The Exorcist Steps

There is plenty of real history in Washington, DC, but in the Georgetown neighborhood, there is movie history as well. The Exorcist Steps are worth a quick visit. Everyone who has seen The Exorcist, remembers the scene where the priest fell out the window and down these steps.





This tourist attraction is located at the corner of Prospect St NW and 36th St NW in Georgetown. It is not uncommon to find people exercising on the steps. When I visited, there were two people running up and down the stairs non-stop. Another woman was walking them as exercise. She seemed annoyed to be in one of my photos, but that's what you get for exercising on the Exorcist steps. It is a popular site and people love photographing them. People also love going up and down them. So good luck getting a decent photo without people on them.

The Exorcist was based, somewhat, on an alleged case of possession of a boy in nearby Maryland. Whether the boy was actually possessed, is a matter of debate. Of course, this location has nothing to do with any real exorcism or haunting, but it is still pretty interesting to visit.

You had the attack on Parliament here in Coach Outlet Sale Delhi. And I think there was a whole host of other factors that contributed to the stance that one took, but at the end of the day one has to realise that when you are a minister in Cheap Jordan Shoes For Men any particular government, you take the government's Coach Handbags Clearance line. Once you have Michael Kors Outlet Online taken the oath of office, then your personal views are secondary to the government's position, and that's the way it was..
