Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any U.S. state.
--------------------------------------------------
The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. It has been the residence of every U.S. president since John Adams in 1800.
--------------------------------------------------
The Washington Monument is an obelisk on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate George Washington, once commander-in-chief of the early Continental Army and the first American president.

The Washington Metropolitan Area's Finest Estate Parcel | TTR Sotheby's International Realty
Encompassing approximately three acres overlooking the most captivating portion of the Potomac River, River Point is the finest estate parcel available in the Washington Metropolitan area.
Strategically positioned less than half a mile to the District of Columbia — and just over five miles to the White House — River Point affords exceptional privacy and security which are rarely available in most other metropolitan area locations. The site also provides unique access from both Chain Bridge Road and 44th Street North, making available multiple options for access, egress, and additional security.
River Point encompasses three separate parcels which have been artfully planned to create a world-class residential masterpiece.
Under the guidance of renowned American architect Stanley Dixon, the site has been thoughtfully envisioned with a stunning English Manor House inspired by the timeless work of British architect Edwin Lutyens.
The plans provide for a gatehouse, separate carriage house, tennis court, parking for 30 cars and a stunning main residence with multiple bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and every conceivable luxury. The plans are fully complete and have been reviewed for building permits by the local government jurisdictions.
The timeless beauty of River Point, however, is best captured in its exceptional perspective on the Potomac River.
This stretch of the river has been highly coveted for generations due to the dynamic quality of the river in this area. Massive granite boulders punctuate the river at this point creating vibrant natural waterfalls and energy in the movement of the water as it flows towards the Chesapeake Bay. Here, abundant wildlife also seeks refuge from the nearby city, and a wide range of Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, and Red-Tailed Hawks are often visible overhead and along the water’s edge.
With exceptionally convenient access to the city of Washington, an unmatched position overlooking the finest stretch of the Potomac River, and world-class design and building plans which are ready for construction, River Point is the ultimate location for Washington’s finest estate.

=======
The George Washington University (GW, GWU, or George Washington) is a private research university in Washington, D.C. It was charted in 1821 by an act of the United States Congress.
The university is organized into 14 colleges and schools, including the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, the Elliott School of International Affairs, the School of Media and Public Affairs, the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, the GW Law School, and the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design. George Washington's main Foggy Bottom Campus is located in the heart of Washington, D.C., with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank located on campus and the White House and the U.S. Department of State within blocks of campus.

It is the largest institution of higher education in the District of Columbia. George Washington offers degree programs in seventy-one disciplines, enrolling an average of 11,000 undergraduate and 15,500 post-graduate students from more than 130 countries.George Washington, the 1st President of the United States, advocated the establishment of a national university in the U.S. capital in his first State of the Union address in 1790 and continued to promote this idea throughout his career and until his death. In his will, Washington left shares in the Potomac Company to endow the university. However, due to the company's financial difficulties, funds were raised independently. On 9 February 1821, the university was founded by an Act of Congress, making it one of only 5 universities in the United States with a Congressional charter.George Washington was ranked 63rd nationally by U.S. News & World Report. The Princeton Review ranked GWU 1st for Top Colleges or Universities for Internship Opportunities. As of 2015, George Washington had over 1,100 active alumni in the U.S. Foreign Service, the nation's diplomatic corps. GWU is consistently ranked by The Princeton Review in the top Most Politically Active Schools.

Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway)
Interstate 495 is a 64-mile Interstate Highway that surrounds Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States of America, and the city's inner suburbs in adjacent Maryland and Virginia. I-495 is widely known as the Capital Beltway, the DC Beltway or simply the Beltway, especially when the context of Washington, D.C., is clear. It is the basis of the phrase Inside the Beltway, used when referring to issues dealing with American government and politics. I-95 utilizes the southern and eastern half of the Capital Beltway to circumnavigate Washington, D.C., and is cosigned with I-495 along that route.
This circumferential roadway is located not only in the states of Virginia and Maryland, but also crosses briefly through the District of Columbia, near the western end of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac River. The Beltway passes through Prince George's County and Montgomery County in Maryland, and Fairfax County and the independent city of Alexandria in Virginia.

