- I take a walk in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC and eventually make my way to the Rosslyn Metro Station in Arlington, Virginia. Georgetown is home to many cool shops, restaurants, Georgetown University, and also the site of the Exorcist.

You walked that Exorcist staircase with ease, not even out of breath. Loving the video, keep up the good work.
That’s because he went up and down during daylight lol
Your right Stacey. If it was night he would of ran up 🤣🤣
I did it but wasn't without fright
@@ActionKid 👹👿👺 Lol!
Well said 👏.
You're all over nowadays! I love visiting DC and the surrounding areas, such a beautiful city especially in the Spring. Last time I was there, they had an earthquake that occurred just as I was exiting the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station and the escalator felt as if it was moving sideways. Stayed at the Four Seasons in Georgetown once, to support my fellow Canadian Issy Sharp, the Four Season's founder.
Wow, crazy to learn there was an earthquake when you visited Glad you had a great time!
Nice to see some of the neighborhoods in Washington D C 🙂! Nice looking old and historical houses and buildings like the stone house where you went to the courtyard! Nice restaurants , especially that mexixan restaurant , pricey though !! That cat cafe looked quite interesting ! Thank you for sharing this walk A K 👍!!!
You're welcome, it's certainly a nice place to visit
The Rosslyn escalator is pretty tall but it pales in comparison to the escalator at the Wheaton Metro station, it's the tallest escalator in the Western Hemisphere!
Thank you so much for your amazing videos.big love from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Many educated professionals, ambassadors, diplomats, members of Congress and the Supreme Court live here, welcome to Georgetown.
Thank you, I can tell many professionals reside in Georgetown.
The steps reminded me of the Music Box steps you conquered in L.A..
Where do I even start?? There's so many historical landmarks, and I felt like I traveled back in time. 🤩 The old architectures are impressive to see, and I'm glad they're still around. The brick sidewalks and paths are enticing and brighten up the ambiance, and the streets are really clean. The highlights of this walk are the Old Stone House, Exorcist Stairs and House, Georgetown University, Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge, and the long escalator ride at the Rosslyn Metro Station. 😍 It's also cool how you can easily cross the bridge from DC to Virginia. Thank you so much for sharing this informative and historical walk, AK! 🤗
My pleasure, loved seeing all the historical sites and also the journey across the bridge to Virginia
Nice city , beautiful video well done Kid!!😃👌
Really enjoyed this Georgetown walk. So historical. With out you taking me here I would never had the opportunity to see this beautiful place.
Glad you got to experience it, thanks for watching
if I have opportunity to see beauty place.
Very nice walk, ! Georgetown is very Beautiful. If you stop in DC again , visit Arlington National Cemetery and The Changing of The Guard at The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier! It is the most unique event a person can experience!

Georgetown cupcakes is well known. They actually had a reality TV show from 2010-2013. Their cupcakes are really good to. My favorite is the blueberry cheesecake cupcake but they only sell it once a year for a month.
Good to know! I knew there was a reason why there was a long line there.
Thanks again AK, your videos are so informative 🙏🏻
Great!! You got a map! That should be a big help!!
I work at Georgetown! You walked through my office building! It's a lovely campus - you should come back in the summertime when campus is blooming.
Loved this area, went to many shows at the long gone Bayou, Blues Alley and some at Gaston Hall on Georgetown campus. Took that metro line many times in the times when I lived in Arlington before moving to DC in the late 80's. There is a cool indoor Mall Georgetown Park that we would visit as well. Was a great City to live in during my early 20's
Glad you got to experience it
Thanks for uploading kenneth, i"m boring myself but watching your videos makes me feel better
My pleasure!
AK on your next trip to DC you should visit the Adams Morgan area which is similar to NYC s Greenwich Village . The area of three blocks south of Columbia Road along 18 st NW as many restaurants and also the area has many beautiful townhouses and apartments . Your fellow You Tuber Ariel the Urbanist was in this area on one his tours and can vouch on its beauty .
Adams Morgan is a nice area. Use to live within walking distance in the late 80's
I'll have to give it a visit next time!
For AK and fellow other viewers the AM area does not have a Metro stop . I have taken the Metro to the Woodley Park-National Zoo stop and walked through the zoo crossing Rock Creek to Adams Mill Rd which runs into the Columbia Road 18 Th St NW intersection
The old stone ho use is considered the oldest house in Georgetown. Georgetown is not named after George Washington. I'm so glad you're going to see other areas of DC. When you go to the waterfront you will pass over the historic Cheseapeake and Ohio canal. As I said about your first video of DC, it would be very helpful to read about the area before you start talking about it. When you "wing it" you state a lot of things that are very inaccurate. Again, this is meant to be constructive suggestions, not just to criticize. Again I'm glad your seeing other parts of DC, than just the main downtown area.
@Joan In Florida Your point is well taken, I agree, sorry I criticized him. I am so used to his expertise on NYC. He's always been very personable! I'll continue to enjoy his work, as I have for a long time.
@Joan In Florida Thank you for the kind response. I have followed AK for about 4-5 years, he deserves a lot of credit for all the great videos he has produced. I grew up in NYC, which makes all those videos so meaningful.
