Washington DC

Bookstores and Theatre

I was wondering if anyone had any leads on independent book stores - I find the collection to be a lot better then the chains.

Also, I'm searching for off-the-beaten path theatre.  Are there any neat little theater houses that people can point me to?

Many thanks!

I'm not sure where you are but you should check out the Creative Alliance at The Patterson in Baltimore City.  They have a lot of neat events there as well as exhibits and screenings.

Much appreciated. I have noted down these locations. I'm a bit of a collector and adore finding bookstores I can get lost in for hours.
