A gentleman from Tennessee,
Came to visit D.C.
Lodged in Dupont*,
He thought of L’Enfant**,
As consort, of Claude Debussy.
* In the latter part of the 20th century, Dupont Circle became known as a gay area (nicknamed the "Fruit Loop") and somewhat bohemian neighborhood, but the area has gentrified since the mid-1970s along its main commercial strip on Connecticut Avenue, and has become a trendy location with a mix of coffee houses, bars (gay and straight), and upscale retail stores. Notable stores include a 24 hour bookstore and restaurant, KramerBooks & Afterwords cafe & grill[1] (http://www.kramers.com/); and D.C.'s first gay book store, Lambda Rising.
** Pierre-Charles L'Enfant was the French-born engineer, architect, and urban designer who designed the basic plan for Washington, DC.