Our Town Tim Brant
Tim Brant, recently retired American sportcaster is Andy Ockershausen’s guest in this episode of Our Town. Tim grew up in Our Town, played football at University of Maryland, had a short lived pro-football career, and a stellar career as a sportcaster on radio and TV.
Listen in to hear Tim Brant recall one story after another of life as a sportscaster in Our Town, including what happened as he broadcast Muhammad Ali v Alfredo Evangelista fight at the Capitol Center in Landover, MD, and when he had to tell Paul “Bear” Bryant that he was playing football at Maryland instead of Alabama. You’ll love listening in to this interview because Andy and Tim are dear friends. Their mutual admiration is apparent throughout the interview.
Tim grew up right here in Our Town. In fact, his family has been in the Washington area for generations and have helped to make the Washington DC area what it is today. He and his brothers were all very talented in sports. Tim went to high school and played ball at St. John’s College High School. He went on to graduate from the University of Maryland with a degree in journalism and played football there as a defensive captain and linebacker. Later, he played for the Redskins before a career-ending knee injury.
Andy and Tim Brant met when Tim began work as a sports writer at WMAL radio. He attributes much of his career success to Andy who was a mentor to Tim in the early years of his broadcasting career. These two men recall Tim’s “very first big thing on the air”, the Ali fight. Tim did an amazing job of painting a picture on radio of the fight for the audience during the boxing match between Alfredo Evangelista and Muhammad Ali.
The next career move for Tim was the in TV. Tim remembers being so nervous to tell Andy that he was leaving the station. Andy’s was disappointed but wished him all the best. Andy did predict that if Tim Brant entered TV, he would “end up in Louisville” and, sure enough, Tim eventually found himself in Louisville covering the Kentucky Derby. He couldn’t resist calling Andy to let him know his prediction had come true. They shared a good laugh.
All joking aside though, Tim’s TV career is quite an impressive one. He has served many roles at ABC Sports, including host, sideline reporter, expert analyst and play-by-play. He joined ABC Sports as a college football commentator in 1982. After leaving for CBS in 1987, in 1991 Brant returned to ABC in the booth as an analyst and play-by-play man for College Football on ABC, a role he held until 2007.
Brant is often best known for his coverage of college football with Keith Jackson. While with ABC, Brant announced three National Championship games. While working with Keith Jackson, he was listed as college football’s top analyst by numerous publications, including USA Today.
In 1987 & 1988, Brant was paired with analyst Hank Stram on NFL broadcasts. He also teamed with Jim Nance in 1990. In Nance’s 2008 best-selling book, Jim says that he never forged a friendship as quickly with anyone as he did with Tim Brant.
Locally, he has hosted sport pre-game specials such as Are You Ready for Washington Redskins games.He served as Vice President, Sports at WJLA-TV in Washington through May, 2015. He previously served as the station’s sports director from 1978 until 1982.
Tim currently lives in Potomac, Maryland with his wife Janet. They are very active in local charities. He has four grown children, Jason, Kevin, Lindsay and Julie. He has many grandchildren and feels so blessed with his family.

UPSOUND: (Reporter) Any comment on the White House (unintelligible) (Trump) Secret Service did a fantastic job last night. I appreciate it. Secret Service did a fantastic job. It was a troubled person. Very sad, actually. Secret Service was fantastic. Last night.
3. Mid of White House advisers Reince Preibus, Steve Bannon, Sean Spicer, pan to Trump
UPSOUND: (Trump) We're having some great discussions. The economy is doing very, very well. Generally speaking we're doing very well. We're getting it back on track. We really had a....a mess. We had a mess, believe me. It's getting straightened out. It's getting straightened out fast. Today, we're also talking about health care, which is coming along. Thank you all very much.
STORYLINE:
President Donald Trump said Saturday that the U.S. Secret Service did a fantastic job apprehending a troubled person who got onto the White House grounds after climbing a fence on the east side of the property while Trump was inside the executive mansion.
It was the first known security breach at the White House since Trump took office nearly two months ago.
The Secret Service said in a statement that the individual, whom it did not identify, was arrested on the south grounds without further incident after climbing an outer perimeter fence near the Treasury Department and East Executive Avenue at about 11:38 p.m. Friday.
No hazardous materials were found during a search of a backpack the individual carried over the fence, the agency said.
Secret Service did a fantastic job last night, Trump said Saturday from his golf club in Northern Virginia. Trump described the intruder as a troubled person and very sad. He was briefed on the matter Friday night.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly also was briefed on the incident, the Secret Service said. Kelly was among several Cabinet secretaries and senior White House staff members who attended a working lunch with the president at the Trump National Golf Club.
The Secret Service also said a search of the north and south White House grounds found nothing of concern to security operations.
The agency didn't provide an update Saturday on the individual's status. Standard practice is to turn intruders over to the local police department.
The intrusion, the first under Trump, follows a series of security lapses during the eight years that Barack Obama was president.
An especially embarrassing breach came in September 2014 when an Army veteran with mental health issues scaled a fence on the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the White House and made it as far into the building as the East Room before the Secret Service could apprehend him.
The Obamas were not at home at the time. The incident was one of several breakdowns by the Secret Service that ultimately led to the resignation of the agency's then-director, Julia Pierson, the following month.
Trump said he brought the Cabinet secretaries, White House staff and some of their spouses to the club for a working lunch to discuss the military, the economy, health care and other issues.
Besides Kelly, joining Trump were Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, chief strategist Steve Bannon and press secretary Sean Spicer.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was notably absent.
It's going to be straightened out fast, Trump said.
