Don't Lie to Me about Adams Morgan
Continuing the TV shows that feature Washington, DC, I’m watching Lie to Me and I’m finding the show actually lies about DC. In between indoor action scenes, they flash images of DC. Most are spot on, the DC Convention Center for example. While others, not so much.
Note this photo of Adams-Morgan. See anything a miss? I sure do.
What, no one’s figured out why that photo of Adams-Moran is all wrong yet? You people never go in daylight, or just never sober enough to remember?
Besides the green trees and copious amounts of parking space? Or the fact that that’s not Adams Morgan?
The problem isn’t where that shot is, it’s when. That’s definitely the 2400 block of 18th St NW, but there should be a condo building and an entrance to a parking garage where that empty lot is on the right of your screen.
I don’t think it’s wrong, it’s just old, taken before the condo/parking garage/retail building popped up, and maybe since some restaurants changed hands.
I was amused by the scene supposedly inside the Natural History Museum. It was definitely not the Smithsonian; pretty sure it was AMNH in New York.
Bingo! Fedward gets the gold star today. He noted that its Adams-Morgan alright, just a few too many years ago.
And Sarah gets the bonus point! I haven’t been to the Natural History Museum to know that it was.