Wow! great tour Ken! you took this old man on something I never would have been able to do. Been thru DC area many times but just passing thru in cars. never had the time to stop and see the sites. Great tour of Georgetown University. Oh I'm probably not the onlt one to correct you on the pronunciation of the Potomac River, It''s not "Tom" its Po-tuh-mac. as in Toe. that ought to settle the "politically correct viewer ha ha. Not that I'm one. All right so I am. but I did see my name flash by on that Mechanical Van that passed you on the first leg of your journey. This was a great video thank you so much for taking the time to bring us / me alone. and for sharing. ECF
Thank you so much for watching! It was a very nice area to explore
@Ellis C - Man, you don’t even live here, and you’re trying to be “that guy” with the pronunciation. It’s not pronounced “po-tuh-mac,” man, it’s “puh-tow-muhk.” Stick to wherever you are actually from and let Action Kid do his thing! Get after it, AK!
Hi AK. Thank you for this great video of Georgetown and nearby Rosslyn Metro with its so very very long escalator. I used to live in Ashburn, VA and loved taking the metro to DC. And you did awesome adding money to the metro catd. Thanks again.
You're welcome! It was a great place to explore and yes, the metro has such a long escalator!
@@ActionKid Some DC metro stations have long escalators as well hope you can walk up to the Wheaton Station one or the Cleveland Park and The Bethesda one .
Hello ActionKid! Thanks for showing the Exorcist house and stairs. You may have noticed that the house and stairs are separated from each other. When The Exorcist was shot, they built an extension onto the house so that Regan's bedroom would be directly above the stairs for the climactic scene when Father Karras leaps through the window and tumbles down the steps to his death.
Good to know about the Exorcist staircase
This is so amazing keep up the good work
Wow! Great walked and Georgetown nice place other different place bright near gasoline down and upstairs near the house is cover gate color black and same the movie 1974 Exorcist! Thank for TH-cam video! 👍🙋♀️
Beautiful walk. Thanks. Washington and Georgetown are on my bucket list.
I know this is a bit late but I've just found your videos here and I'm just catching up. I really enjoyed this one because I'm a local - having lived here now for over 60 years. The craziest part of that is that I went to high school just outside of Georgetown (all the way back in the 60's) and it was my and my friends favorite place to hang out. Best shops, restaurants, clubs, etc. Once I was out of school I got a job working in Rosslyn and I was there when the Metro was built. We used to hear alarms go off and we knew it meant that they were blasting down in that massive hole and we would be feeling the shaking. (Rattled the buildings AND your nerves!) I worked in a building that was next door to the famous garage where Bob Woodward met with Deep Throat during the post Watergate days. I was also there when the film crews showed up - with Robert Redford and Hal Holbrook - to film those scenes in All the President's Men. I also remember looking across the river from the office (we were up in one of the high rises there) and seeing the klieg lights over in Georgetown while they were filming The Exorcist. They were all fun, heady days and even though I'm still close by, it's been years since I've been there. It was nice making the visit with you! (By the way - the reason Georgetown doesn't have it's own Metro stop is because the rich residents of Georgetown refused to give permission to have the stop put in there. They didn't want their streets crammed with tourists. I do believe that they have regretted that decision since then.)
Like you, I love the architecture of Georgetown. May I suggest a future stop to visit here is old town Alexandria. You said something in the video about being surprised that the old stone building was still there. You'll find that around here we specialize in preserving old places (at least as much as possible.) Old Town reflects that. When DC was originally created, land was donated from both Maryland and Virginia. Most of the Virginia donation ended up going back to Virginia and is part of Old Town. We're big on preserving history!
Awesome! Great walk AK!
Wow your now in my neck of the woods. A nice change from your NYC and FL videos. Thanks for helping even us locals get out and view the great districts of DC because it’s been a minute since even I have walked the streets of Georgetown, DC.
Very happy I could show you Georgetown
Great video I forgot to tell you that the DuPont Circle Station has long escalators as well hope you can come back to DC soon for more videos.
I enjoyed your tour of Georgetown 👍❤️
If I knew you were in my neighborhood I would have bought you a coffee my friend!
Checked the room rates at the 4 seasons....you're looking at around $1200 a night....wowza!
Cheaper than my rent at least
Great tour! 👏👏
The dirt trail by the river is the historic C&O Canal towpath - very cool 👍
A number of parts of The Exorcist were also filmed on campus at Fordham University in the Bronx, NY. In the film the priest who gives the main young priest his last rites after he falls down the stairs was an actual priest from Fordham.
Great info, didn't know parts of it were filed in the Bronx too!
The blue signs on pedestals that are seen in DC have compass roses at their base, for direction-finding.
Good to know!
Thank you for sharing 💝
Great tour, enjoyed👍
Thank you so much
Great vid! Enjoyed it all, was wondering about the blurred out guy @4:55. Did he give you a sour look or flip the bird? I'm sure there was a reason you spared us! 😉 Thank you ‼️
AK those sidewalks of DC are not as wide as those in NYC . AK walking across the Frances Scott Key Bridge , it reminds me of my younger days .
