington" for fear of sounding pretentious. The Ten Miles Square is a convenient reminder that the nation's founders carved out a tiny center of power in the middle of nowhere. A few things have changed since then...
So this quiz was pretty fun and very informative - I'll admit I didn't do too spectacularly, although I was able to correctly match the list of famous memorials to their criticisms. Enjoy!
