No Access Washington, DC: The Capital's Hidden Treasures, Haunts, and Forgotten Places by Beth Kanter
As a resident of Northern Virginia, I was interested in seeing what types of places the author might introduce me to. Some I was familiar with, such as the DC boundary stones. Most others were new. The sections range from very short to a few pages and are usually interesting, if not insightful. Not everything is exactly "No Access". The immigration ceremony, for instance, is certainly open to the public. Perhaps "Hidden DC" might have been a better title. In that vein, the book does achieve show more its goal of making the reader more watchful for the nooks and crannies, overlooked historical sites, and other places in DC that mean a lot to a small circle of insiders. While we are unlikely to be invited for tea at the Japanese Embassy's teahouse, at least there are some places here we can visit. show less
People at work love this book, but for me the information within seemed basic and intuitive. Probably very helpful for people who have limited understanding of social media, but I think I am not the target audience for this one.