@Joan In Florida I did not know that I didn't know metro cost 45 cents to get on back then.
Hi AK , Thank you so much for sharing this walk. Have you ever been to Annapolis before !? The historic Georgetown streets are very similar
I wouldlove to show us there too .
nice walk action kid enjoy your visits
I'll never forget the time I was white-knuckling it down the Exorcist stairs when some 20-something woman jogged past me, got to the bottom, turned and jogged up like it was nothing. Rarely have I felt quite so pathetic & physically weak.
you should stop at WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE in Williamsburg, VA. It has the same theme as Georgetown. It is the first colony at Jamestown etc. Nice stop on the way back to Florida
I love your video very much !!! Are you planning to do something around The White House and The National Mall ?
That would be lovely .
I love this place
If y’all don’t know, Georgetown used to be a predominantly black neighborhood, look up that history and TH-cam videos of elders talking about it!
Thanks for the info!
Yes, that's true. So hard to believe. And off the river, thy sold slaves, right off M street.
You walked by dude on the Dallas Mavericks at 13:42
The Exorcist stair compared to the metro escalators it's a joke had me laughing 🤭. Love the stone building the history and the architecture of the buildings gorgeous. Thanks for the walk so much to see had alot of fun .💛👍
Glad you had fun watching!
Hallo Actionkid - Greetings from Germany
25:13 I didn't know about this of that movie but I might've watched long time ago. But that's not the only reason of this area, as this was used for series of popular prank bushman on YT, especially at end of the steps and other of the alley, 46:01 and as well right side, where the wall is.
I love Georgetown, but M St. has too much traffic. I really wish they'd eliminate street parking, cut it down to one lane each way, put in some bus-only lanes & expand street dining areas.
Loved Washington tour. Very nice, felt very familiar to us and like British towns. Lots of independent shops which was very good. In UK a town is highly regarded if it has lots of quality independents rather than chainstores. We also laughed (not at you) when you said it was like going back to the 1700's as it's like many UK towns today. The block paving is quite modern in UK. We have much older buildings in UK but we understand it was very new for you and for us too to see. We enjoyed it very much thank you.
Thanks for watching!
If you travel north through town, after you get past the single letter streets, you'll cross single-syllable streets (in alphabetical order), then double-syllable, and finally, triple-syllable streets.
yay bumblebee ❗😎
Since you have visited DC, did you consider riding the metro system to get around the city? If so, did you record footage of you riding the dc metro? Hopefully, you'll make a "Riding The DC Metro from a New Yorker" video in the works. If not, maybe next time if the metro is more frequent on trains could you possibly do it? I'm glad you visited DC! I'm born there and raised in the suburbs.
12:10 the haggen das where Henry Rollins and Ian Mc Kaye worked
DC XXXX HC
There's a very nice Ethiopian restaurant at the corner of 28th and M Streets.
Georgetown Cupcakes are the best!!
Enjoy the Exorcist Stairs!
Always hered of Georgetown University I just no what it looked like
Love my school
💚💖I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU💖💚
your street is cleaned.
It's raining there
How does "Cart Narcs" travel the world?
He works as an airline steward?
💝ماشاءالله،الحمدالله💝
Po-toe-mic river not Po-tom-mic
Georgetown looks like London
There must be an elevator inside of GWU graduate school building
My Alma Mater. HOYA SAXA!
Hey Kenneth, you were in my town! Had no Idea. Gallaudet U is not far from me I'm west of there, and live closer to Catholic U, Howard U. You walking through that portion of Georgetown really does like like some place totally different from Washington, DC in general. Very historical. Arlington, VA (Arlington, National Cemetery, etc.) is just right over the Potomac River over Key Bridge off M Street NW. DC just had the cherry blossom festival and this weekend, Japanese festival. Rob with Walk Ride Fly visited DC several times during the Presidential election Biden/Harris and when the area was full of blockades because of the US Capitol Building insurgent. Georgetown Cupcakes used to be on a TV reality show. I see the lines still forming outside. Used to go home from Arlington, VA right over Key Bridge (Rosslyn) into DC, to my home in NE, DC, and would drive up that street past that shop. So you walked to Rosslyn metro. The company I work for was right up the street, now in Falls Church, VA, about few miles down from Rosslyn. 🤗
Excellent, there's a lot to see in Georgetown and I had a lot of fun exploring it!
Georgetown is named after first president George Washington.
DC too Hot summer
Ronald reagan worst airport un the área
When you are in District of Columbia, you are not in America. You are in a sister City-State aligned with Vatican City (Holy Roman Catholic Church) and Westminster City of London (Crown Corporation)
"historic neighborhood" is a pretty big statement for a country that doesn't have history lol
Arlington VA is a pretty neat modern city … pretty nice. And Georgetown had that old charm … looks very British. Nice stuff. Wow … America is massive
They're very neat places!
Georgetown looks very similar to old town Alexandria. Slaves were sold right off M Street, close to Potomac River. Black people populated (lived) in Georgetown at one time.
BTW the quote about your mother in hell is actually from the movie The Exorcist. Don't think it was meant to be personal, lol!
