Where's the Cheese?

Washington DC is a strange maze. Streets start going north, then veer off to the left. Street names change randomly, sometimes dead-end then reappear going a completely different direction.

And don’t try using statues of men riding horses or sitting pensively in chairs as a landmark. Every freaking block has a round-a-bout with one. How many statues of Jefferson does one city need?

Someone told me that when the city was being built, it was intentionally made confusing to thwart the enemy.

Well, if the enemy was a nubile, young California tourist, then mission accomplished!
