Washington - Pennsylvania Avenue

 
Pennsylvania is a broad avenue which runs from the White House to Congress and thus serves as a ceremonial way. For example, several presidents have walked the distance after their inaugurations. The street is lined with many elegant buildings of interest and is designated on the National Register.

In the design of the District of Columbia a square street grid was overlaid with a series of diagonal avenues, most named after American states.
