Ever Wondered Why D.C. Is Unique Among Cities?
Mention the name "L'Enfant" in my current city, Washington D.C., and most would only know that it is name of a subway station. Scott Berg's well researched book reveals the many layers of the Frenchman whose vision provided the blueprint for our nation's capital. He does a great job of explaining not only the foresightedness of L'Enfant's plan but also how his plan fell prey to political infighting of those quick to make a buck. "Grand Avenues" is valuable for its insights on our Founding Fathers who had contrary visions for the capital. The book also captures the Frenchman's own quirks which played a large role in his ruination. Highly recommended.
