While checking on places to rent a canoe today, I spotted a place marked The Mole on the map.

Looking this up led me to an article about a disused subway station, part of a system that opened in 1870 and "included stops near the Capitol, the White House, each of the city’s markets and an adults-only nude beach near the Tidal Basin."

I made a mental note to do further research in support of a future visit. I am a Friend of Outrageously Obscure Locations!
