Outside Pizzeria Paradiso on 3282 M Street NW in Georgetown, Washington DC.
This pizzeria serves some of the best pizzas I've ever had, baked in a brick oven, and has an impressing beer selection too (which is why I was here in the first place) both on draft and bottle. And they arrange frequent Beer Dinners with US craft breweries!

Georgetown University is a private, Jesuit, research university, located in Washington, D.C.'s Georgetown neighborhood. Father John Carroll founded the school in 1789, though its roots extend back to 1634. While the school struggled financially in its early years, Georgetown expanded into a branched university after the U.S. Civil War under the leadership of university president Patrick Francis Healy. Georgetown is both the oldest Roman Catholic and oldest Jesuit university in the United States. Its religious heritage is defining for Georgetown's identity, but has at times been controversial.
Georgetown's three urban campuses feature traditional collegiate architecture and layout, but prize their green spaces and environmental commitment. The main campus is known for Healy Hall, designated a National Historic Landmark. Academically, Georgetown is divided into four undergraduate schools and four graduate schools, with nationally recognized programs and faculty in international relations, law, medicine, and business.

I had a great time exploring the streets of Georgetown with its abundance of pre war shop houses and different ethnic neighborhoods.

Georgetown University is a private research university in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1789, it is the oldest Jesuit and Catholic university in the United States. Georgetown's main campus, located in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood, is noted for Healy Hall, a National Historic Landmark in the Romanesque revival style. Georgetown operates a law center on Capitol Hill and auxiliary campuses in Italy, Turkey, and Qatar.
Georgetown's founding by John Carroll, America's first Catholic bishop, realized earlier efforts to establish a Roman Catholic college in the province of Maryland that had been thwarted by religious persecution. The university expanded after the American Civil War under the leadership of Patrick Francis Healy, who came to be known as Georgetown's "second founder" despite having been born a slave by law. Jesuits have participated in the university's administration since 1805, a heritage Georgetown celebrates, but the university has always been governed independently of the Society of Jesus and of church authorities.
The university has around 7,000 undergraduate and over 8,000 post-graduate students from a wide variety of religious, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds, including 130 foreign countries. The university's most notable alumni are prominent in public life in the United States and abroad. Among them are former U.S. President Bill Clinton, U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, dozens of U.S. governors and members of Congress, heads of state or government of more than a dozen countries, royalty and diplomats.
Campus organizations include the country's largest student-run business and largest student-run banking option. Georgetown's athletic teams, called the Hoyas, include a men's basketball team that has won a record-tying seven Big East championships, appeared in five Final Fours, and won a national championship in 1984.

Have no idea why I took this 2011 photo of my well worn tennis shoe. It was rotated 180° in the original. May have been placing the camera on the sidewalk and accidently tripped the shutter? These shoes have now been relegated to only lawn mowing duty, and look even worse.

A story of not-at-all "best practices"
Georgetown, IN
This drive-in's website stated that it was open X number of nights a week, and we drove all the way from St. Louis to see a movie. When we got here, there was a sign on the box office indicating that they were now only open on weekends. And it was not a weekend.
Drive-in operators need to realize that there are drive-in enthusiasts who will travel great distances to patronize their business, and that's only ONE reason among many that they should keep their website up-to-date.
Fortunately, it wasn't far to Bloomington, and there's plenty to see and do in Bloomington.
